SILK CULrURE.-Richard Dale, of this city,
has received letter from his sister, Mrs.
Lzwrie. of Santa Clara, who is extensively
interested in silk culture and endeavorirg to
effect its adoption as general industry in
this State, and in which she offers to send to
him an ounce of silkworm eggs, fine French
ANIMALS, to be distributed free to those who
desire them, if sufficient interest is mani
tested upon the part Of Sacramentans to &C.
cept them and experiment for themselves
upon a small scale in silk-growing. There
are about 10000 eggs in an ounce, and the
proposed donation by Mrs. Lawrie would
furnish sufficient to a large number of persons
to enable them to form correct idea of what
is required in sericulture. 1t takes from five
to six weeks for the worms to mature and
spin their cocOons from time of Matching, az
Mrs. Lswris in her letter says: " Remember
that the worms must be fed regularly four
times each day-at 7 and II A. N. and at 3
and P. NJ. and in the last stage at 10 in the
evening. You must never feed them, how
ever, while molting Tor casting their skins).
This they do four times. The first three
times occupy twenty-four hours each,
and the last thirty.six hours. The first mott
ing occurs on the fifth day; the next, four
days later; the third, six days later, and the
fourth seven days afterwards" The food for
silk worms is of course the mulberry leaves,
OF which there are numerous trees in this
city. Now all who desire to make an expert.
mental test Of silk culture. and would like to
raise small family of silk worms, can, by
leaving their names to-day or to morrow with
Mr.. Dale, on j, near Seventh street, be fur
tity. He will send to Mrs. Lawris for them
as soon as the number wanted is ascsrtained.
