Silk Culture.

Mrs Z. B. johnson, in Neic Orleans Times.
see in the Sunday Times OF the
10Th inst, some inquiries in regard TO
the cultivation of silk in Louisiana.
AS | have been interested in this
business, having had some experience
in the rearing Q; the silk worms, ana
knowing it to be profitable am
really glad to see that the attention
of our people IS attracted oft. AS

stated that he had vacant lots which
he would like to make useful, ven
ture to advise him to plant them at
once in the mulberry of the naorets
maulticaalis and the noyus alba spe.
cies. All kinds OF mulberry thrive
we'll in our climate, and none grow
more finely than the two species
mentioned above.
AS the cultivation of the tree for
feeding the silk worm is compare
lively new in this State, we may
perhaps do we'll to copy the method
of planting adopted as the best in
California, where the business is eX-
tepsively and successfully carried on.
Mr.. Louis Provost, the pioneer
silkenculturis. of that State, says
that" the trees should be kept low
and bushy, so that the shoots can DE
cut off conveniently by hand. The
trees grow readily from cuttings. IL
is customary TO plant i'll rows. w hen
from two to five years old they may
be thinned out and thrown away, or
1ransplanted if larger plantations
are desired. A large supply OF
leaves are obtained i'll this way,
while the plants are yet young, and
this will enable one to commence
rearing the worm six months after
the planting oil the tree. The cut
tings should be made with three
eyes each. The ground should be
well culti, ated and kept clear OF
weeds.
Planted in this way a ton OF leaves
can be gathered the first year from
the acre, and about thirty tons the
second year. The leaves on tree
or branch should not all be picked
off, at least three should be left at
the end or top. In proper soil
and favorable season the tree will
in ten days have as many leaves as
it had before it was plucked. A
moist soil such as we have in Louis
lana is necessary to start the cut
tings, and when the tree is three
years Old, it will stand the water al
well us the willow, and will not be
injured by occasional overt1ows.
In this business, as Ill every other
we would advise those who under

The rs n6el 81 SATISFACTORILY eaeds sys-
TEN, the one adopted at Bene Mazar,
and generally in Egypt, is to heat
the juice nearly TO the boiling point,
adding lime until its neutral point is
attained. A thick scum collects on
the surface, and cracks when the
temperature reaches about 2lO0-
that is to say, when incpient ebulli-
ton takes place in spots here and
there. Steam is Immediately shut
off, and the juice is allowed to stand
about forty minutes. During this
time the cake OF scum, which is about
two inches thich, becomes very COM
pact, so that when at last the clear
Juice is suffered 10 run out through a
copper strainer at the bottom OF the
ulanfer, the impurities remain be-
hind, and are thoroughly separated.
Bisulphite of lime is now commonly
used with the same object rs sulphur
GUS acid gas. 1t is added in solution
as soon as possible after the juice
leaves the crushing rolls.
In making inferior kinds OF sugar,
the clarified juice is ran into bat
terry OF open pans, called "taiches,"
the whole apparatus being styled a
copper wall" These pans are heated
by direct fire under them, and the
juice as it concentrates, is Iadled
from one pan to the other. being

from cocoons. There are 125 pupils
at present, all females, who are to
set up as teachers afterwards in
different parts OF the country. The
design is to spread the knowledge of
raising cocoons, and reeling silk as
an occupation for farmers wives and
daughters, and women in the coun-
try generally. The mulberry will
grow wherever all apple tree will
grow.
SILK CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.
A deputation OF ladies from Phila-

climate for rearing the silk worm.

SILK IN EAST FELICIANA.
We understand that several gen

will set ont a large mulberry or

pose of raising the silk worm on a

MULBERRY CUTTINGS
grow freely if planted in December,
January or February. The best
variety to plant for silk worms is
the NoraS Mdticaulis Alba, OF white
mulberry. The black variety will
answer, but does not make as good
a quality OF silk. Persons living in
The vicinity CT an Usage orange
(6piS d Arc) hedge, may commence
the business at once, as it is reported
that the worms flourish and make
good silk when fed on the leaves OF
this plant.
SILK WORM EGGS

prevent Matching out before the null
berry buds swell in the spring. The
young worms should be provided
with an abundance of leaves immedl-

VIM. Willard of Lyndonville, son Of
A. j. Willard, Esq, of this place, met
with quite an accident in Summerville
on Sunday afternoon. 1t appears that
he had driven to Mr.. James Gaffany's,
on Water street, and while in the door
yard sitting in the carriage, the horse
having his head down, stepped upon
the rein as it is supposed, which broke
the bride, when the horse started to
run, overturning the carriage upon the
corner at Portland street and throwing
Mr.. Willard out upon the ground
though not hurting him much. The
horse was soon captured and found
considerably cut about one of its legs
but is now in Mr.. Hugh Moore's stable
and likely to come out all right. The
covered buggy was considerably
demoralized. The team is owned by
Mr.. Mcleod of Lyndonville.
