Prospects are strong that the
United States will soon produce its

ing themselves in the subject Booker
T. Washington thinks that silk culture
can lie carried on by the poor colored
people in the South. Silk culture as
sociations are being formed in South
Carolina and Georgia. A company las
been started in New York, backed by
ample capital to start establishments
for Keeling silk in portions Of the
South, so that local supplies of cocoons
can be depended upon.
A Paying Industry.
Silk culture was once a paying in
dustry in this country, on small
scale, but continued competition with
the cheap labor of foreign countries
was found to be inpracticable. As late
as the passage Of the Mckinley tariff
bill efforts were made to secure an i'm
port duty on raw silk. Opposition BY
the manufacturers of silk goods, how
ever defeated these efforts. But II
seems now to those who are pushing
the matter that the time has CONT
when silk culture can be taken up tc
advantage in many portions OF the
country by poor families and nonpro
ducing members of comparatively wei
TODD families. With a sure product
and with Keeling establishments once
started, the product cannot fail II
continue to increase.
SILK Culture Is Easy.
SILK culture Is easy, requires care
but may be carried on by unskilled la
Dor, by the women and children of tn,
household. That is the way it is don,
in France and Italy and that is th'
way It is largely done IN Asia Minor
China and japan.
II has often been said that silk cul
ture in this country does not pa,
where there are so many other ave
nues which are more lucrative. Tbii
may be true; nevertheless, there ar,
thousands of families in this country
especially in the South, that coult
gladly add few extra dollars to the
annual income by undertaking tkil
easy and light employment for lev
months each year. This work can b,
performed by the aged, the young ant
more especially by the women of tn,
family. The raising of limited guam
tity Of cocoons eacn year need inter
fere but little with household duties
The question arises, Why cannot thi
industry be carried on as well in thi
as in other countries?
II Is to be hoped that the facts here
in given relating to this interesting
and industrious creature will aid tn
beginner who wishes 10 engage in tn
production Of silk with but a small oni
lay of time and capital.

Nature Of the SILK Worm.

The silkwOrm proper, or the Chinese
species from which the ordinary com
merciaI silk is produced, is the lava VI
a medium sized moth. which feeds
upon the leaf of the mulberry tree, and
is commonly called the mulberry silk.
worm.
Early in the spring, at about the
time the mulberry leaves begin 10
come forth, the eggs will hatch after
having been exposed to warm TEN
perature for Ave or six days.
During the LarvaI Stage.
During the larval stage, which lasts
from thirty TO forty days, the larva
spends most of its time in feeding, and
growing rapidly, attains a length OF
about three inches. The larval stage
is divided into i've different ages, sep.
arated by what are called molts, at
which time the worm casts its outer
covering, or skin. The rapid increase
in size of the insect renders the origi.
nal skin too small to allow for its
. growth. and hence four molts occur
during this stage.
When the fullgrown worm Is ready
to spin II pit crawls over the leaves
shrinks somewhat in size, and changes
to clear, translucent, yellow color,
Finding some suitable place to climb
upon to spin, it commences to threw
out threads of silk, which II forms into
a cocoon. which is completed in about
three days.
In seven days the larva changes to
a pupa. which is brown, oval and con
siderably smaller than the fullgrown
larva. In from two to three weeks Tie
pupa skin splits. and the moth, Of a
cream.white color. secretes a liquid
which moistens the end OF the cocoon
and dissolves the hard gummy lining

damp wings. energies. Soon after the
female begins laying her eggs.
Winterine and Matching Eggs.
Silkworms should by all means he
kept at an extremely low tempera
ture, not too moist nor too dry. A
northeastern, exposed, cool, dry cellar
is a suitable place to winter eggs.
At intervals they should be inspect
ed, and where mold is found 1t should
be brushed off and removed to a more
dry location; they should likewise be
protected from rats, and predaceous
insects. They should never be allow
ed to hatch out until mulberry leaves
begin to unfold, and about tho time
mulberry begins to come forth the
eggs should be brought from their win
ter quarters into a well.aired room
with an average temperature of abou
10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Of the prnprictors to an Advertiser re-
porter, by the leading hotel mer
throughout the State that something
ought to be done to regulate the prices
of the different hotels. Though this
is not really the object Of calling this
meeting it Will be the main subject
discussed.
During the last few months the
prices of all food products have ad-
vanced from % to 80 per cent. so that
many hotels are really losing money
mt the present prices. To remedy this
those at the meeting Will try to fiN
a scale of prices.
This is not. mind you. movement
got up by a few dissatisfied hotel pro-
pretors; all the hotel men are in it
and principally the big hotel men. Let.
tiers have been received by all those
who cannot be present. saying tina
they will give their hearty support t:
anything that the meeting will decide
on.
How this will be done has not ex
actly been determined. It is probabl
that the highest priced hotels now ma.
stay nj the same rates and the cheape
ones come up to them: but it IS NOR
probable that all will advance thei
prices as q matter Of self-preserva
ton.

matters in regard to the hotel bust
ness win be brought up for discussion.

be performed. These include the sa =

The troops will march into the build

conduct the ceremony, and will close
the same by reading Moses Owens ia :

of the young soldiers of today to the
old and worn but sacred flags carried
by their fathers in the war for the
preservation of the Union.
The regimental championship rifle
match was shot in the forenoon, and
it is remarkable that the best score
made exceeded the best score of last

demonstrates that the practice of the
past year has been productive of good.
Today. the great feature of range
work will be had. 1t is the inter-

10 of the best shots of each regiment
compete for prizes. Two substitutes
will be allowed each team and the
distance will be 200 yards only. This

next two heats Art Alec took in slower
time, but with fierce home drives. The
gelding is bad scorer and he made
lots of trouble for the field in getting
