BY-PRODUCTS. 
Only a few firms are engaged solely in the preparation of by- 
products in the New England States and several of these are the sole 
manufacturers of a particular product within the State or section, the 
eater part of the material being prepared incidental to other 
ranches of the fishery trade. It is therefore impracticable to present 
2 detailed table of this important industry for individual States. In 
the following table the quantity and value of the products are shown 
as completely as possible without disclosing private enterprise. 
In view of the increased demand for protein feed for hogs, cattle, 
and poultry, it is suggested that New England producers of scrap and 
pomace give consideration to the manufacture of fish waste and waste 
fish into fish meal for feeding purposes.
