OYSTERETTES WELL BRED
By A. R. GROH.
"Mum as an oyster" is an apt ex-
! pression, tor an oyster opens its
mouth only twice every twenty-four
hours, and then only to take food.
,',. I get this information from David
! Cole, who has been intimately ac-
miaintH with mnre nvsters than anv
joincr man in umana.
,,4. , More oysters are eaten in Novem
.,, ber, December and January than in
j-r all the rest of the year," said Mr.
,' Cole. "Omaha eats an average of
MM) era Inns a week rinrinff the K
montns.
"The oysters you eat have been
from three to1 six years in growing.
'Standards,' or small oysters, used
a'for stews, soups, scallops or cock
tails, are about 3 years old. . 'Selects,'
, for eating raw or frying, are from 3
i'fto 5 years old. 'Counts,' for frying,
5 1 are S to 6 years old."
ii Mrs. Oyster does not shirk mater
Unal duties. She lays from 1,000,000
j? to 25,000,000 eggs. These rise to the
!.iurface of the water, where they
'gather certain hard substances, the
Jj weight of which sinks them,
'i i The Death Gamble.
? This is a critical time in their
i: 'youK lives. If they alight in the
mud they smother to death,. If they
t tahght on some hard substance they
; take hold and remain there the- rest
fiof their days. For the oyster is no
5 gadabout. J n fact, it never moves,
r for the simple reason that it can't.
Millions of old oyster shells are
! -"planted" every year in the oyster
i tbeds to provide something for the
i young oysters to hang on to.
! The starfish is the oyster's greatest
j enemy. It lies in wait before its vie-
turn till the oyster opens its mouth
s for food. Then zip I irl goes the
.starfish's iword, killing poor little
v Willie Oyster and preventing him
, from ever taking a trip to Omaha or
anywhere else.
AnotheY enemy is a little "borer"
-. 'that bores through the oyster's shell.
i out tne oyster, wnen this tiny drill
'comes through, forms a hard tub
stance around it which foils the
a ;"borer." When a grain of sand gets
j inside an oyster'i shell it forma this
hard substance around the land.
j unus a pearl is formed.

The eastern coast of the United
States is by far the greatest oyster
producing art in the world. A few
hundred thousand bushels are gath
ered on the Pacific coast and about
2.000,000 bushels on the gulf coast. In
Europe there are oysters from Italy
to Norway, but they are much in
ferior in size and taste to the Amer
ican article.
The courage of "the man who ate
the first oyster" has often, been
lauded. We don't know when he
lived. Oysters have been eaten for
many centuries. Julius Cacsai' Drob
ably ate them, judging by the way he
put an r into tlie name of each
month when they are good and left
it out of those months when they are
not good.
Frank Judson, Howard ' Baldrige
and George Kelly arc prominent
among Omaha oyster-lovers.
