FROM THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
SUGGESTIONS ON THE CULT
URE OF SILK

. Mr.. FEssENDEN-Should You consider
the following suggestions worthy Of pub
lie consideration, you may give them q
place in the New England Farmer.
1t must be peculiarly gratifying to eve
ry patriot, to witness the increased atten-
ton, to the various branches of DOMESTIC
INDUSTRY:
Not only are greater and increased en-
couragement given to those branches al
ready in exercise, but new, various and
public sources of domestic industry, are
daily developing; among which the grow
ing and manufacturing of silk, is not Of
the least Importance. Since the power
loom and spinning jenny have deprived the
female part the community Of an i'm
portant branch ofindustry, it is desirable
that some other should be substituted.
congenial to the capabilities and habits Of
that fairer part of the community.
The growing and manufacture of SILK.
is branch of industry considered pecul-
iarly adapted to the capacity and manage
ment Of females. 'f[
The best means, then, Ia introduce this
branch Of industry and make it popular
with the ladies', ought to be brought into
exercise. Much has been said and writ
ten of late, in favor ofthe extensive cult
ure and manufacture of silk; and although
it has been demonstrated, that silk can be
successfully cultivated in all parts of the
United States, no QUO has attempted 10
point out the best method of introducing
this important branch of domestic indus
try among the people. 1t is, in the first
place, necessary that the best skill and
methods Of producing the raw material,
should be impaired to every section Of Our
country, in the best practicable manner;
and in the next place that it should be
made desirable and popular employ
ment for our females; and il never canbc
brought into favor with the fairer part of
the community, till our ladies', who are
best informed, will heartily engage inoit,
and by their example acknowledgement,
bring it into general favor 20 90 fIIs asr
