AMRRIcaN SlLK.-A work on this sub

HoMERGUE g. PETER 3. DU PoNCEAU Esq
of Philadelphia It's title is, Essays on
/ american Six and tie best means Of rsG
de,Tng il a source Of mdiOiduaI and Ha-
tioaal Cealh.
These Essays prove, conclusvely, that
this country IS peculiarly adapted to the
culture of SIX. The experiments made
/ by Mr.. ID Homergue produced result
no less surprising TO himself, than the IN
itelligence will be grateful to our farmers
and planters. He has ascertained, satis.
actorily, that the cocoons spun by the
silk worm Of the United States, arc super
ior TO those of Europe, in the quality, aud in
the quantity, of Silk which they evolve.
The extreme fneness Of the silk which he
extracted from American cocoons, struck
him very forcibly, and he does not hesitate
to say, that this quality would secure for
it decided preference in the markets OF
Europe, over that of other countries. In
the quantity Of Silk extracted from our
cocoons, the superiority over the European,
is remarkable. To illustrate this, we ex-
tract from Mr.. ID. Homsrgue's second ex'
pertinent: "eight ounces Of cocoons, with
''their chrysalides not selected or picked,
produced two ounces raw silk of the ilrst
equality. 1t would require more than one
pound Of European cocoons, 10 produce
"the same result" We esteem these dis
coveries to be among the most important
in our agricultural history The expert.
ments we're made by Mr.. ID Homergue,
who is a gentleman Of liberal education,
aud ofample experience 10 the manufacture
Of silk. and they are confirmed to US, by
Mr.. Du PonCeau, whose name is high on
( the scroll of scientific reputation, has ever
been associated with public utility.
The knowledge ofthese facts cannot be
too generally diffused, nor sufficiently ap.
preciated. But whilst we are not yet pre-
pared, in this country, for the manuiac-
ture of silk, how can the rearing Of silk
worms be rendered Immediately profitable!
This may be effected to an extraordinary
degree, by preparing Ra'O SIX, as MGR
chantable commodity, in the same way,
that we make and sell RalO Cotton. Il
will be found 10 be much more profitable
than the culture Of cotton, and the market
for II, quite as certain. For this object,
1t is necessary that failures or establish
ments FOR reeling nix, be erected at certain
places, where cocoons may DO manipulated
into Rav SIX. We cannot doubt, if this
were once accomplished, that cocoons
would be raised in great quantities by our
enterprlslng citizens; because these tia
lures would be ready market for all that
