"TO FATTEN OYSTERS"
From Housekeeping in Old Virginia, 1887.
"Mix one pint of salt with thirty pints of water.
Put the oysters in a tub that will not leak, with their mouths upwards and feed them with the above, by dipping in a broom and frequently passing over their mouths.
It is said that they will fatten still more by mixing fine meal with the water."
