Noting just now except to answer let

,,;rb IN some questions is much more cost
/, o5.srei. tbs is the "osage orange
Gan, which is so much used for hedges in
.ue paris OF me country.
.Is;he silk worm fed on this?
Yes. they seem 20 ike it very well.
And 10 they thrive upon it,
.Appa-en.ly. We can't say yet how II
..rgs.,s VI ! mulberry, but so far it seems
. D,5v, ysry good substitute. Whether
no Al, ur-n will thrive in the sections
Ist.s Il. s. ave most grown is uncertain. 1t
sa matte Of experiment yet,
In v5sr parts o; the country do the silk
7rns seem 10 DO best:
Ia ,hs sections pretty well south, Ten.
ss,.,e. trsaEsas, Mississippi, Louisiana
ri s2u,l ern California, seem to be best
ynti f3- tk,m. We have furnished a
rsr many eggs however, to Illinois, where
he Csa-e orange is so largely used for
lrp5 and il IS not impossible that they
-s7 Je icurd 10 do very well there. My
8ss is however, that it will be found by
experiment. that only certain sections Of
hs corniry are especially fitted tor this
E9rz s1i when these are found the indus
r7 Eil be confined to them, Just as it IS in
france, where Only a small section is found
% be especially adapted for that, there sue

Yoa seem 10 be Of the impression that
ts production OF silk worms and silk in
AIS country may be made
\ Practicable Success.
.lriItLiuA !. may. OF course it is an
apeuneHt yet, but think the prospects
re T5.y favorable % tie production in this
raH'ry OF all the silk that our people want.
e have now, as YOU know, the machinery
II rs manufacture, and do manufacture g
::sat deal, importing the law silk for this
s ,lpOse from abroad. This is q very i'm
Drsn, industry which gives employment
% thousands Of people in this country now,
nd Il We can succeed in getting the people
b produce the eggs and eocoons we shall
|p a, home, in this country, good many
,LlOHs Of dollars which now 90 abroad
as,J year. |, is we'll worth the expert
rsIi"
And how are you progr essing with it?
By distributing the eggs to those who
l'?' for them and indicate to US that they
Ave any tsCili:ies for taking care of them,
i 10 oy 0Iylug the eggs at q good round
zce rom those in this country who pro-
'cs hem We have hitherto bought all
rsggs abroad. Now we are going to buy
he healthy ones that are offered US At
the We viii pay $3.50 per ounce for all
a PiOye. on microscopical examination,
% Ce in any way diseased, and next fall
ss'l. distribute 10 those who may apply as
nay eggs as our means tor this purpose
permit. Besides this we have estsb-
Slsi experimental stations in PhiladeP
New Orleans and San Francisco for
-s1J cf raw silk, where aid will be ex-
