refreshing to say the least. Since
Mr.. Tilden was elected to the presiden.

the Republican leaders, their papers
have allowed no opportunity pass tc
abuse and slander him, simply upon

Notwithstanding all the personal abuse
heaped upon him by the Republican

his high standing among the American

SILK CULTURE

ALBANY, Or, Sept. lS, 1883.
I received 200 silk worm eggs through
the mail in May, part Of which were 50
badly damaged in shipping that only 75
hatched. / fed them Immediately on O.
sage orange leaves as they will only liv
on mulberry and Usage orange leaves.
The worm grows very rapid and as
the she'll does not grow 30 fast as the
rest Of the worm it becomes necessary
at tho end Of seven days to shed or
molt the Same as snake does and thus
they continue to grow and molt for ten
weeks, in warmer climate than this
they mature in less time.
At the end of ten weeks they quit
eating and commence spinning their
cocoon it requires three days for each
one to complete its cocoon and eigh-
teen days after they quit spinning their
cocoon they come out moth flies and
deposit their eggs. As one fly lays $50
eggs it 10 not necessary to take all oi
the flies so those that are not wanted
are placed in hot steam and are thus
prevented from Matching and cutting O
hole through the cocoon and thus les
soning its value. Silk culture has prov.
en- successful in Oregon.
