Few people are aware of the fuet that Washington is the greatest pro ducing center in the United Slates for smoke I herrin 1. One concern ii'nm turns out J ):,IMI0 of these preserved delicacies cut'll year, sending them nil over the 1 dry. The fish nre caught iu thel'ot iniae from Alexandria down f,,."a distance ,,l about nine miles, be ing taken ill seines. As sooll lis cap tured ilu y are brought to the wharves, where the females, with roes, lire picked out for smoking, the mules be ing disposed of by the ordinary pro cess of salting dow n, after their heads have been cut oil'. The roe h rrings are conveyed to the smoke factory, if such it may be called, which is in the open air. They are immediately denned, sealed and rinsed iu cold water, after which they are soaked for twelve hours in brine that is dense enough to Hunt a potato. Then they nre put into fresh water for a few minutes, being presently taken nut and strung through the gills 011 long sticks. These sticka are extended with the fish dangling fioiu them across the open top of it huge double hogshead without any bottom to it, w hich stands on the ground beneath a shed. Th y are all ready to be smoked now. Howevcr.this part of tin,' work has to be dole' ut ni-dit, because people iu the 11 i Jiborhoo l find it objection able in the day time. So, win n ce ni.'g has arrived, a lire of oak ninl hickory wood is lighted inside of the big hogshead beiu nth t he si rings of dangling herrings. After it has got going well, oak mi I hi"kory sawdust is thrown upon the lluines. 'This pro duces a great deal of smoke, and the men who conduct the operation keep fanning t he embers eouMatitly, adding sawdust from tini'to tun.-, and con tinuing the fanning, while the smoke ascends mid invades with its preserva tive elements the tissues of the lishes.
