PROPAGATION OF THE SILK-WORM
The propagation ofthe sik-worm, and
the manufacture of silk, has excited a
good deal of interest inthis country, since
the exhibition ofthe handsome specimens
Of Maj. Bingham and Mr.. Gillespie, al
the late fair in Goshen.--Curiosity, and
desire to CRAFTY the public, have led
me to make some inquiries into the sub.
ieot. have visited Maj. Bingham, and
the following information is principally
obtained from the different members oil
his family.
Nothing can be done in the manufac-
ture of silk, without the ieaUes Of she
White Mulberry Tree. For although
the worms will cat other leaves, they ne
yer make silk unless fed on these alone,
the trees may be propagated by the seed,
or by plants from the nursery. They
thrive hest in sandy loan. am told
that the plants may be procured in album
dance, from the state Of Connecticut,
where many families make considera.

PROPOSALS,
BY JoHy n. GUY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI,

Also, the best system extant for Light H.
fantry and lsifemen. Published for the use

Collected, extracted, revised and corrected.
from Col. e. X. Gardner's Compentl of the
United States System, by John II. Guy, Ma
Jor in the first Regiment Missouri Militia,
formerly of the United States Army.
The necessity and Importance of having a
uniform system ftactics for the Militia of the
frontier states, and the entire want of such a
system, has induced the publisher to UNDER
take the formation of work, that would be
plain and short, and at the same time contain
every thing necessary for the Militia to be
taught. The formation of the work has been
completed with much labor and expense.
Every exertion has, and shall be used to make
the work valuable and usefulto the states. 1t
has been examined and highly approved by
some OF the first military men in these states,
and IN the United States. Its expected that
the book WILDE completed and ready for de-
livery to subscribers by the first Of August,
1928.

Bingham planted aquantity Of seed about
fourteen years ago. The trees should
Judge are now twenty feet high, and the
tops are spread something like an apple
tree. The business may be commenced
on a small scale, when the trees are
quite young. In the beginning OF July
soon after the worms have completed
their balls of silk, those intended to fur
nish the next years supply OF worms, are
placed BY themselves on a sheet OF brown,
or other paper, in the room where they
are kept. In few days the worms will
crawl out of the balls and assume the
form of a miller, but they never lily nor
crawl from the paper. They remain
here together short time. When The
females deposit their eggs and die. One
will deposit at least FIVE hundred eggs,
which are about the size OF mustard
seed. The eggs adhere TO the paper
and remain in that condition unll the
following spring. They should be kept
from the air and frost, as much as posi-
ble---say in warm cellar, or between
folds of linen. When the leaves begin
10 shoot out and the weather becomes
warm in the month OF May, the paper
with the eggs, is to be brought out, and
exposed to the sun and ARA very
small insect will soon be discovered in
The place of the egg. Soon after they
are patched, they are to be returned in
the house, and few leaves placed i'm
mediately within their reach, they CONT
nue. togrow for about four weeks, when
they will be nearly or quite two inches
long--during the four weeks they are
growiDg,they shed their skins three or Tour
Zines, and continue to devour an aod1-
tional quantity OF leaves as they increase
in size. AS they arrive at their foil
growth, which will be about the middle
or latter part of June, they begin TO zrind
their balls of silk, and SO rapid Is this
labor performed by The worms, that in
about three days from the time they be-
gin 10 spin or wind, the ball is finished
the fibres Of silk as spun by the worms,
are very strong, SO that they seldom
break in rceling, and yet they are as fine
as persons hair. The balls are either
of yellowish or blueish white, from an
inch to an inch and half long, the worm
being so contracted as to be completely
enveloped in the ball. AS soon as they
complete the winding, those balls intend
ed for silk, must be exposed TO warm
suD---this kills the worms contained IN
them. The process of getting the silk
from the ball must be attended 10 with
out delay, while The dead worm IS still in
the ball, and before it causes disagreea-
bic smell The balls are 10 be thrown
into a. kettle or tub Of hot water-,hey
are then TO be stirred round with a small
brush, until the loose iuz which adberes
o he outside Of the ball is gathered on
the brush. The end Of the flores OF silk
is then to be sought for and reeled off,
It may b spun at leisure. The insects
remain II the eggs from July till May
hey hatch, grow, make the silk, deposit
their eggs, and die all in about six weeks.
