[Cm- the XNew I wrk Ierahl. ] The spawn of the oyster devel opes in the period of about two years into what the planters tochnis e dlly call "5scod." This "nood" is phited, or rathor seattero(l, along the river bottoms in such places as are selected, and from them the oyster grows. The spawn itself is t0 unsubstantial to ho handled. It floats in tho water until it reachos a congelili1 temperature, when it settles anlrd fastens to the bed. Then it slowly develops until at the end of from eighteen to twenty four imonths it has grown into scores of tiny oysters. Those are the "sed." They are taken up and carried to whatever "groluid," as the river bottom is called, owned or occupied by the oysterman. This process is called transplanting. Hero they are allowed to remain for two, three or five years, as the case may be. when they are taken up and broaght to market. The seed which suIpplies tihe New York dealers i S obtained prinmilpllity 1)fiom naturai bcds in tihe y.tors of Newark Bay and the Hill Voni Kul1). The b ids in Nowark Bay are quito ex - teusive, covering anm area of about four hundred acrOs. wNVIIlRE THEY THRIVE BEST. Oy'steXrs thrive best on ground that is soft aid muddy. On tle chamincter of the soil depends the siz.e anid coIitionl of the oyster. By transplanting dealers are enabled to obtain slow or rapid growth as they desire. On soft soil they grow long aid narrow, but on hard or rocky soil the oystors becomo short ind thick. This :; di I- n is anadntg of by hP.aers,w (0mine bth eloients-. e., after leving tiem for -ia certain length of time in soft soil they transfer tbem to a rctky bed. Iy doing this a full round founi is given to the shell. Tie indiustry, it seems like oti ers, has iis dilhetultics and draw backs. Swne yulrs ie be Is turn out poor :md saulity table supplies. Thro ) ears ago an nmusually bad season prevailed, The growthi lmv t year w.ts excellent, and Po far the prsent year the planters are cheer~ ful. Three causes operato to (lo vastato the yield. The first is tihe vorations drumidish, with its spiked teeth, which crushes the oyster as a squ':-ol doe a nut, Oftentimes w% hole beds are thus dostroyed. The only preventative the plant, ers hr vo is to anchor barrels or boxes to the bed of theo river, leaving them floating about a few foot from thme bottoi. These act as a sort of' pieultural scarcerowv, frighiteninug tho drumuish away. Shoiuld the oysters bie saved froin the fish they havo still another enemy and] otontimes a more dan. gerous one in the nmussels, which fasten uponm thoan liko barnao'es and smiother them by closinmg the shells firmly together'. The mussels, however, are short lived, and( whon they do not COmoi inl largo herds they prove benoficiaul rather than injuriouis, as theOy enrich tho msoil andl pr'omnot the oysters growth. A third evil somnctimnos occurs in1 shifting beds. Not unfrequontly it happens that large quantities of oysters are badly shifto'd fron1) one planter's ground to tha~t of another. For this there is no r~emedy, the planters bejng unable to identify their property fron) that of their neighbor. This shifting, it has beoen noticed, occurs only after violent storms, which disturb the river's bed. Hmow BEDS ARIE PRE-EMPTED.

By looking at the shell oystormon ire enabled to toll not only the ago of the bivalve, but also frequontly the particular bed from wljoh it caio. The best oysters are said to be thoso about two years old. At that age they are very tender. The bluo points, which are the most expensivo, are taken from natural beds in the great South Buy. They are not trans planted. A visit to the dopot of Alexander Fraser, another large planter, was next imado and the peculiarities of the bivalve uider difforent circun staicos learned One curious fact was narrated. The oyster opens its shell only during flood tide, and after it has been brought to markot, often miles away fromn the water, it ili;riatbly openls its shell whon the tido is at flood. Another f'oyster market," where wholesalo tcoalei s havo their depots, is at tile foot of Wost Tenth street, where James A. W.
