The MASSACHUSETTS SP Y ‘ for J77^.
THE public were advertised in
the lupplement of Mtflrs. Edcs anJ
Gill’s Gazette, of 15th August 1768, that
a gentleman in Boston had depofued 100
Dollars in the hands of the Seledt-Men of
this town, to be by them distributed as pre
miums to encourage the raising of Mulber
ry trees in this province, in the following
manner, viz. “ To the petfon that (hall
have railed from the feed, the largt?ft num
ber of Laid trets in the fall of the year 1771*
being two years and five months old at
least, forty dollars; to the person who shall
have raised the next greatefl quantity, thirty
dollars; to the person taifing the next larg
est number, twenty dollars, and to the per
son who shall have raised the next greatest
quantity, ten dollars, provided certificates
arc brought from a Justice of the Peace, as
certaining the number a«d age of said trees;
and that the persons receiving these premiums
give the SelcA-Men their several obligations
to spare to any inhabitants of this province,
applying within eighteen months frorn the
date thereof, ten trees at least,
pence lawful money per tree, until they
have parted with one half of the treeV&c#,:,
tioned in the refpe£live certificates.” n*
greeable to the foregoing advertisement the
sele£t-Men after examining and compar
ing the certificates which have been trans
mitted to them, have adjudged the firft
premium to Mr. Loammi Baldwin, of Wo
burn ; the second premium to the Rev. Mr.
Jason Haven, of Dedham; the to Mr.
John Hay, of Woburn, and the fourth to
Mr. George Sprigs, of Boston: and the
Seled-Men hereby notify them, that they
will be ready at their chamber in Faneuil-
Hall, on the three following Wednesdays,
four o’clock afternoon, to receive their fc
veral obligations and pay their refpe&ivc
premiums, agreeable to the desire and en
gagement of the gentleman who has thus
gencroufly excited the attention of the pub
lic to an article of produce as natural to our
foil as it will be profitable to the farmer,
and which k is hoped will be so encouraged
as in a few years to afford sustenance for
such a number of industrious infers as will
make the article of Raw Silk no inconsi
derable branch of export from this pro
vince.
By order of the Seltft-Merty
WILLIAM CQOPW, Town Clerk.

\& Betides the tryes rtifed by the persons
above named, many thouland have been
raised by those who were not intitled to the
bounty, the trees not being of the age pre
fcr-Mfcd in theßdveitifemcnt, though now fit
to be tranfpTanted; and if the farmers
in the neighbouring towns are made ac
quainted, a confidcrablc number would
doubtless meet with a quick sale. The
Mulberry-tree as Dr. Eliot in his eflays up
on Field Husbandry observes, is of the
qu.ckcft fourth, is durable as red ceder,
and may be-used for (hip timber, window
frames,gate pofis,&c. and is very fit for chest
of draws, desks, tables and other joiners
ware. If these trees are principally intend
ed to produce food for the silk worms, it is
best they lhould be planted in badge rows,
as the leaves may then be gathered by wo
men and children. *— •

A MERICAN INK-POWDER
** * experienced and found to be equal,
if not superior to any imported. The ex
cellent qualities of this powder are, that
it makes the best black writing-ink, and
is very convenient for gentlemen, mer
chants, attornies and others that travel,
it being not cumbersome and liable to those
mischances that other ink it. The ink
may be made in large or fmali quantities,
as is mod convenient. As freezing is pre
judicial to ink, when the weather is cold
tbit may be made with a little brandy or
other spirits not liable to freeze. One
quality peculiar to this ink is, that though
the writing beexpofed to extreme wet, it
alters not, but will remain as long as the
paper endures. This powder decayeth
not by keeping. Note, the above pow
der haa an ingredient in it that prevents
ink from becoming thick and mouldy.
Any person by applying to Ann Nor
ton, nearly opposite the Poft-Office, in
Bc/ion t or Samuel Norton, the ma
ker, in may be supplied with a
ny quantity of said powder, as low by the
groce, as can be imported, and the fmal
lcfl favour in this way will be most grate
fully received.
