SILK CULTURE IN BUCKS
COUNTY.
BY !. A. ANDERSON, OF LAMBERTvILLE
Paper Read Before the Fall Meeting, Of
the Bucks County Historical Society
at Newhope. October 10. 1908.
concluded from last week.

Regarding the extent Of the efforts
in this work, ii would appear that it
must have been considerable Watson
p. Church, of the Newtown Enter
Prise states that he has been informed
that there was Il coonery and a mill,
for making the thread near Ncwtown,
which was cone OF the few mills of the
kind operated in Bucks county. The
fact OF there being several mills of the
kind in the county indicates that the
effort TO raise silk in the locality must
have been somewhat extensive and
spread over field larger than that
covered by my youthful vision. 1t is
my impression that good many per.
sons were interested in the business.
One or two names occur To me but my
recollection ON that point is too iAdlS-
tlnct 10 warrant me in mentioning
them.
There are some trees growing II
Bclvidcrc, " :, which are known var
iously as "Nhite" mulberry and "Mor-
us multicaulis," names representing
different varties of the mulberry.
The tradition there Is that the pro-
genitors of these trees supplied leaves
for silk culture, but have not been
able to get any further information as
to the culture of silk IN New Jersey or
elsewhere IN the vicinity.
Whatever the extent OF the "eralc" 1t
would seem to have soon passed away
and, with it, the money and hopes OF
many who had put both SO largely IN
the venture.
II would add greatly to the interest
OF the subject il more could be gather

CULTURE OF SILK.

WI " M w ApII1N.
From the commencement oi our
annals, nj different periods oi time,
the advantages of silk culture have
been recommended or attempted
As early AS the ,eai l7aa, ames
Logan, IN writing To the Eenn family,
recommends "thc culture OF silk in tins
eountr, as extremely beneficial and
promising He says iron works also
promise well " In the next year he
speaks ol silk sent To England, saying,
''he Is glad II proves so good and he
doubts not IN time the country may
RAISE large quantities
In 1884 Governor Gordon addresses
the lords commissioners oi trade ON
various objects OF produce, &c, and
speaks in highest terms OF his expee
tations from the culture OF silk, "as Il
fit return To Great Britain" ior their
usual mportallons; he says the tree IS
SO natural To our soil and the worm
thtves So we'll some among us have
shown its practlcabill,y hy making some
small quantities, &c.
In the year 100, the subject was
taken up IN Philadelphia and adjacent
country with great spirit. 1t WAS great
" promoted by the eNeltlohs OF the
American Philosophical Society, s,mu-
lated h, the communications of DR..
Franklin IN Europe. Application was
made to the Assembly lor the estab-

delphia, ter winding eocoons, and the
managers To have power to grant pre-
mumS, &c, equal To 500 pounds per
annum tor hive years The necessary
ncipient funds, equal to 900 pounds,
were furnished by generous individuals
ON subscription, being generally two
pounds each, some IS pounds, and
Governor ohn Penn 20 pounds. With
such means the Mature WAS opened in
June, 1870, At 4 house on Seventh

and a rate OF premiums was announced.
/, appears that in the year Of i77L
about $500 pounds were brought there
to reel, and that of it 1854 pounds
were purchased by the managers in
about two months, IN July and Angus;
nearly ,woihirds of this had been raised
III New Jersey At the same time much
discussion OF The subject appeared in
the ga1ettes, and many mulberry trees
were planted in New lerse, and the
counties around Philadelphia. The
ladies IN particular gave much attention
10 the subject, and especially alter the
war had begun. when the foreign fabrics
OF silk were cut OF from their use. As
early as the year 1870, Susanna Wright.

Futile to Attempt Trout Propagation

In the Sheffield Observer of last week
is we'll written article on the early days
and settlement of the country about
Sheffield, by the "Son of a Pioneer" in
which the following paragraph, so true to
the facts, occurs:
"Wild deer came into the opening and
meat could be obtained at any time. The
larger sized brook trout had their home
in the Tionests creek and could be OBJ
tsined whenever wanted-it only required
few minutes time fishing TO Ii II the bas-
ket. Recollection of this time, no doubt,
impell men to the futile attempt now to
restOck the streams of this state with
trout by pouring trout fry into the
brooks. The object would be attained
just as soon by pouring them into the
handiest cesspools. Sure, there is some
slight evidence of trout life in the brooks
they we're once spawning places oftrout
but tho real home of trout was and is in
the large streams, because there is no
creature more inclined TO eat its kind
than trout, and of necessity they must
have room to escape being devoured by
the larger fish If we ever hope to have
them again in any considerable amount.
One fair sized trout in pool will devour
all the small fish and fry that comes in.
What are the environments necessary for
maintaining life in brook trout? First,
pure water; second shade. The first. ex-
cept in brooks, is not attainable. What
about shade? There is very little evil
dence Of trout life in streams subject to
the direct rays of the sun. 1t seems the
proper thing to pour in fry and prohibit
catching trout less than six inches In
length. Result is that the six inch
fish devour the fry. There might be
some slight value derived from the fry if
all fish large enough to bite hook were
caught out of the brooks, giving the fry
chance to live"

4 Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of.
A cold often forms culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. Consump-
tion, pneumonia, diptheria and scarlet
fever, for of the most dangerous and fatal
diseases, are of this class. The culture
bed formed by the cold favores the devel-
opment of the germs of these diseases,
that would not otherwise find lodgment.
There is little danger, however, of any of
these diseases being contracted when a
good expectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used.
1t cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs of these
diseases. That is why this remedy has
proved so universally successful in pre-.
venting pneumonia. 1t not only cures
your cold quickly, but minimizes the
risk of contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Dunn Il Fulton.
