SPIDER FARMS.

If the silkwo rm disease should assume
a serious phase, would it or would it not
be worth while to try what could be done
towards rearing spiders for their fibrous
product SPIDERS silk is wonderful and
beautiful material when woven it gives
fabric that is described as spun gold and
its strength is prodigious. An inch bar
will sustain weight of twenty eight tons,
while it is computed that a cable of spider
thread one inch in diameter would carry
IA tons. A spider can yield $50 yards of
silk at a spinning-half the length given
by silk worm. But tho worm only gives
its quantum once, whereas the spider will
repeat its yield at intervals of two or three
days for a month or more. when al
lowances are made for the difference of
thickness and weight of the two threads it
is reckoned-by an American naturalist,
whose facts / am quoting-that spider
silk dress would cost two and quarter
times as much as one of worm silk. This
is according to American prices for Or
diuary silk, and these are high compared
to ours. The drawback is that the spider
does not wind its thread the insect has
to be impaled, and the delicate filament
reeled from it. However, this does not
appear to be at all difficult operation,
only several threads have to be drawn
and wound together, as one alone will not
stand the strain.
The spiders can be bred in vast num-
bers if proper precautions are taken to
prevent the old females eating their con-
sorts, and the young ones devouring one
another--two unpleasant habits peculiar
to arachnidian families. One cocoon will
contain from five hundred to thousand
eggs, all of which will hatch the insects
are reared on wire frames and fed on drops
of blood, crushed flies, bugs, or any Other
insects. The rearing flames are stood in
trays Of water to prevent the spiders stray
ing, Perhaps some country gentleman in
want Of novel occupation will set up a
spider farm, and give his experience tc
the world. He might come to be mon,
umented as benefactor to mankind. -
