W. T. Studdert and C. W. Ander
on, of the United States Bureau rf
fisheries, arrived in Cordova lie
ast steamer and will remain here se
eral weeks, introducing :ho scotch
nethod of curing the herring, which
iromises to develope into one of Al
ska's best fishing industries. iJlim
nating the technical details the a
;ents said: "As land stations are
Jniost unobtainable, a good scow
s required and this in some cases
ias a marked advantage over the
hore station as it enables^the pack
r to follow the herring from place
o place.
"In St otland the herring are caught
rom 20 to 50 miles of shore in gill
lets operated by steam drifters.
Vhen the herring first strike these
hores they are full of red feed
rhich makes them unfit for curing
mrposes. Gill nets are therefore
lot practical at this season for the
ish must be caught alive and kept
live in ponds, the same as in Nor
way, un il they rid themselves of this
bjectionable red feed.
“The pond method of fishing has
ood and bad points. In this method
rany small herring are caught which
re only fit for bait and they have to
e sorted, and herring readily lose
heir scales which does not improve
heir appearance when cured. To off
et these disadvantages the packers
re assured of a daily support while
he herring are also given a chance
a clear themselves of the red feed.
“I.ater in the season as the tier
ing show formation of milt, or roe,
hey seem to be clear of red feed
nd as gill nets would greatly help
a the grading or selecting the fish,
Bss labor would be required in hand
ing them. The smaller, or bait her
ing are thus given a chance to es
ape.
“The method of curing in brief is
s follows: After the fish are caught
hey are removed from the boat im
nediately and lightly sprinkled with
alt. Then they are gibbed and the
nut bag removed, after which they
or© selected according to size, the
\arious fish being thrown into sep
rrate baskets or boxes. The llsh
i sed range from nine and a quarter
to twelve Inches in length.
"Alter the fish havc^gen ciJrfciiilly !
selected they are again suited and
<horoughly mixed or wmked over by
hand. This Is none as rousing and
is very essential. The salt is now
sticking to the skin of the fish and
they are ready to be packed in bar
rels. of special size. In packing
care must bo taken Co keep the fish
straight on their backs in the bar
rels so that the salt when applied
will reach all sides of the fish equal
ly and one side of the herring will
not receive a heavier salting then
the other.
"After the first layer Is packed a
further salting is required, the
amount depending on the size and
fatness of the fish. The second and
succeeding layers are salted and
handled as before, but each succeed
ing layer is laid at right angles i >
the preceeding one.
"The barrels are set up in upright
position for three days and the fish
settle as the salt works into the
fish. It Is therefore necessary to fill
the barrels up before heading, after
which the barrel is placed on its side
for ten days. After this length of
time the barrel is again placed on
end, the pickle drawn from the bung
hole, located at about the center of
the barrel.
“It will readily be seen that this
will again cause the fish to settle,
requiring a final filling. As the her
ring used for this filling must be of
the same day's cure and selection,
they require very little salt between
the extra layers. No salt whatever
is placed on the top layer, for which
the herring are pressed in shape by
hand, giving a neat and finished up
pearance. The barrel is now closed
placed again on its side and pickle
added through the bung, finishing
the process. The herring are then
cured and ready for shipment.”

a fresh struggle, Great Britain and America would think, after

In other words an Anglo-American world domination would be
firmly established and Germany itself would be regarded as a
second rate power Great Britain thereby in reality attaining
its war aim.
