In the Senate, the most important matter
was the communication of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in answer to the resolution Of
MIR. Rives, calling for information respecting
the fiscal relations that subsist between the
Bank of the nited States and the govern

SILK CULTURE.

From the Journalof the American Silk Society.
SILK cULTURE,--THE PAST AND PRESENT.
'Lfhe business of silk making be praeti
cable IL, this country, why haze all our a.
,emp.s to introduce it heretofore failed"
The above is the essential oil of al! the ar.
suments used by the very few opponents Of
the silk cause in this Country; and we design
answering the question with such facts and
arguments as will, We hope, convince al!
persons that the failure Of the silk business
heretofore, is fairly attributable to other
causes than its impracticabilty or unpro.
fitableness.
The grand cause of all failures hereto.
fore, was the want Of judicious provision
of mulberry trees, before attempting to feed
worms. We have always heretofore begun
a. the wrong end of the business. We
have procured supply Of eggs, Matched
worms, and erected failures, before we
planted mulberry trees, depending upon the
nativc mulberry of,he wild woods for sup.
ply Of food for the worms !; and the conse-
quence was, as might well have been eY-
pected, complete and entire failure. In
l770, when society was formed in Phila-
delphia, composed Of three hundred and
forty fue of the mos, respectable gcnlemen
of that city, with the governor John Penn,)
at their head, the first thing they did was to
publish Directions for he breeding and man.
agement of Silk Worms ); and the next thing
was the erection of 6la,ure for reeling
silk. From all we can learn, they expec.
ted to depend upon the Wild woods for the
supply of mulberry leaves. 1t is true, they
published aletter from DR.. Franklin, in
which he urges them to encourage the plan.
ting of mulberry trees. IT, says the Doc.
tor, some provision were made by the as
| sembly, for promoting the growth of mul.
berry trees in all parts of the province, the
culture ofsIk mig ght afterwards follow easily !;
for he great discouragemcnt to the breeding
worms at first. is the difficulty Of getting
leaves, and the being obliged to 90 far for
thcm.' To this sentence Of true franklin
ian common sense, the society appended
the following note. $ 1t was :hought tha,
the intention would be more effectually an.
swered by giving the premiums and boun-
ties on the silk raised, than on the trees
planted for the experience of neighbour
ing government shews, that bounty on

Agricultural Papers.

Judge Price, in his Agricultural Repor.
to the Legislature of New Jersey, remarks,
" As means of improvement your Com
mittee beg leave 10 recommend more
general circulation and perusal ofperiodical
publications, expressly devoted to the sub
ject ofagficulture. There are, in our coun.
try several Of these, which have justly ac.
quired high reputation for the ability with
which they are conducted. They collect
and embody large amount of useful in
formation, which cannot be acquired IN any
other mode. They would afford to the
farme, the means Of occupying his leisure
hours both pleasantly and proftably, and
almost amply repay all the cost OF
their procurement Very few, it is believ.
ed after fair trial, would willingly forego
the company of these quiet, yet instructive,
y:siters."

Profitable Breed Of swine.

A few weeks since we gave, from the
kennebeck Journal, the dimensions Of On
extraordinary pig Of the Bedford breed,
owned by Mr.. J. w. Haynes, OF Hallowell,
Maine. By a communication of Mr.. H.
on the advantages ofthis breed of swine.
lately published in the Maine Farmer, and
from which we make the following extracts,
we perceive that the pig alluded to has been
slaughtered. His dressed weight. at nine
months old, was three hundred and two
pounds! The manner Of keeping and fat.
tening this pig will be found below.
After giving some extracts to shew the
estimation in which this breed is held in
Massachusetts and elsewhere, Mr.. H. says,
"Since have had them have found them
TO fully sustain the reputation given to them
by breeders in Massachusetts. They are
very small boned in proportion to the size
quiet, easily fattened, do much better on
raw food than any other kind, and obtain a
good size at an early age.
