SILK RAISING.
How the Industry Prospers In This
Country.

How the Industry Prospers in This
Country.
The silk industry, which has. become
SO large an interest in this country, is
purely manufacturing one, getting its
raw material altogether from abroad,
duty free. The manufacturers do not
expect much result from silk-raising
in America, chiefly because they think
silk can not be we'll reeled in this coun-
try at any satisfactory price. 1t is
stated that girls in the French tilatures
earn only from one to one and half
francs twenty to thirty cents) a day,
and in those of Italy seventy-five
centimes to franc (ifteen to twenty
cents) for fourteen hours work. while
equally skilled labor here should return
nearly dollar Moreover, silk valued
at four to five dollar per pound can be
brought to New York from Japan at
from three to eight cents per pound
freight. The promising field for Am
erican silk growing in America seems,
therefore to be restricted chiefly to
that of a subsidiary industry for women
and children, who would not otherwise
be at work, and then under the dis
advantage of "house reeling.' Whether
the production of cocoons, not for reel
ing, but for direct use by the growing
industry of spun-silk manufacture,
might prove profitable, is very ques-
tionable in view of the low price (about
seventy-fve cents per pound) paid for
cocOOns.
Nevertheless, a 'Women's Silk-Cult-
ure Association" one of the indirect
results of the Centennial Exposition,
exists in Philadelphia, with the purpose
of promoting silk-culture as profitable
work for women. This was organized,
with "purely philanthropic" purpose,
by Philadelphia ladies. headed by Mrs.
John Lucas, in April, 1880; it has per-
manent offices at 1928 Chestnut street,
where reeling is taught, silk-worm eggs,
mulberry trees and hand-reels sold, and
books of instruction, which it publishes,
supplied. Two silk exhibitions have
been held, and the association boasts
twelve auxiliaries in as many States,
and has had, it states, over thirty thou
sand correspondents. 1t is hoped ultl-
mately to open a filature. Its prospec-
tus, in presenting the claims of "Amer-
ica's new industry" says: 1T can be
prosecuted by the feebler members OF
the family, women and children, or
aged persons, to whom the severer
country life is a burden, and the COM
pensation is sure; for if our country is
sending annually to foreign lands
eighteen million dollars for raw silk,
there is no reason why this amount OF
money can not be divided among our
own American cplturists. The crop or
product is not perishable, like much of
the farm product, and the trees, once
planted and grown, yield a perpetual
supply of food for the silk-worms, care
being taken only in the annual picking
of the leaves"
The production of sixty thousand
pounds of cocoons was reported by cor
respondents of the association in 1883,
largely from southern New Jersey and
from the South, -Harper'S Magazine
