A babu in charge OF the documents
OF certain town In India found that
they were being seriously damaged
by rats. He wrote to the govern

lions for two cats to destroy the rats.
The request was granted, and the two
rats were installed--one, the larger
of the two, receiving slightly better
rations than the other. All went well
for few weeks, when the supreme
government OF India received the fol

American girls had mastered all the
intricacies Of silk weaving, and their
teachers work done, they were allow
ed to return to France, leaving five
experts in the art, who stand ready to
impart their knowledge for the benefit
of this industry in America.
The principal difficulty at present in
the way of silk culture on large scale
is that food is scarce for the worms.
However, this feature can soon be OBJ
liberated, from the fact that the mll-
berry is tree of quick growth, and
large groves could soon be made ready
for the purpose of rearing the silk
worm in any number desired.
The Agricultural interest Of the Uni
ted States is upon the eve Of a new
BIRTH and both raw and manufactured
silk are destined to be anon g. the
leading and most profitable Of her pro-
ducts. Even now women and children
can make quite little income in con-

Why Should We Import Our Silks
from France?
Editor Florida AgricMlturist:

Editor Florida AgrjcWlturist:
One unpatriotic principle that the
American people have always possess
ed is to depend too mitch on the arts,
trades and professions Of other nations.
The word imported" seems to pos
sess a peculiar fascination for us-es-
pecially the feminine portion of the
population and dire disaster has be-
fallen many who have angled for i'm
ported husbands. Any quack pro-
Tossing to have a knowledge of medi-
cine, who will exhibit his shing1e as
German Specialist" before the door
of a basement in one of Our large
towns, has success assured him, re-
gardless that his near neighbor, the un-
dertaker, has in the meantime rented
more commodious quarters.
We have, since the establishment Of
the United States been importing our
silks from other countries, when we
possess every natural facility for pro-
ducing this fabric ourselves; while
facts have proven that the natural
genius for manufacturing it here is far
above that of even France
It has been shown that cocoons of
an excellent quality can be raised over
practically the whole country. There
fore, all that is required is the interest
of the people to an extent that will
make this new industry paying one,
and hasten the establishment Of silk
reeling on a commercial basis.
The first step, of course, is to pro-
vide the food upon which the silk
worm is to feed. The leaves of the
white mulberry tree (Morus Alba) and
its varieties mOretta rOsea, JapOn1ca
and multicau1is, make the best silk
worm food. This variety does not
thrive SO we'll except in the Southern
and South Central states, and should
be planted in low, marshy, rich ground
For the Northern states, the Russian
mulberry makes excellent food for the
si1k-worm. This is another variety Of
the Morus alba, known as tartarica,
and is very hardy plant quite capable
Of withstanding the most rigorous
climates Of this country. The leaves
Of the Usage Orange make a very
good food for the silk-worm in the
absence of either of the other varieties,
but care must be taken that the leaves
that are too young and juicy are not
fed, and that the thorns are removed
before using. The common red null
berry (Morus rubra) is not at all suit
able, neither is the paper mulberry
(Broussonetia papyriferia). When
grown from cuttings, the plant requires

three years before it is fit to feed to the
silk-worms.
Means of sustenance having been
provided, the next step is to secure
the eggs, which must be placed in a
large, airy room, properly heated and
ventilated for rearing purposes. A
room with an open fireplace makes an
ideal one. The eggs are placed on
broad, flat boards or trays covered
with paper, then exposed to the air
Great precaution must be taken how
ever, that neither the eggs nor the
worms are exposed to the direct rays
of the sun.
The eggs Matched, extreme care is
also necessary in feeding the worms,
which should have at least six meals a
day, the first as early and the last as
late as possible The leaves must be
perfectly clean and free from moisture.
The necessity for such frequent feeding
is caused by the fact that the worm
grows very rapidly and changes it's
skin about once a week for a period
of four weeks.
At the end of this time, he refuses
to eat, and some brush must be prepar-
ed for him, into which he crawls and
begins to make house for himself

The Government at Washington, for
the purpose of testing the practicability
OF silk manufacture in the United
States, has established an experimental
silk manufacturing plant, to which two
expert weavers-a mother and daught-
er-were brought over from France to
instruct those whom Uncle Sam pro-
posed to teach this art. They advised
that it was lifelong task to learn
sllk-weaving, and even then, to be a
real expert, one must have descended
for several generations from parents
who were silk weavers. Notwithstand-

alert, willing, ambitious, reliable, is
slow in coming. He is rare.
But when he does come to claim his

GRANT was president, George Pullman,
the palace car magnate, once remarked
to''him that he had long looked for a
young man, keen as the keenest, built
for big work and absolutely reliable.
"And,, do you know he added, Il

five years search?"

you can't have him. He is Horace
Porter, my secretary" But Pullman
did get him, and for twenty years the
man who afterwards became the Uni

YOU ready for big job?
If you have the right stul in you,
you don't have to go crawling on your
stomach for any mans favor. You
don't need to beg for a job although
you were asking charity.
But don't swell up and wait for big
jobs to come after you with brass

Ninety-nine men in hundred think
