the room should be at least ten feet wide, ff-

A few words about the slkworm may be
permissible as an introduction. The silk
worm is the caterpillar of kind of moth
which feeds on the leaves of the mulberry
tree.
This moth originally came from China, and
for a long period all the silk used in the
world come from that country. Laws were
made forbidding the people from sending
any silkworm eggs out of China, or from tell
ing anything about the manufacture of silk;
but they were evaded, as all such laws must
be, and the culture of silk is now confined
to no one country. although China and India
still control the trade.

out furniture, and the windows provided with
shades to exclude the direct rays of the sun.
Silkworms do not mind light. but they sicken
in the sun.
One pound of copperas dissolved in pail
of water will purity the bad air or other
odors. Never sweep sae floor of the cocoonery,
but sponge it, to avoid dust.
ToEbegin the operation. you must purchase
the eggs some time between November and
May. An ounce will be sufficient, producing
40, 900 worms.
The eggs must be kept at temperature of
40 degrees until needed. You may, keep them
in a refrigerator, if no other cool place can
AS soon as the leaves are bursting out on
the mulberry trees which will be from March
to May, according to the locality, bring the
eggs to temperature of so degrees for an
hour or so, then to 60 degrees for another
hour. and then to 70 degrees in the Matching
room Spread them on clean white paper in
a shallow box.

In three days from the commencement of
spinning the worms finish their cocoons, and
it then takes four or five days for them to
ming is over, the eocoons which are to be
reeled for silk are gathered and "stifed" to
kill the moths.
There are four ways of doing this:
Steaming-Put the cocoons in a coarse bag
and steam for thirty minutes over boiling
water
Hot Air.-Put the cocoons in shallow, per-

cocooNs : NATURAL SIZE

But there are climatic limitations. Silk
culture requires a warm climate-not neces-
sarily tropical. however-and not too variable.
The next requisite is food. The silkworm
needs food comprising four substances
water, saccharine, resin and fbrous sub
stance. The silkworm itself has selected the
mulberry tree as its natural food. :,
There are two well-known kinds of null
berry trees-the white and the black. For
silk culture the white mulberry is the best,
and it will grow in any portion of the United
States south of the latitude of 43 degrees.
Draw line from Boston due west to the
Rockies s-anywhere below that line the white
mulberry will grow.
West of the Rockies it may be grown in
higher latitudes, and on the Pacific coast it
may be grown as far north as Portland,
Oregon.

Usage orange also furnishes food for SILK
worms.
The white mulberry yields one pound OF
cocoons to ten pounds of leaves, and the SILK
is of superior quality. The black mulberry
produces very good silk, and as much as the
white mulberry; the Usage orange produces
fair silk, but less in quantity than the null

WE WONDER

If Buffalo Bill thought that Water bury money was the tainted" kind last Friday, when he kept the people waiting from 2 until 4 o'clock before he started his performance and then picked up his tent at 6:S0 and skid dooed out of town after advertising to give us another performance in the evening? We'll, poor "Bill." as great man as he Is, must take his bumps once In while and he got them the day before he arrived here. We heard the buffalo got at the cof- fee and ate it all. and the men could not find the grounds. That was good joke. But we hear when the canvas men told Bill their pay ($S per week and grub) was too small he couldn't see the point and they struck. But that was carrying the joke too far, and when he offered more pay they said his money was tainted" because " 'taint" enough. That settled it and he couldn't do as he advertised. We'll, last week we couldn't do as we advertised. We only had half enough of those butter crooks to satisfy our trade, but we'll see you later about them. This week we'll give you splendid blue deco rated cuspidor with pound of our warranted nice tasting soc tea at
