FOREST AND STREAM. 



[AFEHi 3, 1888. 



States to investigate and try to replenish exhausted fisheries? 

 Why do all this if Huxley be correct? The proposition is 

 absurd; experience disproves it. Nearly every nation on the 

 globe, at least all the civilized ones, who have fishery inter- 

 ests, have sooner or later had to extend the protective sway 

 over those interests. Hardly one is to be found that is not 

 protected, and statistics show how lively an interest govern- 

 ments have taken in trying to save to man this much-needed 

 food, intended for his happiness and welfare. 



Some instances of how man may injure fishing interests 

 may not be out of place. I will cite one: The sea fisheries 

 of the Irish coast, in 1846, employed twenty thousand vessels 

 and one hundred thousand men; in 1875 it was reduced to 

 six thousand vessels and to fifteen thousand men. Other 

 facts of equally startling character could be cited, showing 

 that man's cupidity, if unrestrained, would despoil nature 

 of her beauty and' loveliness, and, if necessary, deprive the 

 people of the earth of their needed subsistence in order to 

 line its pockets with gold. 



The menhaden fishermen are charged by the denizens of 

 our coast, including the inshore haud-line fishermen, with 

 destroying their industry and depriving them of food by 

 driving from our coast/its bays, rivers, creeks and water's 

 the menhaden which used to 'throng these waters in vast 

 numbers, affording a plentiful supply of food for the food 

 fish, thus influencing them to stay along the shores, furnish- 

 ing the best of bait to fish with, and rendering the inshore 

 hand-line fishing industry profitable and useful. 



The menhaden fishermen answer: "That is not true, it is 

 impossible. Huxley says man is not a factor, and besides, 

 the bluefish which yotn say used to furnish your shores with 

 'chum,' in the great destruction of the menhaden, ranking 

 the inshore waters of the coast one wholesale baited fishing 

 ground, do not feed on menhaden, nor do they care for them, 

 they seek other food; and therefore if we do drive away the 

 menhaden it in no wise interferes with your fishing inter- 

 ests." Now to this subterfuge we will apply the experience 

 and the observation of disinterested and intelligent men. 

 The menhaden fishing along our coasts amounted to but 

 very little, and its influeuce on the quantities of fish that 

 used annually to visit the coast and was practically un- 

 observable, until after 1866. Before that, for bait^ for ma- 

 nure, and for oil, a little, all of which was insignificant, as 

 compared to the present extended and destructive pursuit. 

 The descovery of a process, by which the oil could be ren- 

 dered valuable and marketable, stimulated the erection of 

 immense factories for this purpose, the first large one being 

 built at Boothbay, in Maine, in 1864. After that the in- 

 terest increased rapidly, it led to the construction of larger 

 factories and of steamers, and continued to grow until it 

 became the vast consolidat* d monopoly you now behold 

 sweeping the coasts from Maine to the Carolinas, from the 

 earliest time in the spring when the waters of our coasts 

 beg^in to get sufficiently warm to induce the menhaden to 

 visit them, striking the first school to be found and repeat- 

 ing the attack on every other school, either capturing them 

 or breaking them up and driving them from the coast, pre- 

 venting those which they do not capture from visiting the 

 inshore waters to spawn, and driving them to sea into the 

 jaws of their larger and fiercer of predaceous enemies, the 

 whale, the shark, the sword fish, the tunny, the bonito, etc., 

 which do not visit our inshore waters. To" such an extent is 

 this done that the inshore waters of our coasts from New 

 Jersey to Maine are practically denuded of the menhaden, and 

 where once we could find myriads of thern, to-day there are 

 none, not even enough for bait. 



For the causes for this result Prof. Baird instituted in- 

 quiries in 1874. He formulated questions applying 10 the 

 then condition of things and sent them to everybody who 

 was supposed to be possessed of powers of observation, of 

 intelligence or experience, including the menhaden fisher- 

 men, and asked for answers to categorical questions. To 

 these he received seventy-eight answers, in whole or in part. 

 To the tenth question, which was practically that which we 

 are now considering, namely, "Does the use of nets, soiues. 

 ete., as now used in catching menhaden, tend to drive tueni 

 from our shore, their usual feeding grounds, spawning 

 grouads, etc." Thirty of the persons answering said "it 

 does drive them away." Sixteen said "they did not think 

 it did," about twenty said "they did not know," and among 

 the thirty were some of the most prominent of the menhaden 

 fishermen. 



If time would permit, and poverty did not prevent, you 

 could have a thousand men of observation and experience 

 to testify to these conclusions. 



It has been my province to have been an amateur fisher- 

 man along our coast waters in the pursuit of the striped 

 basa for the past thirty years for much of the nsjuogseasou, 

 and while the menhaden men were permitted to make 

 their experience the basis of their testimony in their own 

 interest. I think I am entitled, not in my own interest, but 

 in the interest of a suffering and deserving class of poor and 

 needy fishermen, to add my observation and experience in 

 favor of the oppressed as against the strong and the monopo- 

 list. 



That the present practices of the menhaden fishermen do 

 denude our coast and its inshore waters of menhaden and 

 drive them away is as true, if not truer, than the statement 

 of an eminent menhaden man that "bluefish did not feed on 

 menhaden; and that menhaden was not the food of the 

 blueish as such." Thirty years ago, and down consecu- 

 tively to 1869, there was no scarcity of menhaden or any per- 

 ceptible diminutions of their numbers, and the bays, fivers 

 and creeks all along our coast from this to Maine, were full 

 of them every year. Menhaden for bait were easily to he 

 had at any point. Other food fishes which always follow in 

 the wake of the menhaden were also abundant and plenty, 

 and there was no perceptible diminution of the food fishes 

 until the decline of the menhaden. Both declined together 

 until the coast is nearly denuded of all of them, and, to those 

 who have disinterestedly observed, the reason is entirely 

 apparent. The food is gone and the food fishes are gone. 

 Subsistence is the common instinct of nature. Man stays 

 not in the desert if he can get out, the instinct of the fish is 

 no less sharp than in man. 



The destruction of menhaden along our inshore coast 

 waters when they were permitted to visit them as they used 

 to do in such vast quantities, was simply immense. Mil- 

 lions upon millions were slaughtered daily by the bluefish, 

 being simply killed, not devoured but permitted to sink to 

 the bottom, furnishing abundant food for all the food fishes 

 including the lobster, which used to swarm in those waters 

 in almost inexhaustible numbers, and which never became 

 scarce until the menhaden disappeared from those shores. 

 The reason is obvious. The remedy is equally obvious. 

 Man is a despoiler and must be restrained. 



That the evils of this menhaden fishing are not in the 

 least exaggerated, or its disastrous consequences to the in- 

 shore handline fisherman in no sense overdrawn, is evi- 

 denced from the fact that in the towns of Bristol and Bre- 

 men, in Maine, it became such a grievance to the coast fisher- 

 man that it produced a riot, and oil factories were burned 

 up and destroyed as a consequence. The states of Maine 

 and_ Massachusetts have been invoked repeatedly for pro- 

 tection, and have passed such laws as they could on the 

 subject, but having no means of enforcing "theni, little or 

 no good has resulted, and it remains to be seen whether 

 Congress with its sovreign power will do anything to 

 properly protect its defenseless, but deserving citizens. 



In the above plea Capt. Dunning overlooks the fact that 

 the first meeting of the committee was especially set apart 

 for hearing the views of the menhaden fishermen and not 

 for the purposes of argument with them. We have never 



been furnished with the complete notes of their arguments, 

 which, in a spirit of fairness to all, we would have been glad 

 to print. 



At a meeting of the National Rod and Reel Association 

 held in the laboratory of Commissioner Blackford on Satur- 

 day last, the special committee on the menhaden question 

 reported favorably on the resolution of Mr. Endicott: "That 

 a committee be appointed to draw up the protest of this 

 Association against the catching of menhaden, by steamers 

 and other vessels, except under such restrictions as will pre- 

 vent the destruction of food fishes." The report was ac- 

 cepted and the Association voted to appoint such committee. 

 This committee was not appointed, however, before the 

 meeting adjourned. Capt. Dunning introduced a much 

 stronger resolution, which called out considerable debate 

 and was lost when voted on. 



RAISING DIAMOND-BACK TERRAPIN. — A corres- 

 pondent wants information on this subject, and we would 

 be glad to publish any facts connected with it. We have 

 read newspaper accounts of "terrapin farms," but they were 

 of doubtful origin. We know that when penned up the 

 terrapin loses flesh and does not bring a good price, but 

 beyond this we know of no one who has made a business of 

 cultivating the animal, and in fact have inclined to class 

 the stories referred to with the marvelous "frog farm" which 

 turns up in the daily press every year, but always in a 

 different locality.

BOSTON DOG SHOW. 



Boston, Mass., April 3, 1888. 



The fourth annual dog show of the New England Kennel 

 Club commenced to-day under favorable auspices. 

 There are 1051 dogs entered and the absentees t re few. The 

 weather has been delightful and the building has been 

 thronged with visitors. The quality in many of the classes 

 is fully up to the average of last year, an I 'in some it is 

 superior. The St. Bernards especially are a wonderfaly 

 fine collection. The judging began at 11 o'clock and has 

 progressed rather slowly, sever.il classes not being judged at 

 dark. The arrangements are very similar to those of last 

 year, and the management under Tall man is all that could 

 be asked. Following is a list of the awards so far as made 

 to-day :
