The following correspondence relates
to silk cocoons raised and silk produced
at the [. S. Experiment Station, which
was sent to the Department of Agricul-
ture for report:
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Entomology, Wash
ington, D. c.
December. %, 1905.
Dear Mr.. Van Dine:
I am returning you this day by ac-
companying mail, the silk which has
been eeIed from your cocoons less one
skein which was used in making tests.
Please find enclosed, copy of letter
from Mr.. James Chittick. Secretary of
the Clifton silk Mills, Weehawken, n.
J., relative to the qualities he found in
your silk.
SO far as your part is concerned, the
actual raising of the cocOOns was GER
tainly successful and you are to be
congratulated with the splendid show
ing which they make. The strength
and elasticity of the fibre and the very
economical reeling results, could not be
bettered. Generally speaking, it re-
quires four pounds of dried cocoons to
produce one pound of silk in the reel
ing; your cocOons produced one pound
of silk to about three pounds of
cocoons, which is equal to the most
economical results obtained in expert
enced silk producing countries. The
weak places in the thread, causing
numerous breaks, was entirely the fault
of our reelers. Hardness is due to the
nature of the cocoon employed. We
were well aware of this feature before
bo hut ha nj
is a particularly hardy race and one
that is safe to put into the hands of
our inexperienced people, we have laid
aside commercial qualities to some ex
tent until a higher degree of prof
cheney should be attained by the pro-
Queer and for this reason have distrib-
uted more eggs of the Sferici than of
any other race. Commercially there is
no comparison of this race with China
and Japan silk. This feature is strong
ly brought out in the next phase; gum
miness. Ordinarily the silk from your
type of cocoon should have given
loss of "a per cent. in weight in the
boiling off process due to the solubility
of the gum. Actual tests showed a loss
of % per cent or 4 per cent. in excess
of the ordinary. This is no doubt due
in great measure, if not entirely, to at
mOspheric conditions, and seems to-
show that the Sferici race, as stated in
a previous letter, is not entirely suited
to Hawaii. Japan silk loses Is per
cent. and China silk 10 per cent. in the
boiling off.
In the eggs to be sent you in the
spring, / will try and select those of a
race which seems better suited to Ha-
waii, though in this matter we must be
guided mainly by experiment. Judging
from results obtained in Hawaii be-
tween the years 1887 and 1912, by u.s.
ing cross between the Canton white
and yellow and the so-called American
race, I am inclined to believe that by
all means a cross race should now be
used and that the Canton white or yell |
low be employed as basis.
Yours very truly,
L. o. HOWARD,
Chief of Bureau.

MESSAGE AND HAWAII.

Our outlying possessions have every
reason to be pleased with the mes
sage. The President shows thorough
sympathy with all of them, a. recon-
mends policies for each which it's peo-
pie earnestly wish to see adopted. To
the Porto RiCans he would give Amer
lean citizenship; and that is something
they have long desired. He would for
tify Hawaii and give the United States
the protection there which was a lead
ing consideration in the requirement
Of the islands. Both recommendations
should prevail, and if they Go Congress

Let the Girls Help, Too.

They say they have a milking
machine at last that will do the work,
but, like the flying machine, it will
be some time before it is in common
use. The farm boy or girl growing
up without knowing how to milk is
missing valuable part of his educa-
tion. To be able to do general farm
work we'll is mighty valuable know
ledge, and milking no small part of
it. Milking is not hard work. 1t is
not disagreeable work when all the
conditions are right. Have the con-
ditions right and start the boy and
girl early. No milking machine can
ever come up to good, faithful boy,
and a good girl is just little better.
II more girls took to outdoor work
there would be less of them on the
operating table in middle ife.-A.

Can You Do 1t?

Buy the best COW you can. Give
her all the feed in the land and a
warm stable, then yell at her, beat
her and abuse her and you will get
little milk from her. There is no
more essential thing connected with
successful dairying than kind and
gentle treatment of the COWS. You
have not reached the proper point in
this respect until you can walk
through your herd in the lot swing
ing stick and not have a COW get
out of your way. This is not dream
ing. 1t is an actual fact at my place,
and want to tell you that we are
we'll paid for it, too, and that any of
you can do the same thing.-A. S.

Dairying Spreading.

Red Lake county farmers who only
a few years ago thought Of nothing
but raising wheat and who depended
upon nothing else as returns for
their labor are following in the foot
steps OF prosperous southern Mime
sofa farmers in turning some of their
efforts to diversity and the creamery
industry is fast becoming known as a
sure source Of income the year round.
The farmers in the neighborhood of
Grygla, in Marshall county, have ar
ranged for the establishment of a
creamery and have already placed an
order for modern machinery. More
COWS and less wheat should be the
slogan for Red Lake county farmers.

"a word about our Minnesota
farmers exchange.
We organized under the laws of
Minnesota. I was selected as the one
to apply for membership so that We
might be able ourselves to market
direct the grain of the farmers of the
northwest.
81 received four black balls out of
five. Why? Because I'd been telling
you farmers the truth about the way
they handle grain, and the real
remedies for it.
II want to impress on you gentle
men the fact that you've got to orga-
nize, get your elevators, and you'll get
what you're entitled to for your crops.
''Recently we thought we'd try the
Duluth Board Of Trade. We were
told that we need not apply for men,
bership since the board didn't want
the farmers of the northwest in
business for themselves. Why should
we want to do our own business when
there's such nice slick bunch of
fellows to do the work for you, and
you pay the freight.
IF each one Of the 25O, 900 farWers
in North Dakota would put up 81
each the problem would be taken
care of.
II want you to investigate this
exchange proposition, and l believe
Vou will all come in, buy a block of
the exchnge stock and help yourself
to place of independence.
Cooperation is what you have got
to have before you get what you're
entitled to for your crops.''
The meeting was as big a success
as any of the previous conventions.
It takes time, but in the end they
will result in much benefit to the
Red River region.

''COttOn is Cotton. y

We clip the following from the
Southwestern Agriculturist published
at Houston, Texas. We give it more
for the interest that attaches than
for information. It shows how much
alike the relations of the farmer and
the market are, whether he raises
cotton, corn or wheat. How much
alike are the thoughts of the farmer
here quoted and those of the wheat
farmer of the northwest when wheat
is booming up toward $l.25 bushel.
Sam Jones says: "Cotton is get
ting to be cotton, and it looks like it
is going to be less cotton instead of
more cotton. The less we make the
more we get for what we have. The
product see in yesterdays reports
makes it close on to II, 600, 900 bales.
Cotton is bringing ll1cents on the
streets in Gainesville today. This
high cotton is paralyzing the banking
business. Nobody wants to lend or
borrow or deposit. They seem to be
depositing their cotton under their
sheds and in their barns, and hold
ing it for the promised Is cents. I
have been highly tempted to sell in
the last few days, but l must sell on
strong market, because I don't
want to flood the market and run
prices down, therefore my five bales
Of cotton l hold until the market de-
-velopes unusual bouyancy. 1t seems
like the present crop has got them
all guessing more than ever. Some
times the bears have got the bulls
down and sometimes the bulls have
got the bears down. l enjoy the fight
and hold my cotton. Sometimes l am
d good mind to hold for Is cents,
then again am afraid l won't get
it, but as I have said before, 1 can
stand off my crditors as long as l
hold my cotton, but so soon as they
find out | have sold my cotton, 1
have got to settle or emigrate, and l
am hardly ready to emigrate yet.
81 saw a cartoon the other day in
one Of the daily papers on Secretary
Wilson's report, with the farm pro-
ducts for 1905; six billions and some
hundred millions. The farmer stood
with checks in hand for that amount.
The little railroad crowd has their
check for billion and little more
of earnings. And the other crowd
with their earnings, and the old
farmer made them all look like thirty
cents. The farmer that is bringing
up the rear Of the procession now has
quit this crowd and marches with
them no more. Not only is the
Southern farmer getting rich out of
ten and twelve cent cotton, but he is
making the West rich buying the
thousands of carloads Of mules at
high prices, and hogs and hominy to
beat the band and whenever the
farmer of the South shall raise every
thing he needs in connection with
his cotton, the South will be the
money-makers and money-lenders of
the world
"Six hundred and fifty millions of
dollars for one of our staple products,
to say nothing of iron, coal, vegeta-
bles, fruits, minerals and factories.
This flood of money will soon be con-
verified into purchase money for real
estate and farms and city realty will
go booming and bouncing. The iron
product is the first thing to show
that hard times are over, and real
estate is the last thing that men
turn to before booms are busted and
stringencies set in'.
