silk Culture.

Mr.. C. F. Herbst now has about
five or six thousand silk worms
actively engaged in business, there
are four different varities ofworms
in different stages of existence,
from the juvenile worm a week or
ten days old, up to the old veteran
worm in the act of webbing him
seIfup or spinning his cocoon. All
the worms are healthy and thriv-
ing. They have been fed on null
berry leaves from Mr.. Herbsts
orchard at his residence in Silk
vile, thriving and populous sub
urb of this city. The season has
been wet-and backward and the
weather very changable, but not
withstanding these drawbacks the
worms have tkrived TO remarka-
BILE degree and already have pro-
duced a number of frst-elass CO.
coons. The experiment demon
strates beyond the possibility of a
doubt that the soil and climate
here are as well adopted to silk
culture as any where in the world.
A Chinaman living here, who is
familiar with silk culture in the
Celestial Empire, was in the
":wormery" a day or two ago and
expressed his establishment at the
fine appearance of the worms and
the quality of the cocoons. 1t
takes only about six weeks from
the time the infant worm, about
the size of a mustard seed, emer-
ges from the cgg-shell till he has
made the complete cocoon. In about
10 days after the cocoon is compile
ted the worm energies in the shape
of moth or fly, lays eggs and
dies. The eggs are readily kept
until the following season. To de-
scribe the minutia.. of raising the
worms would require more space
than we have at present, but it
may be said that the process is
very simple, and we predict that
by the next United States census
the production of eocoons and silk
will figure as no unimportant part
of the products of this county and
vicinity.
