One of the articles of food most prized by the Chinese on tho Pacific coast is dried duck. An American, in Contra Costa Co., California, has started a duck-drying business, and has a monopoly of the Chinese trade. He buys hundreds of ducks from hunters, fills them with salt, and hangs them in the sun for six weeks. They become as hard as sole leather or dried codfish, and will keep indefinitely. The ' Californian Chinese used to import their , dried duck from China, but now patronise i the home industry almost exclusively. '
