ORIGIN OF SILK CULTURE.
For Many Centuries the Chinese Alone
Mazda the Fabric.

For Many Centuries the Chinese Alone
Made the Fabric.
Silk culture originated in China and
ancient chroniclers inform us that the
expresses of that country, surrounded
by their maids, employed their leisure
hours in rearing silk worms, winding
the silk and weaving it into delicate,
flmy tissues
For several centuries the Persians
supplied the Romans with this com
modify, which was brought overland
from China by means of caravans,
which crossed the Asiatic continent
in two hundred and forty three
days. Notwithstanding the fact that
an immense trade was thus carried
on between the two empires, the
knowledge of the silkworm or the man.
ner in which the silk was produced re-
NAMED secret with the Chinese and
was not known in Europe until the
time of Justinian.
At that time two Persian mission
aries who were stationed in India, WIS.,
tied China and there got an insight
into the cultivation of the worm and
the art of working the silk into vari-
ETY. of elegant fabrics. Return
ing to Constantinople, they informed
the emperor of the wonderful dis
coveries they had made, and minutely
described every process He promised
them princely reward II they would
obtain mum Der of the worms and thus
establish the making of silk in his cap
ital This arduous task was success
fully accomplished; the monks returned
to China and by recourse to strategy
procured a quantity of silk-worm eggs,
which they hid in the hollow of bam-
boo cane.
In a short time vast numbers of silk
worms were reared in various parts of
Greece and Turkey, and the raw silk
produced by them was manufactured
in Athens, Corinth, Thebes and other
cities.
The breeding of the worms rapidly
extended to Italy and Sicily. and in
every instance proved highly success
full Large factories were established
in many of the towns in both these
kingdoms, and very soon after the
Chinese and Persians found that their
silk trade had been monopolized by
the Europeans Free Press.

regular system IN cutting each shock
may be adopted. saving time and labor,
which the accompanying figure
may fully explain. The field is
cut by taking five rows of
hills at a time. and placing the
shocks in the center one. Twenty-Five
hills will make one shock. the center
being first taken: all the others are cut
and placed around it. If the corn is of
a large variety, three hills will be as
much as the operator will hold in the
grasp of his left arm while he cuts
them with his right hand and places
them against the forming shock. In
the figure. the shock is larger and in
the center: and the first three hills are
those indicated by the letters AAA. car
ried to the shock on the dotted line.
The next three are BIB, cut and
placed beside the others. Each sue
cessive three are marked by the letters
CCC, ODD. ZEE, FFF, GGG and HHH:
and being taken and cut in this regular
order they will be placed in separate
positions equally all around the shock,
and the laborer can hardly avoid max
ing it equally upright. The regular
system will abridge his steps. and make
the work much easier than cutting at
random. AS every shock requires the
same order, the operator soon becomes
accustomed to it and works rapidly.
The same general course will apply to
larger shocks. or to those made of
smaller corn. With slight modification,
it will apply to corn in drills. The ar
rows show the direction for the oper-
ator to work. In making Il single
shock. if the hills are three and half
feet apart. it will require about ten
rods walking, and for field of hum
bred shocks. more than three miles:
while with an irregular mode. without
system, several miles would be re-
quired. Saving the fodder would be
still more important, making all the
