a common firhin, which may bS
had in various sizes.
The usual procedure Is to spIit
the fish down the belly 10 the
vent and remove the intestines.
Take out the backbone and cut
off the. head and tail. BE sure 10
scale the fish and wash III sailed
water.
Having prepared the fish In some
such way as indicated. place q layer
OF salt on the bottom Of the con.
OF fish, one deep, skin side down,
tail or narrow end toward Inc
center of the container. previously
having rubbed ONTO the meat SIDE
some salt: then cover these with
layer OF salt and add another layer
OF fish, repeating the process until
the container is full or the supply
off ish Is exhausted.
The salt with moisture from tn,
fish win make strong brine in
which the fish may be kept until
required for use. II protected from
heat. The temperature should not
exceed 20 degrees Fahrenheit. "A
lower degree is safer. A piece Of
board shaped to fit the contAiner
should be placed on top of the fish
and weighted with a clean rock.
If the supply of fish first packed
Is not sufficient to fill the rAcep.
tacle, by following the same process
as before, other fish may be added
from time to time until the con.
tainer is full Should the brine
evaporate or leak out, a sufficient
quantity to cover the fish may re
added. This is made by dissolvin2
two and one-half pounds of salt to
one gallon of water. or until the
brine Is strong enough to float

should be headed up or tightly
covered.

In October. 1905, at the white
House, President Theodore Roose
welt said: The most Objectionable
of all game destroyers is, of course,
the kind Of game butcher who sim
ply kills for the sake Of the rec
ord of slaughter, who leaves deer
and ducks and prairie-chicken to
rot after he has slain them. Such
a man is wholly obnoxious; and,
indeed. SO Is any man who shoots
for the purpose of establishing a
record Of the amount of game
killed. AS for excessive
game butchery, 1t amounts to
repulsive debauch."
President Roosevelt might well
have added this: "Ard at no time Is
1t more deplorable than when a
man regularly kills far more game
than he can use, and is compelled
to give away stale ducks to keep
them from spelling on his hand"
The time has now arrived to
apply these principles to all the
wnsteful, exterminatory and wick.
cd bag limits now in force in
America against our game. The
road is wide open: our journey Is
half done; let US finish the course.
