kitchen-gardens, for a change to vegetable 

 diet. 



Being abundant, savory, and nutritious, 

 they are sought for by boys, tramps, and 

 amateur negro fishermen in the soft 

 bottoms of our bays and creeks during 

 the greater part of the year. To the an- 

 gler their capture affords no sport and is 

 deemed a laborious, lowly business. 



For tackle use flaxen line, protected 

 with gimp or wire near the hook ; hooks, 

 from Nos. 7 to 9 ; let sinker touch bottom. 

 Bait with worm, frog, clam, shrimp, flesh, 



etc.
