LETTER FROM L. s. OROZIER.
TROY PLANTATION, March, II, 1851

/
EDITOR SENTINEL:
Dear Sir-Atter this rainy, cold and
annoying weather, we begin ut 'ast har'
rowing of few acres of our poorest land,
reserved for tame grasses. OF course 1t
would be surer to plant them in Octooer'
and it would have heen very much bet
ter to have done our spring sowing one
month sooner, because the rainy season
was the best one we could desire, IT the
seeds had Leen on the ground. But we
are hardly through planting trees ana
could hardly do better The mulberry
trees begin to grow nicely, the cola mas
not, could not burt them. AS Tor the
silkworms, the thermometer for e'sht
DAYS never raised above sixty inside the
cocoon-ry, it fell to fifty, then to forty
and then to thirty-two outside: III these
conditions they lost mary meals. we
fed them only twice and sometimes once
| day instead of four or five, as we would
| have done, had the leaves been plenty,
and the glass to IS to 800. Nevertheless
if our worms reach only the Sd mott this
week, instead of the 4th, they keep their
good appearance and as healthy asst
could be expected. A constant little hre
has been continually kept in tho room
for the purpose of drying the air. but we
did not cause the glass 70 aise above oOo
for because the leaves were growing very
slowly outside and our supply is limited
this year, that we must be careful about
it. When the food is abundant, it is bet
ter to let tho worms grow rapidly. Let
us hone that our unusual temperature
will turn warmer and that in spite OF al
the larva Matched out the 1st, "a ana 81
, of March will bury themselves into their
fine silk the 81 of April. We have plant
ed several varietie OF American Crane
vines, and some from the warhest VINE
urotluciny Countries of Europe, such as
Alicante, Malagacte brought from France
by Mr.. Laynanl, my c"-lahorer sue
cess is to be desired in this line OF bllsl
; ness too, as it would become capita
!, attraction for the kind of people We
would like to see casting themselves II
our midst. o,,,,p
