tised in Yorkshire, and all Fisk Curers are earnestly
recommended to adopt it, as nothing will so certainly
tend to ensure their lish taking in the Spanish market,
which will amply repay them for any trifling additional
expense to which they may be put at first by making
proper provision for it. The Yorkshire Curers use flakes
of wood, raised on posts three feet high, of such length
as may he found most convenient, and about four feet
wide. These are constructed at top with a platform of
cross bars, placed six inches assunder, on which the fish
are to be laid. The greatest possible advantage is de¬
rived from these flakes, and it is the earnest desire of
the Board of Fisheries to see them brought into universal
use among Fish Curers, as they are far superior to any
stony beach whatsoever, howsoever favourable for the
purpose. The great advantage of the flake is, that it pre¬
serves the fish clean, and owing to the current of air pass¬
ing underneath, the drying process goes on simultaneously
below as well as above ; and it prevents all chance of the
fish being sunburnt, blistered, or scalded, when first laid
out, as frequently happens when they are placed on a hot
stony beach in a warm day. But when a stony beach
is to be used, the greatest care should be taken not to lay
the fish down when the stones are too warm from the
heat of the sun, otherwise they will certainly get sun¬
burned, and no subsequent care will be successful in
curing them properly. In all cases, whether the flake
or the beach be used, great care must be taken not to
expose the fish to a powerful sun for the first few days,
and that they be not dried too hastily, otherwise they
will heat, become brittle, and loose from the skin, and ap¬
pear as half roasted, and so be unsaleable. At first
they should be laid on their backs ; but towards night
they should be laid back upwards, in small heaps or
