Most editors willingly take notice of
anything new, especially il it is sub

for instance, the culture of silk, which
seems TO be in Texas almost unknown

south were raised $4,000 worth of CO.
ooons last spring. Two years ago the
San Antonio Express reported that
certain lady in San Antonio had raised
10000 silk worms. When ] addressed
the lady for information she kept silent,
also some other persons who followed
silk culture kept the result secret.
Everything useful ought to be gladly
communicated, and more so if it can be
OF any benefit to the women and
children of our blessed Texas land. |
