CAPT. ALEXANDER DECLINES II Com

sioner Of Agriculture of North Carolina.
When found. on his farm, three miles dis

telligence that it was the reporters duty and
pleasure to communicate.

of my election. | am surprised, because 1t
was known to some members of the board,
at least. that ! could not accept
And you will decline?'

and | could not think Of leaving my farm
and stock at the sacrifice it would involve.
The department has no better friend. | have
done and will continue to do all that | can to

see a progressive agricultural sentiment In

that end and | shall continue to lalo D.. tor its
accomplishment. Any reasonable sacrifice
| would cheerfully make. but | cannot ac-

Your election, you say, was entirely un-
expected to you"
Yes, | had been talked to on the sub

low my name to 90 before the board.
But, Captain observed our pers stent

capacious stable and stock lot we went, and
saw some fine blooded stock, which We can
not dam and sire off hand. We shall have
something To say about Captain Alexander

CAPT. WADwoRTH'S MODEL FARM.-A
reporter of the Observer made a hurried
visit to Capt. Wadsworth's model farm, near
the city, yesterday evening. Imagine a
three hundred acre garden under the most
skilled and improved cultivation, and the
appreciator of the beautiful In bucolic mat
tiers will have Capt. Wadsworth's farm, and
will furthermore have the evidence of intel
ligent and progressive farming of the high
est order.
Over three hundred acres are in c%ultiva-
ton in corn, cotton and clover, and such
crops we have never seen growing anywhere.
On one lot of t acres, from which was taken
six weeks ago an extraordinary crop of oats,
is growing a vigorous looking crop of corn,
which promises to yield 40 bushels to the
acre. Another 10 acre lot of corn, planted
20, 1000 hills to the acre, is very fine, and
promises 80 bushels to the acre.
The cotton is growing finely and IS well
fruited. A choice and we'll fruited vineyard.
covering five acres and yielding 1900 gallons
of wine, afforded a pleasant diversion. OF
the 20 different varieties of grapes we dis
cussed quite a number, pr%onouncing each
variety the best-in compliment to the
whole-souled host who was present. The
vineyard requires careful working, and, fol
lowing the laws OF compensation, cotton has
been planted in it. Three or four bales OF
cotton will amply pay all the expense of cul
ovation and wine making. Not a sprig OF
grass is to be seen in all this splendid crop.
We have been writing about upland, and
land, a few years ago. classed as worn out.
This high standard of excellence has been
attained by the application Of the simplest
rules of good farming Char OLserrer.

The Philadelphia Press is authority for
the statement that about 90, 900 silk worms
are at work on the farm of Frank Graft. In
Birmingham, Delaware county, Pa. The
worms are In charge of Il young lady lv
ing at Mr.. Graft 5. When the eggs are
Matched the creature is as fine as a hair,
and has to be lifted around with a camel's
hair brush. But they are vOraclous feeders
and it is no light task to keep them supplied
with mulberry leaves. Their growth is very
rapid, in six weeks time reaching their full
size. nearly three inches. When the whole
herd is engaged in feeding, the noise made
bv them is like rain falling on a roof. While
feeding the worm is of a light green color
and as soft as velvet to the touch. Along
the body are nine small breathing holes.
The insects have strong serrated jaws which
soon make their way through a leaf. The
silk while in the worm is a gum which is
exuded in two strands. These unite and
form one thread of silk. The worm in star
ting its COCOON first makes an outer GOV
ering of floss silk. Within this they
spin the silk, bending the head and body
up and down the crossing to every side.
entirely surrounding the body as IA protec-
ton against wind and cold. The intention
for the insect is to make p covering for it
self, and it has little thought Of the tens of
thousands OF gayly dressed women tor Wnom
it is weaving rich and durable attire. The
cocoon made, the worm passes. into a chrys-
ais state and comes forth a moth fly to lay
eggs and die. If the silk grower wants the
eggs he allows the insect to 90 through all
these stages, but if he wants the silk, he
chokes the worm while in the chrysalis
state, for if it is allowed to eat its way out
the thread of the silk is broken and value
less. The chrysalis is killed by heating it
over a fire, or throwing it into boiling
water.
