These two silk factories stand ready to
take all the raw silk that our State can
furnish for some time to come. Atpresent,
however, they are dependent upon japan,
China and Europe for their supplies of raw
silk, for which they pay from 81 50 to 81 %
per pound, according to the grade of the
article and the condition of the market.
They would much prefer to pay the
thousands of dollars spent annually for
raw silk to our own people rather than
send it abroad. 1t is to bring about that

have recently examined several pieces of
these goods at Keanc & O'Connor's, in San

Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress TO all mankind.

Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,

THE SILK INDUSTRY.
REVIEW OF IT'S PROGRESS DUR
ING THE PAST YEAR.
Present Condition and Extent OF
Silk Culture and Silk Manu-
facture in California

Written for the New Years REcoRI-UNIoN by
C. A Buekbee, President of the State Board OF
Silk Culture.
The production of raw silk in this State
is now an assured fact. The quantity is
not large, but there is healthy increase,
and the quality, when carefully reeled, is
classed with the best in the world. A hank
of this years growth and reeling has been
sent to France by the Silk Culture Bureau
at Washington for examination, and the
report says " 1t compares favorablv with
| the best French and Italian silks" This
| is very iattering to our State. A part of
last years product was put into spoiled silk
| by Messrs. Carlson Il Currier, silk manu-
| facturers of San Francisco. The testimony
of this firm is all that could be desired,
| when it is considered that the portion
worked was reeled by pupils, who had
never before even seen a reel. Another
portion was sent East by the same firm 1t
was exhibited at Philadelphia, and then
was made up into ladies silk hose by
MeSsrS. Bedding Brothers, at Northampton,
| Mass These gentlemen testify that it
turned out much better than they expected,
and that the manufactured hose are equal
to the best imported article, sold at whole
sale in the New York markets for $4S per
Dozen Some of these manufactured arti-
cles are now on exhibition at the New Or
leans Exposition and reports Just received
| from that city assure us that they are n
chief attraction in the California depart
ment of the National Fair.
| THE PACIFIC SILK FACTORY.
OF this years product a quantity of raw
silk reeled at the State filature has been
rendered to Messrs. Sauffrignon & Van de
Casteete, the proprietors of the Pacific Silk
Factory at San Jose. These gentlemen pur-
pose, if their looms and other appliances
will permit, to put the product into fancy

ated last year for the promotion of silk
culture in the United States.
STATE BOARD OF SILK CULTURE.
The State Board of Silk Culture, organ
lied by the Legislature, is composed of the
following persons Professor E. w. Hill

L. carr ana MIS- Flora NJ. hlfnDall. Dur-
ing the last two years the State Board has
distributed many thousands of mulberry
trees, cuttings and seeds to farmers fami-
lies. 1t has supplied silk-worm eggs to be-
ginners in the enterprise, bought all the
cocoons offered to it by our home pro-
ducers, taught twelve girls the art of reel
ing, and has obtained for the coming season
all the s;lk-worm eggs that will be needed,
and between 10000 and 10000 young trees
and cuttings for new applicants.
PRODUCT FOR 1884
II is too early TO report a large product OF
cocoons, for the reason that the trees
planted three years ago will only be of use
next season; but the best information at
hand would Justify an estimate of not less
than $500 pounds during the year 1884
Nearly 1000 pounds of this product was
received at the State Filature. Many be-
ginners used their cocoons for the produc-
ton of eggs, which can be sold for 81 and
S. an ounce.
SWISS-ITALIAN COLONY.
A very encouraging outlook for this new
industry is q recent resolve of the Swiss
and Italian members of the colony in So
noina county. They have just decided to
add silk culture to their other farm pro,
ducts. Sixteen families have applied fo1
