ONIONS TO PRESERVE FISH 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In the May issue of Forest and Stream, 
under “Just Forest and Stream Folks,” I 
saw a letter asking for a different way of 
preserving fish besides putting them in 
brine or smoking them. In several outing 
trips I have used a method which I have 
found very good. 
Fry the fish in the regular way and when 
they are crisp enough to eat take an earth¬ 
enware jar and put in a layer of fish and 
slice up onions over them. Then put in 
another layer of fish and repeat until all 
the fish are used. After that take half 
water and vinegar and boil it, and pour 
this over the fish until they are covered. 
Evanston, Ill. Paul Bergman. 
ORDINARY SALT WILL'DO IT 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I saw J. H. H.’s plea for enlightenment 
concerning the preserving of fish, and so 
thought I would tell how the mackerel are 
often preserved down here. In the fall 
the small mackerel run up the Acushnet 
river in large schools and everyone turns 
out to enjoy the sport. Thousands are 
caught every day, so many that there is 
hardly any market for them. 
The fish are split down the back at one 
side of the spine and laid out flat. After 
being cleaned, a layer is laid in a barrel 
and covered with a layer of salt which in 
turn is covered with another layer of fish, 
and so on. During the winter they are 
taken out, washed in water over night and 
then broiled. 
“They can’t be beat” when prepared in 
this manner. It does not differ greatly 
from the brine method and could, I should 
think, be used with any fish. 
Hoping some one can get some satis¬ 
faction from this— R. L. Robinson.

HOW TO CATCH BEAVER 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Please answer through the columns of 
your magazine, how to take beaver alive 
for transplanting purposes; also, what time 
of year is best for taking them?

“WOOD AND WATER” 
The stools and the cracker boxes, nail 
kegs and such like are all occupied by the 
mourners of “Isaac;” for today is opening 
day for trout, but the ground is covered 
with snow and the air has a chill that goes 
through one in a very unpleasant way. 
Many are the stories that are told of the 
good olden days, and the number of trout 
caught then. One man for thirty-five years 
caught one thousand each year, and one 
year caught fifteen hundred. Then there 
were seven trout fishermen, and today 
there are seventy, or nearly that. 
For a number of years the low water in 
the fall, and the netting, has depleted our 
streams of the once gamey fish. Each year 
for a number of years the streams have 
been stocked with “fry,” and yet the fish¬ 
ing has not improved. The writer believes 
that if one-half of the number had been 
three or four inches long, it would have 
been far better. Ned Nel Turc.
