Centuries ago William Buckets; a Hol- lander of BierWieh, made the then aston- ishing discovery ,,that salt would pre- serve fish and that salted fish could be packed and exported. Before his thne herrings had to be consumed within a few days of their capture Buckets salt- ed them. In ,1380 'William I3uckels salt- ed tho first hundred of herrings, and, having salted them, he packed them in barrels. This exercise of common sense resulted in a singular development ,of the resources of the country. The Eng- lish fisheries were not as prominent 100 years ago as they aro now, and Hol- land had for a time almost a monopoly of a market which she was able to cre- ate and to supply. Buckeis had not to wait 509 years to have his claim to pub- lic gratitude recognized. Charles V. had it statue erected to tho mackerel salt- er who became the benefactor of his country.
