THE AMERICAN
SILK GRO WEIR,

AND ARM ER'S MANUAL. Z,
Emsbeitished 1oith appropriate Engracings.
e HE first number Of this highly Important
.. and valuable Work, is now ready for deliv
erv to subscribers. We beg leave respectfully
to call the attention of our citizens to the praisa
worthy oh, ,ecls it has il, view, and for the pro
moton ot which, it has been put in operation.
There has not probably heretofore been
time when the attention OF the people of this
country was az much engaged on the subject Of
the Silk Culture as a; present. nor time when
those who have already embarked in this busi-
ness felt such entire confidence, not only that
liberal profits may he derived from il, but
in rhcir ability to produce as good Silk as can
be procured in any part ofthe world. II is be-
lieved that all that is now wanting to fully es-
tabsh this grea' interest in this country, with
all its vast advantages, is but the dissemination
OF plain practical information concerning it;
and to convince our citizens of what we know
to be true, viz: that there is no more difficulty
about raising crop ofsilk, than there is in pro-
curing crop OF grain. The capital thus be-
stowed yields far greater return than can be
Obtained from any other branch of husbandry.
The editors have long been engaged in tho
silk culture and intend hereafter to give ttheir
entire attention. They have made extensive
arrangements ICi lCeulHS ouh-WUEui, dIlu
cullivating that invaluable species Of mulberry,
the Norus Mutcauls. And, from their long
experience in the occupation and extensive COR
respomdcncc with silk growers, they believe
they may say without ostentation, that they
shall be able to make the AMERICAN SILK
GROWER useful and entertaining, and to
communicate through its pages information ~
valuable respecting every branch ofthe silk bu-..
sncss as can be elsewhere obtained in the UNI
ted States. A portion Of the work will be devo 2
