SILK CULTURE IN ALLEN
SILK

Slsit 10 the faFtu OF MI, Cnae. Boftn,
some three miles southeast of town
The immediate object of our visit, was
to take look at the silk worms that
Mr.. and Mrs. Barth are raising and
enquire into their methods, and we
were abundantly rewarded for our
trouble. Arriving at the house we
were cordially welcomed by Mrs.
Barth, who Immediately conducted us
into-what would be a good name for
the place where the worms are kept?
Whatever you name it, that is the
place where we were taken,-a light,
warm room, with shelf-like racks on Ell
Their side, from ceiling to floor, in which
were a dozen or more square frames
covered with muslin and strewed with
Usage orange leaves, OIL which were
feeding Al, 900 silk worms. The sight
was an entirely new one to US, and, AS
correspondent remarked last week,
1--WE asked questions like a boy at a
ciicus." Without giving all these ques-
tons or the answers to them, We may
state the main facts learned, about as
follow: One ounce u eggs, costing
lis, will produce about 10000 worms.
After incubation the worms should be
kept in a warm room in which the
temperature will vary as little as pos
sible from 20 degrees, although they
may be subjected to much lower
temperature without serious injury.
They should be fed several times day.
1t was long supposed that the only
food upon which they would thrive
at all, was the leaves of the white
Mulberry. But it has been shown that
they do just as well on the leaves OF
the Usage orange hedge plant. These
are the main points to be considered.
OF course there are great many details
that any one intending to engage in
the business would do well to learn,
but they are not of interest to the gen.
eral public. Mrs. Barth does all the
work usually attended to by farmers
wives, but she says that with the help
of her children she thinks she can at
tend to 100000 silk worms, and find
the employment rather relaxation than
work. The merchantable product OF
the worms are Of course, the cocoons
they spin. These are easily prepared
for market and bring good price, SO
that one person can attend to his usu-
al work and at the same time talse
care Of enough worms to bring in from
$500 to $500 year.
The raising of silk is new industry
in Allen county, Mrs. Barth being the
first, we believe, to engage in it to any
extent. But the success of her exper-
iment will doubtless induce others to
follow her example, and we may expect
to see the industry assume considera-
BILE proportion in short time. Mrs.
Harmon Scott and Mrs. L. Whitaker,
of this place, are also experimenting
with smaller number, and have SO
far met with entire success. We be-
lieve that Miss Clara Strickland, liv-
ing in the north part of the county, is al
so giving some attention to the matter.
Mrs. Barth is always glad to receive
calls from any one interested in such
things, and from our own experience
we can assure all who visit her, Of a
hearty welcome, and most crafty
ing visit.

Apestruetiye Hurricane in the East.

LoCKPoRT. N. Y, Sept. 5.
A terrible hurricane, with hail, rain and
severe thunder and lightning, passed over
Niagara County last night about eight,
O'Clock. A regular swath was mown by
the whir1ing winds in some places, and a.
large amount of damage is reported along
its path. In the town of Newfane the
barn of VIM. Condor was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, caused by lightning, to-
gether with all his crops. implements, etc.
Loss, 5000; insurance, 500. The railroad
depot at Newfane Station was unroofed,
and the roof sailed away into neighbor-
ing field. Fences, trees and chimneys'
were blown down in this city and else
where. But the worst devastation occurred
at Middleport, twelve miles east, where. in
a few seconds, the iron roof of a four-story
canning factory was lifted like feather.
and carried about 200 feet, and dropped
upon the house of P. R. Barnes, crushing it
like an egg she'll. A section of the flying
roof just blew by gentleman, and striking
a tree twelve inches thick, cut it down in
stantly. The roofs We're taken from the
barns of Messrs. Breys, Casey, Fernail
and the large warehouse of c. w. Qdell,.
and a number of stout evergreens were
moved down as with knife. Several
people were injured, but fortunately none
dangerously. The damage is very heavy
in Middleport, and the storm was the worst
of the season while it lasted, which was not
over thirty minutes.

Doings of the Destructive Forces, Wind,
Water and Fire-Part1aI Record of Il
Days Happenings.
BOSTON, MASS, Sept 5.
The marks of terrific encounter with
furious seas were borne by the bark N.
Boynton, which reached this port from
Manila to-day. Captain Mason reports
that he left Manila April II, and had
quiet passage till August "a, when, in lati-
tude twenty-four degrees, longitude sixty
degrees the weather suddenly changed and
soon the vessel was plunging into heavy
sea, caused by terrific squalls, and accom-
panied by Il heavy rain. Everything on
and about the decks was secured, but the
wind continued to increase until it reached
the strength of hurricane. The heavy
sea running caused the vessel to labor
heavily, and immense quantities of water
were continually fioodingthe ship. At this
time such was the force of the wind that
the forecastle was blown completely away.
The situation of the vessel was now peril
GUS in the extreme, but worse luck was lnS
store for her. At 1880 a. III. terrible sea-
struck the ship and came rolling in over
the bows, carrying away two large and
very heavy lifeboats from their racks on.
the forward house, and they, with their
contents, were swept rapidly astern. The
same sea stove in the end of the forecastle,
completely quitting it, and az the same
time carried away q part OF the lee
rail. The bulk-head to the carpenters
shop was stove in at the same time, and
the galley windows, doors, ETC.. were swept
away, making complete wreck OF every
thing forward During the excitement and
confusion created by this sea, and when
endeavoring to save something from the
wreck, several of the men were badly in
jured by flying debris, and Fred Anderson,
twenty-four years Of age, single, native
of Russia, was so badly jammed that he
died within an hour. Such was the force
of the sea that it lifted the rail and cover
ing-board of the forecastle from the knight
head to the after part of the forecast1e, So
that the ends of the timbers We're all ex-
posed, and nothing remained to keep the
water from flooding the forecastle and
hold. The bulwarks on the port side were
badly stove, and the starboard rail split.
The heavy sea also broke the main ife-rail
and damaged the pump gear. In fact, al
most everything on the deck received more
or less damage, and all movable things,
such as water-barrels, spare spars, etc.,,
were swept away. The suuall was followed
by terribly confused sea, which lasted all
night, and not until six O'Clock the next
morning did the weather moderate, but the
heavy sea still continued, the vessel rolling
heavily and her decks being continually
flooded with water. The balance of the.
trip was rough one, heavy gales being
met with. The vessel brings S, 394 bags OF
sugar and 81 900 bales of hemp.
