The following Is eAHact from a letter Of Mes
srs. Gibbs x Son, Of Tfo, \. y, TO the Editor of
the tennessee Farmer. Messrs. q. x S have de
voted themselves TO the cultivation OF The Mofus
Muticaulis, and have 4 cocooDery: ali ts no more
10 cultivate acre OF land with the mulberry than
with corn. II each farmer would devote only one
acre Of land to the Morus Multicaulis, II would
yield him from 100 10 300 lbs sllh year, in pro
portion TO the fidelity With winch the cultivation aud
feeding is performed; but assuming tho lesser guam
tity 200 lbs, from acre, 1t would yield the cul-
tivator greater proht than any other produce from
the soil Ii the farmer eau be induced to believe
these estimates couetl he wall not lal to com.
mence with the Mofus Mutcaulls; aud we have
estimates OF this description so Often repeated and
from sources thai ought not to he doubted, that we
eau hardly question but that The farmers will wish to
embark ~ ih's enterprise II they can know where the
best Kind Of Morus Mulucaalis be found. Ii is
truly scarce article although many thousands have
been imported aud hundreds Of thousands have been
grown in this country; Yet the demand has not been
supplied, and 1t IS doubtful whether II will be for
some years 10 come. The more that Is known Of ITS
worth. the greater is the demand. Although it
'nultiplies rapidly, 1t cannot keep pace with the
