oyster 3,
Next month will bring us the ovsler, us
it contains the letter "r" which seems to
be closely associated with the little bi
valve, warranting and defending us in the
right to place it upon our bill-of-fire and
eat it with relish comfort and impunity.
The oyster has a history which if writ
ten In detail would be as voluminous as a
Legislative Record but not half so ' dry."
The origin of its becoming an article of
diet is lost in obscurity. Tradition says
it was first eaten bv a party of ship
wrecked Spiuish sailors cast away upon
an island. Gloom surrounded them, star
vation staring them when this little rough
and uninviting specimen of wa or bir I
with its wings closed up "put in an ap
pearance" upon the Falling into
their hands, they soon passed into their
lank stomachs, affording them healthy
nourishment and giving itself a place of
distinction among the edible articles of
the world. As to the correctness of the
foregoing we cannot vouch. We write it
as a calm imagination aided by tradition
ary matter dictates. Of its late history
we know more and shall dwell on that
especially.
For a long time it was a luxury, hardly
enjoyed by the rich as an article of gen
eral diet, while the poor could hardly ob
tain it for sickness. lint "the world
moves on" and so did the cause of the
oyster. New beds were found, the de
mand increased and it became an article
of traffic and merchandise as well .as beef
or pork,engaging the attention of capi
talists and enlisting the services of both
men and ships. It was within the pres
ent century that it was found to be sus
ceptible of cultivation as well a the crops
of the Held. Accordingly men began to
experiment and a trial proved the enter
prise to be practical, successful and ic
muuerative; thus adding subaqueous
farming to tlie list of industries followed
by mankind. We cannot go into a de
tailed account of this unique farming.
The grounds are bought and sold, poles
indicating each man's line. The seed
oysters are planted when no larger than
a chestnut and raked after four years
growth, yet they attain double that age
but it is not profitable to keep them any
longer. After raking follows the shuck
ing, putting into cans, kegs, tubs and
barrels and shipping, &e.
As the result of the experiments and im
provements made in the Oyster business
generally, through the planting, raking,
shucking, caning, etc., we linda great
industry, employing thousands of men,
hundreds of vessels, numerous factories
and millions of eapitol, 100 000 pounds
are annually sent to Europe—our Eastern
coast along the Middle states producing
the larges and best stock of the world.
Steam power is now used for raking, but
the hat.d system is pronounced the best
for the good of t he bed.
See the great strike of the 'Shockers"
in Baltimore last winter, lrom 3000 to
4000 m- n were in the parade.
These statements give some idea of the
greatness ol' this industry, which keeps
pace with all other branches of trade, the
field hardly hav ing n limit, as the tinnier
ous bays adopted to the propogation of
this useful article are but little occupied
j and the poles indicating the lines of those
water farms, hardly noticed by a tourist
when passing them.
It is no longer a high toned dish in
which the rich alone can revel, but the
poor man working at moderate wages
can indulged in an occasional stew, it
costing no more than fresh beef or pork.
But in conclusion we say, blest be the
first man whether a Spanish sailor or a
Gerinen negro, who had the courage and
good sencc to swallow a juicy and harm
less oyster, therby conferring upon man
kind a right and blessing which for prac
tical use and lasting value is among the
formost inventions of the age, and should
any of the descendants of this philan
thropic inventor ever be found, we say
g ve them a big international medal,
iiuide of gold and resembling the oyster.
