Compare this return with that of Britain, where the great bulk of the herring is taken on the shores of Scotland and the adjacent islands. In 1862 no less than 832.904 barrels were cured in Britain, besides an immense quantity used in a fresh condition. The Newfoundland herring-fishery might be increased to almost any extentâ€"the shoals of herring that periodically visit our shores being enormous. At present the chief seats of the herring-fishery, in . addition to Labrador, are Fortune Bay, iSt. George’s Bay, Bay of Islands and LBonne Bay. The Labrador herring en- [joy a world-wide reputation> and the her- ring taken in Bay of Islands are equally fine. This locality, which seems destin- ed one day to be the Amsterdam of‘NeW- foundland, has a winter herring-fishery, lasts from December till April. The bay is frozen over, holes are cut in the ice, and the herring taken in nets. From fifty to a hundred vessels load here dur- ing the winter for the Canadian and American markets. From Fortune Bay large quantities of herring are exported in a frozen state, and sold fresh in the markets of Boston and New York. Hitherto little attention has been paid to cure herring, and, in consequence, the repution of Newfoundland herring has sufi‘ered in foreign markets. There is urgent need of a system of inspection and branding by Government ofiicials, such as prevails in Scotland, and has worked so advantageously. We also re- quire an importation of skilled eurers from the North of Scotland to impart to our people a knowledge of the art of our- ing the herring. Very wonderful is tlat great harvest of the sea which is innually reaped around these shores,â€"4 harvest which needs no tillage of the insbandman, the fruits of which are gthered without either sowing seed or paying rent. First comes the spring seal-ishery, in which some half million seal: are captured. This is succeeded by he summer cod- fishery, lasting till the veginning of Oc- tober, and yielding not less than sixty millions of cod annusly, allowing an average of sixty fish‘to iach quintal of dried cod. Then com the herring- fishery, beginning in ictober, and in some localities lasting .hroughout the winter. The herring-{Show of New- foundland is yet in its “fancy. In 1867, teem r The phenomena of' our herring-fishery completely disprove the old theory about the annual migration of herring to and from the Arctic seas, and go to show that the herring is a local not a migratory fish The theory of Pennant and the older naturalist was that in the inaccessible seas of the high northern latitudes, herrings were found in overwhelming abundance, securing Within the icy Arctic Circle a hounteous feeding ground, and, at the same time, a quiet and safe retre’at from l their numerous enemies. These theo- rists further held that, at a. certain sea- son, inspired by some commanding im- Our Herring fisheries. gimmmm. @mfixg. Thoughts. pulse, vast bodies of this fish gathered themselves together into one great army, and, in numbers far exceeding the pew- ers of imagination to picture, departed for the waters of Europe and America, sending oii detachments in various, direc- tions as they reached their places of des- tination. Till rather recently this theory was almost universally accepted; but an extended acquaintance with the habits of this fish has now completely exploded it. The ascertained facts regarding the na~ tural history of the herring along these shores, are entirely irreconcilable with the supposition of an annual migration, and all combine to Show that it is a. na- tive of the seas where it is taken. In point of fact, the herring is taken on the costs of Newfoundland and Labrador all the year round, the fishery commencing at various times in the different localities. Besides, the herrings of different locali- ties are marked by distinctive features. In appearance and flavor the Labrador herring is essentially different from that of Fortune Bay, and the same descrip- tion of fish is invariable take in each 10- cality. The superiority of the Labrador herring is doubtless owing to the supe- rior feeding it enjoys, for it is natural that the animals of one feeding locality should differ from those of another. Dif- ferent races of herring thus exist in dif- ferent places, having marked differences in size, shape, and quality. From mere- ly glancing at the fish, an expert fisher will tell in a moment their different loca- lities. The St. George’s Bay herring difl'ers widely from those taken in the Bay of Islands, and a Bonne Bay her- ring is never mistaken for aFortune Bay herring. All these facts point to one conclusion that the herring is a native of the water in which it is taken, and never migrates, unless, as other fish, from deep to shallower and warmer water, in order to deposit its spawn. It follows from this that by overfishing, the herring of any locality may be greatly reduced or even exterminated, as has hap- pened here more than once. Nothing, however, is more certain than that her- ring-dealers know the different localities of the fimas a farmer distin- Gilbert White says, “the two great motives which regulate the brute creaa tion are love and hunger: the one ineites them to perpetuate their kind, the latter induces them to preserve individuals.” In obedience to these laws, the herring congregate on our coasts, for there only they find an abundant supply of food to nature with the necessary rapidity their milt and roe, as well as a seatbottom fit- ted to receive their spawn. They must have a rocky bottom to spawn yupon, with a. vegetable growth of some kind to pre- serve the roe. The herring shoal keeps well together till the time of spawned, it breaks up, and then the herring lead an. individual life. The same shoal will al- ways gather over the same spawning ground, and the fish keep their position till they fulfil the‘grand object of their life. Before spawning they swim deep and hug the ground ; after spawning they rise buoyantly to the top water. It is worth noting that when they thus come within the reach of man, the herring are in their worst condition, so far as food- yielding qualities are concerned, because at the spawning season their whole nu~ tritive powers are exerted in reproducing their kind and their flesh is consequently lean. The family of the herring is rather ex- tensiveâ€"the most prominent members being the common herring, the sprat, the pilchard, the white bait and anchovy. The pilchard is the sardine of commerce; but its place is often usurped by the sprat, and thousands of tin boxes of that fish are annually made up and sold as sardines. In France this practice is ex- tensively followed,â€"â€"75,000 barrels of sprats being annually taken on the coast of Brittany, of which large quantities are done up in oil as sardines. It is now generally admitted among the best na- turalists that the sprat are the young of the herring. However this may be, not less than 13,000 boats of Brittany are i engaged in the sardine trade, capturing1 sprats, young pilehards and young herâ€" ring for curing as sardines. According to Mitchell, the sum of £80,000 is an- nually expended on cod and mackerel roe lfOI‘ bait in this fishery. ’ From New- foundland 964 barrels of cod roe were exported last year, the whole of which Was forwarded to France for the sardines The herring of Newfoundland is near- ly all picked for exportion. Were there a ready means of communication estab- lished between Bay of Island, Bonne Bay, Labrador and the United States and Canada, one would fancy that a splendid trade might be established by curing the fine herring of these localities as “ bloa- ters" and “rods.” The “bloaters” are very slightly cured, and as slightly smoked, being prepared for immediate sale speedily consumption. The name “bloater” is derived fiom the herring beginning to SWell or bloat during the proceeds of curing. Small logs of oak are burned to produce the smoke, and the fish are all put on “ spits,” which are run through the gills. Treated in this way, the Bay of Islands and Labra- dor herring would be a most delicious article. I think, however, I have given you enough about herring for one article, and may, perhaps, return to the subject. â€"From New Dominion Monthly. “ Our Garden ”â€"How much there is in these two words, so much of home and its attractions, good for father, mother, children and all. But to have a garden worthy of the name, we must not expect only to work with a plough and team for about three days in the spring, and do no more all the remaining part of the year. A mere vegetable patch is not worthy of the name of “ Our Garden.” What I mean by a garden is some lawn plenty of deciduous trees, and some ever- greens in their proper place, good orchard trees, and vines, with a plentiful portion appropriated for vegetables and small fruits. This garden will require work and attention, and if of any extent, no doubt the time required will sometimes be illâ€"spared, but the garden is such an ornament and luxury that all are ready to put a hand to its decoration; Odd hours are continually occurring in which much maybe done. Then the vegetables are such an addition to house-keeping; often and. often there has been wanted in fisheries. In this country it is worth three dollars per barrel. fiidesTWW .;» butter. A good garden has always some- thing to be found in it for such a purpose; peas, beans, cauliflowers, tomatoes, rhu- barb, radishes, squash, cabbage, onions, beets, etc.; all these things, are most use- ful, and they will repay the time, care and trouble of raismg them. Not to mention flowers, fruits of all kinds, goose- berries, currants, apples, pears, blackberâ€" ries, raspberries, are all to be had in abun- dance for just the trouble of planting, manuring, and keeping free from weeds ; and what an addition to housekeeping these form. Often in cities, and particularly in their environs, do We see an acre, and sometimes mugh more, of meadow land, around two sides of a nice house, with trees scattered about, every little depres sion made something of', and forming a great attraction by its nentness alone; and such a. meadow, on n more extensive scale, with such trees, is Within the reach of every farmer in the land. There is absolutely no expense whatever attending it after planting, as sheep will crop the grass without injury to the trees, and mowing is quite unnecessary. You may depend on it, to bring up 9. family with such an addition to their home, is to give the first strong inducement to the girls or boys to possess such a home of their own, and they will ultimately have one. Their minds are set towards it, and hav- ing always been used to it, will not read- ily dispense with such. Bear this in mind, fathers and mothers, and if you desire your children's welfare, and that they should like home, devote two or three acres about your homestead to men- dow, tress, garden, and walks, and a drive up to the house through them. When will our well-toâ€"do farmers act upon such suggestions as these, and make each home, to the members of each fami- ly, the preitlest spot on earth, and our Canadian home the moét beautiful and attractive country of this continent:- Camula Farmer.
