Miss Martha Hamilton of BirmiDg-
ham township and Mrs. Fo2g of Ken
nett Square, are introducing the work
OF silk culture in Chester county. The
former has some forty Thousand Sorns
engaged in spinning silk coooOns in the
barn of Frank Graf, along the Brandy
wine, above Chsdds Ford. The worms
have been fed on mulberry leaves for
six weeks, the country rouad being
searched for the necessary food, and
now they are engaged in spinning and
winding themselves up in silken web.
When this is fully accomplished the
worm is destroyed by plunging the CO.
coon into hot water and the well is
ready to be unwound and the fine
thread woven into genuine silk cloth.
There Ia said to be q wide field Of in.
dustry and profit for the people OF this
country in the production Of silk in
this manner. A company has been
formed in Philadelphia, which includes
many ladies, whose objso. is the ad-
vaneement Of this industry. Probably
the greatest obstacle is the scarcity of
nulborry leaves, which are essential to
The production of silk, but the trees
could be grown in 3 few years.
