Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —
“I cannot tell you with pen and ink what
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound

NOs. HE origin of cormorant fish-
jeast a thousand years ago
it is known to have flour-
thousand years ago. Much romance
and history are connected with the fish-
and statesmen are associated with it.
While a commercial enterprise, it does
many places. It is confined to rivers,
and the most extensive, interesting and
River and most noted of the cormor-
ant fishing villages is in the outskirts
of the large city of Gifu.
At the time of my visit, the chief cor-
morant fisherman, whose ancestors for
many generations had engaged in this
fishery in the same locality. attired
himself in the peculiar dress of the
profession for the purpose of exhibit-
ing his birds and the methods of
handling them. Later he and all the
other fishermen on the river went to
a rendezvous and gave a practical de-
monstration of cormorant fishing.
The cormorants are controlled by
means of a slender cord, which passes
around the bird's breast and is tied in
the middle of the back. The cord is
made of woody fibers of the crypto-
meria tree, with the exception of a
short section next to the bird, which
consists of whalebone. There is a sup-
plemental cord tied around the neck
at the lower end of the gullet for the
purpose of preventing the fish from
passing so far that they cannot be
recovered. The iying of this cord is
a delicate operation, for if too tight
it may injure the bird and if too loose
it will allow the fish to be swallowed.
The fishery is conducted from boats,
which are of a special type, being long,
narrow dugouts, propelled primarily by
paddles, but when en route to the fish-
ing grounds often provided with a sail.
Each boat has a crew of four men and
a complement of sixteen cormorants.
Late in the afternoon the boats start
for a place in the river where fishing
will begin, the cormorants being
stowed away in pairs in bamboo bas-
kets. The fishing grounds cover
many miles, and operations are con-
fined to successive sections of the river
nightly, in accordance = with law.
Siretches several thousands yards in
length are set aside as imperial re-
serves, on which no fishing is permit-
ted.
As soon as darkness prevails a blaz-
ing fire of pine wood is kindled in
the iron basket overhanging the bow
of the boat, and the boats drift down
stream together, sometimes in a mixed
group, sometimes in a line extending
across the river, each guided and pro-
pelled by two men. The captain, stand-
ing near the bow, manages twelve cor-
morants and his assistant four, the
cords being held between the fingers
and frequently shifted as the birds
move about. With the cormorants
diving and darting in all directions,
those of different boats often mingling,
it is a wonder that they ‘do not soon
become inextricably tangled, but so
skillfully are they managed that the
lines rarely become fouled. In a short
time the cormorants’ gullets begin to
bulge with ayu: when they are well
filled the.birds.are pulled up to the gun-
wales one by one and their catch is
‘ baskets. This
—
cormorant may fil
to twenty times.
Spectators usually go to the fishing
.grounds in a kind eof barge, illumi-
nated by lanterns, and eat their din-
ner on board while waiting-at a con-
venient point for the fishing boats to
arrive. During the evening when I
witnessed the fishery the seven boats
in whose operations I was particularly
interested averaged 700 or 800 fish
apiecé, and the aggregate catch was
worth $150—a very respectable sum to
Japanese fishermen.
The fishery is prosecuted with en-
thusiasm by both men and cormorants,
and the shouts of the fishermen, the
hoarse croaking of the birds, the rush
of the mountain stream, the splashing
and creaking of the paddles, the hiss-
ing of the embers as they fall into the
water, the weird lights and- shadows
combine to make a performance which
a Westerner is not likely soon to for-
get.

TERRAPIN FARMS.
The cultivation of water products has
gone hand in hand with the fisheries,
and in certain lines has attained
greater perfection and extent than in
any other country. The raising of ter-
rapin, which with us. is an unsolved
problem and has only recently been
seriously considered, has for years been
very successfully carried on by ile
Japanese. I visited a terrapin farm
near Tokio, “where 50.000 to 60,000
artificially grown terrapin are placed
on the market annually. Without any
outside aid or suggestions, the Japan-
ese have evolved special methods for
the cultivation of many kinds of mol-
lusks, including the pearl oyster, the
ark-shell, several claims, and various
other lamellibranchs, and, in addition,
the common oyster.
That the Japanese should realize the
importance of oyster culture is not
strange; but that they should have
taken it up a century before our mna-
{ tion was born and have recognized
famous fishery is that in the Nagara
#22" ns" "en" "a Pe se ee a "a a nn aaa a a a ne a a a a ee xn
the most essential factor in successful
celtivation, namely, individual owner-
ship or control of the oyster bottoms,
comes as something of a shock to our
national pride when we remember
that in the most important oyster re-
gion in the world, within a short dis-
tance of the capital of the United
States, the vital principles of oyster
culture are ignored and efforts to ap-
ply them are resisted sometimes by
force” of arms. The cultivation of
oysters las reached greatest perfec-
tion in the Inland Sea near Hiroshima,
and some very ingenious methods have
there been evolved, which are de-
seribed in a paper by Dr. Bashford
Dean recently published by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries.
Among the fishes regularly cultivated
are the eel, the mullet, the carp, the
goldfish, and several salmon and trout.
The important salmon fishery in north-
ern Japan having suffered from deple-
tion of the streams, the government
sent a representative to this country
twenty years ago to study our hatching
methods. It goes without saying that
he took home with him a well-filled
note book, ‘and, in addition, the plans
of one of our salmon hatcheries, and
shortly afterwards from those plans
built in Hokkaido the first salmon
hatchery in Asia. With this as a model
and centre, salmon culture in Japan
has steadily grown, until there are now
eighteen salmon hatcheries in Honshu
and Hokkaido, and Japan has become
the only competitor of the United
States in the artificial propagation of
salmon.
The carp has been cultivated from
very ancient times and now receives
much attention. In the Tokio district
alone 225 acres of pools are devoted to
carp culture, and the annual crop is
upward of 400,000 pounds, valued at
$15,000. In one village in the Gifu
prefecture 250 acres of paddy fields,
in which there is growing rice, have
recently been devoted to carp culture
by the local agricultural society, and
25,000,000 young fish are now procured
there annually and sold for stocking
purposes. It is a significant fact that
the carp net only does not injure the
rice, plants, but benefits them by de-
vouring destructive insects, whereas
in this country one of the very loud-
est and longest wails against the carp
is that it uproots aquatic vegetation.
GOLDFISH FARMS.
The goldfish receives more attention
than any other species, and the place
it holds in the affections of the masses
illustrates one of the racial character-
istics of the Japanese—namely, the love
for the beautiful and ornamental, and
the time and money all classes bestow
on things that appeal to the esthetic
rather than to the mercenary and prac-
tical. Although the goldfish occurs in
a wild state in Japan, it is probable
that China some 400 years ago fur-
nished the stock from which the won-
derful varieties of Japanese goldfish
have been bred. It is reported that
in feudal days, even when famine was
abroad in the land and many people
were starving, the trade in goldfish
‘was flourishing. The demand at pres-
ent appears to be without limit, and
the output” shows a substantinl in-
crease each year. Many thousands
of people make a living by growing
goldfish for market, and hundreds of
peddlers carry the fish
streets and along the country roads
in wooden tubs suspended froma a
shoulder bar,
The leading goldfish centre is Kori-
Yama, near the ancient capital city
of Nara. Here are 350 independent
breeding establishments, whose yearly
product runs far into the millions. One
farm ;which I visited was started 140
years ago; at first it was conducted
merely for the pleasure of the owner,
but it eventually became a commercial
enterprise and is now very profitable.
The history and methods of geldfish
cultpre in Japan constitute a very en-
gaging theme, not less interesting to
the biologist than to the fish culturist.
Some of the current American ideas
of the manner in which the remarkable
varieties have been produced are pre-
posterous, and evoked much merriment
among the Japanese when I mentioned
them.—National Geographic Magazine.
Full Moon.
A New York man named Tompkins,
starting on a trip South, fell in with an
old acquaintance, and was surprised
to learn that the man he had known
for so many years was just starting on
his wedding tour. Congratulations fol-
lowed, says the New York Tribune,
and when the old friend mentioned the
name of his bride, the daughter of an
extremely wealthy man, Tompkins ex-
claimed:
“Well,
man!”
The bridegroom gave a smile of mod-
est satisfaction, and soon after excused
himself to return to his wife.
When Tompkins and his traveling
companion were alone, the companion
remarked:
“Appears to have struck it pretty
rich, eh?”
“I should say so!” exclaimed Tomp-
Kins.

FINE RAD TRADE REVIEW
STRUCTURAL STEEL DEMAND
Premiums Offered for Quick Deliv
ery and Producers Are Consid-
ering Advance in Prices.
R."G. Dun & Co.’s ‘Weekly Re-
view of Trade” says: Seasonable
merchandise goes into consumption
more freely than usual, retail trade
exceeding expectations at many
points, and preparation for fall and
winter business is on a liberal scale,
except in a few agricultural commu-
nities, where there is a disposition
to await definite assurances regard-
ing the crops. The official report
was more encouraging as to grain,
and later dispatches from the prin-
cipal farming centers indicate that
good results are being attained, de-
spite some excess of moisture.
Manufacturing reports are regular,
the cotton industry being unsettled
by the rise in raw material; woolen
mills have a similar, but less sensa-
tional obstacle; footwear shops are
shipping less freely, but are main-
taining the higher level of prices and
current dullness in pig iron does not
weaken confidence in an early re-
sumption of liberal purchases. Dun’s
Index Number on July was $98,312,
against $98,759 a month earlier, and
$97,192 a year ago. Railway earn-
ings for the first week of July ex-
ceeded last year’s by 5.3 per cent,
and foreign commerce at New York
for the last week showed gains of
$1,520,462 in imports and $580,449 in
exports, as compared with the corre-
sponding week of 1904. Mercantile
collections have improved. In strik-
ing contrast a dullness and weakness
of the raw material, structural steel
is so urgently sought that premiums
are sometimes paid for quick deliv-
ery, and producers are considering
the advisability of a general advance
in list prices. Many large building
contracts have appeared during the
past week, and the tonnage of new
bridge work is a feature.
Failures this week were 223 in the
United States, against 225 last year,
and 26 in Canada, compared with 20
a year ago.
