he paid an advance of fifty cents in thn ji

fact, which was, that they could entirely dis* ii

Mr, M'Csrty, of Pmladelphia, ?lso exhibited

Mr. RjJ?hn, M-tiiiy uuk, ulso OUcJrcss'l
ilie meeting, and spoke generally of his <*x
pericuco in the silk business, and of its im
portnnee to the country. : c b id been en
gnged in feeding worms on tlm white Ytalan
mulberry (brnine years, but sinco Ik
lisd tri'-d the inorus multicsul s, he gave il
ft s decided preference for vnrious reasons ;
1st. The leuf was much larger. 2<J. Tht
worm consumed a greater proper:ion of it
lion any other leaf. 3d. One man could
eed us many worms from it in a duy, us
our could from tlie oilier varieties, while th?
silk it produced whs eqasl if not superior c
ihat of any o'her. 4tb. Ttie rapidity and
ause by which the inorus muliieuuhs coult
be propagated, and the extraordinary slior
Rp-ico of time required to bring it in o u*c
In Mr. Wilbank's rem irks, he advised silk
growers to ruise the mammo'.h sulphur co
toons, (bras that species produced the roar
s?si fibre, it was best adapt-sl to lite sdt
mtiuuficiure in us present slate. In tle-sc
vi- ws Mr. Ripku differed, und thought thai
he cocoon was not object-ona hie on aejaunt
oft1 e fineness of its fibre, und conse.
|uen ly was not less valuable for that reasin.
Mr 11 ulso stated another interesting
not relative to the pres-rvation of tlie m<?rus
nultieaulis through the winter ; ho said that
lUnoughdHw the firs* year rathern fuiuler
rue, yet it was only ?o the first- year, and
iven then would, in u majority of cases,
itund the winter better than if protected.

,vnilc another par. ion, in the same putcli, he
eft wiiimui ihu lo.iSt pro'CCtic.n, ailtl lilt' re.
tult was, that those he took so much care in
iro octing against the weu her, were tiesroyed
down to the very roo1, wbilo those
i a protected were not injured in the slight's!
J? grec, not even the tender extremities o!
lie brandies perceptibly suffered. Tim
vlmlo tenor of Mr. R.'s remarks werehighy
satisfiictory and encouraging
Lfr. Monar, of Philadelphia, offered some
arresting facts in relation to the silk bisi.
less in Phlndelphin, prior to the Re.vtfluion
; that a company was formed, wljich
tent to England 74 I lbs. of cocoons in one
year, and upwards of <100 lbs. nnoiner,
irliich being manufnc ured there, wus re
urnvd to the Philadelphia market for sale.
ri?? Doctor spok decidedly in favour oi
stnbtishing a filature in Puiladelpliin, and
bought tun: it would exercise a very strong
influence on th? cultivation of silk.
Mr. Comfort, of Byfvrry, also gave Ins
( xperienee and convictions on the subject
He s.uted, that from n trial th" present
ion as to the number of worms u single
land was capable of feeding, ho was confi.
ieiil that tlio estimated expenses of ibis p i t
if the operation was greatly overrated, if
lis mo lo of foeduig was adopted. Instwd
>f gathering the leaves singly according to
ho common practice, h? recommended lie
nnwing of the tops of the tn*es off wii|? u
cylhc, utid throwing the branenesnnd all to
lie worms , lie said they were fonJ of crawngon
the branch's, th" tender pirt of
nhich they vorac ously consumed ,n pre|*rnee
to iho leaf, and thinks that the mrluv.
ig fre? r circulation through tho leaves and
mong thj worms, in consequence of lie
light elevation or looseness of the food, I is

ISOCl.
