SILK Culture in the Sout

New York Cotton
\ few months ago an association was
formed in New Orleans for the promo
ton of silk culture. Mrs. johnson. a
lady well known in the literary circles.
and for a long time as one of the best
OF public school teachers. established
herself with a small colony of worms at
the fair grounds, in order to be near
the mulberry trees. which are plentiful
there. Her location there was an ex-
pertinent in behalf of the association
Her stay was short, but furnished en-
couraging data by which TO gauge the
ultimate success Of the association.
To those women who would like to
enter this new field, who have no null
berry trees. we would say that the Usage
orange furnishes substitute for the
mulberry rs food Worms fed on the
Usage orange viii make silk, but not of
as good quality as when fed upon the
mulberry. The work Of setting out
young trees of the white mulberry,
which Is the best variety, should be at
tended to 1t once. so that in the course
of year the worms could feed album
dainty upon the leaves. In this coun-
try the mulberry tree grows so fast that
in one year after planting the careful
farmer can rear bis crop Of worms,
whereas IN France he must wait after
planting five years for his trees TO grow
large enough 10 furnish food for the
silk worms.

AGRICULTURAL.

THE importation Of American lard il
prohibited in Hungary. American pork
and bacon have been prescribed for some
time
TnE greatest blessings come in dis
guise. \ Mississippi planter had ten
acres Of poor cotton washed away, and
the water cutin to = bill and revealed
an old churn with s6, 900 in gold in it.
4 SCIENTIFIC, artistic. agricultural and
industrial exposition IL to be held at Orr
zaba. Mexico, IN November next. The
Quilted States will be well represented,
and Colorado will take this opportunity
to exhibit her products, both mineral
and agricultural.
The Illinois Department of Agricul-
ture reports that the present prospects
indicate but little over three,lourthS OF
an average yield per acre, in the two
most promising wheat counties, while Il
majority OF the counties in the wheat
belt viii not make half an average
crop.
\ MoNGEEL sire of any kind of stock
should never be used. If a farmer l.
not able to purchase n thoroughbred
alone, he should get others to unite
with him and make a Joint purchase,
dividing purchase price and cost Of
keeping. When that is done no neigh
borhood need be without such a sire.
4 CALIFoRNIA man has applied for q
patent for discovery or invention for
cleaning trees and vines Of bugs, flies
and uoxious insects. His invention
consists in boring hole into the heart
of the tree or vine at the base, pourina
quicksilver into ii and then closing it
with putty. He claims chat trees and
vines thus treated are safe from the
attacks of all kinds of insects.
TIM most profitable method ofrearing
cattle is Ia give them all the food they
can digest well from their birth up to
the dav Of their slaughter, ifreared for
bullocks. But if for making oxen and
bulls and COWS for breeding, then feed
no more than to keep them in prime
working and breeding condition. An
OK may be too fat OF too poor for good
work. and 20 may bull to get a flfst-
rate offspring, or i cow TO do well IN the
dairy or as q breeder.
An English agricultural celebrity
has passed away-Mr Henry Stratord,
a gentleman known to every livestock
breeder; Mr. Straford did great service
to Shorthorn breeders by assuming at
his own cost the charge Of the Herd
BooE while it was yet an Improbable
institution After running it for several
years he parted with it to the Shorthorn
society Of Great Britain and Ireland.
The value Of the services ne rendered
to the Shorthorn interest can not be too
highly estimated.
THE Executive Committee of Della
ware State Grange recently caused an
analysis of Fl commercial fertilizer 10 be
made, and finding it TO fall short of
phosphoric acid (ayailable), gave notice
t. the sellers of large quantities of it to
patrons. that they should make up the
deficiency in fertilizers. and an equal
amount additional, or that the Grange,
being an incorporated body, would bring
suit to secure damages The demand
was complied With. putting the equiv6-
lent of a good round sum IN the pockets
