In Japan this way of fishing has been practiced merely for economic pur* phsos, not for sporting ones as it wus in Kngland, says Kiyosld Sakamoto In an article in Couritry Life. Its orlrfi^ hero dates, indeed, from as far butfc as GOO B, O.'; that is conclusively proved by the "uta" composed by very early Japanese poets.1 In ancient times civilization came into Japan from China, but I think this utilization of the "feathered fishers" must have been exported, on the contrary, to the middle kingdom, for there is documen tary evidence in China to show that It was first practiced there early in the sixteenth century. In Japan t.hls practice has been safe ly handed down to the present day, protected by the law laid down by Iyeyasu (the- first Shogun of the Tokugdwa dynasty), that prohibited anything that would be likely to hinder the practice of the fislilhg. There is another reason why the operation, though primitive In Its way. is atll' curried out in our country. The bird has by instinct the faculty of choosing the fish which are the best as table delicacies. The fish caught by the. cormorant are far moro delicious than [those secured by any other method. The imperial'' household department, with a view to protecting this' old practice of fishing, pay's now 123 yens or 20 yen per year as pension *\o tllo professional fishers, and offers-them free access to the dead pine trees in the imperial forests as fuel for the braziers. The cormorant is chiefly used in Ja i pan to catch ayu (literally, "fragrant fish"), which is a kind of swqet fish, and la known to. ichthyologists as piecogioSSUS 'atttveils Ti and S. Some of them measure more- than al foot in length, but generally 6 or T Laches. The season for the fishing la fronfMay | to October, during/-which ittine rivers are visited by the sum It migratory 'fish. As to the ayu, Mr. C. Ingram states: "The Japanese*epicures praise thelayu ver^y hTghTy as a table delicacy, though it must be admitted that the uneducated occidental palate usually fall**^tfr-d?tect Its culinary merit*; In fact, when I tasted .it I thought It compared rather unfavorably with the smelt, a fish It superficially resembles." I am told that a great number of the ayu caught In {he ftlyer Nngara arc sent every summer to* the ; Imperial household through the local governor, as boiled ayu Is one of the Mikado's favorite dishes. Birds Not Hard to Train. The cormorant (the best species for the .purpose is phalacrocoraz caplllat 18) Is apparently, ngt very hard, tfl train. The' young bird is caught in Winter, and is said to be entirely tamed in two weeks. It takes, however, just two years to enable It to render satis factory services to the keeper. While the bird la being tamed; the keeper binds its beak with a cord, so th^t it may not hurt him.We learn that it was formerly the custom In England to carry the bird hooded till it could be used for fishing, by. which means it was kept quiet. - The operation ia usually carried out on dark nlgbta, as the birds can do no good on brfght> V ' ' . i M .'?? ? ? . - i' '? . V. moonlight ouch, for the 11*1 cnn clearly see the enemy, and, moreover, tin' braxlers, which are Intended to attract the fish, are of no avail. The fishing boat (s very much like the Venetian gondola! and carries four fishermen, one rif whom stands on the how using 12 carriYorants, another in the middle using four birds, and the remaining two control the boat with pplos. Generally one cormorant catches seven or eight ayu every time. How the Fishing Is Done. To begin with the fishermen take the *1)1 rds out one by one from the cage and put round the neck a siuull metal ring, which pressed a part of the gullet so that aiiy llsh (except tiny ones) swallowed may not reach the bird'* stomach. Then they attach a long .string to the bird, which they hold In the JlKptf. During the fishing season the b\*ds nre.never fed in. the daytime so as to enable them* to pursue the fish with furious activity owing to hunger, which is. appmsed by tiniest lishes 1 swallowed upright, as the band ts I loosely fastened. It roquires, Indeed, /rent skill and.dexterity on the part of tin* fishermen to control the cords with out getting hopelessly entangled. He must, moreover, entourage Llie birds' movements and anxiously watch them, for when (hey have completely tilled their gullets they swim idly upon the surface. It is almost incredible to >vho liayq n,ot.,^een tj^v WPcr^<*i wlmt activity the bird displays under water in quest of its prey,- and In a shallow part of the river a fish rarely escapes the bird's keen eyes and sud-i den tUrns, unless it takes refuge sun der a stone or in the mud. The bird then returns to Its keeper, and a tittle manipulation of Its neck effects the delivery of the booty. It may then bo let loose again to recommence its thank lens task. Generally five or seven of the fish ing boats are at work in company, milking a lino that usually extends across the river. The fishermen's ttofcphes inulw the scene so bright that Ota*? would think the river was on fire, and it is sometimes full of boats with ..spectators, who coma from the neigh jorlng districts to enjoy the picturesque sight as well ?s the evening cool. S Canadian Fox Industry. A very large number of fox skins a^' being taken off by the ranchers of the Chsrlottetown district, writes Consul William A. Pierce, Churlotte town, Prince Edward Island, Canada. This will continue until the end of the kitting^ season in January. The pelf of the Prince Edward Island black fox reaches prime condition for length, luster, and thickness about December . Leading fur buyers of New York and London, who have recently visited the Island, have spoken highly of the ranch-bred fox pelts. Values up to $1,500 have been placed on single skins. * Quite a number of this year's pups will be kept and ranched for another breeding season, bat most of the ranch ers will pelt the equivalent (In num ber; this year's production. Ap proximately $30,000,000 la invested hero in foxes. Few companies or ranch ers ..have paid dividends for two years. The market is still much below prices of former years for breeding pairs.
