There has not probIbly heretofore been q
time. when the at,entiol oil the people Of tllis
country was as much ehgaged Oh the subject Of
the Silk Culture as at present; nor time when
those who have already embarked in this busi-
ness lelt such entire c&'tidence, not only that
liberal profits may Pie derived from it, bu
in their ability to prodcc as mod Silk rs cGa
be procured in any PIT cfthc world 1t is be-
lieved that ali that is ipw wanting % fully c.
tablish this grea' inle fst in this country, with
all its vast advantage IS but the dissemination
of plain practical lfmmatlnn concerning it;
and to convince our dt,zeilS of what we know
to be true, viz: that tleTe is 10 more difficulty
about raising crop silk, than there is in pro-
curing a crop of grail. The capital thus be-
slowed yields far gHutcr return than can be
obtained from any oAer branch of husbandry.

silk culture, and intead hereafter to give it their
entire attention. Tfy have made extensive
arrangements for f&ding the silk-worm. and
cultivating that inval liable species of mulberry,
tile Morus Multicauis. And, from their long
