4 HE first number OF this highly mportant
4 and valuable Work, is now ready for deliv
cry to subscribers. We beg leave respectfully
to call the attention of our citizens to the praiss
worthy objects it has il: view, and for the pro-
motion Of which, it has been put in operation.
There has not probably heretofore been q
time when the attention. OF the people of this
country was as much engaged on the subject Of
the Silk Culture as al present. nor a time when
those who have already embarked in this bust.
ness felt such entire confidence, not only that
liberal profits may be derived from it, but
inthrir ability to produce as good Silk as can
be procured in any part ofthe world. 1t is be.
lieved that all that is now wanting to fully es-
tablish 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 of silk, than there is in pro-
curing crop Of grain. The capital thus be.
slowed 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 it their
entire attention. They have made extensive
arrangements for feeding the silk-worm, and
cul,ivating that invaluable species of mulberry,
the Norus Multicaulis. And, from their long
experience in the occupation and extensive corr
respondence with silk growers, they believe
they may say without ostentation, that they
shall be able 10 make the AMERICAN SILK.
