_ < I' u ---J SILK CULTURE. t f . | w TtIS DO.MLSTIC COCOONLRY. ! rv (Continued.) Ir< As soon os tlie worms have formed their cocoons, that is, four days after they began , to spin, the cocoons should be gathered, j in and the loose low and filth stripped off as J ea tney are taken from the branches. The 1 fo cocoons may then be reeled, or must he re curedi The nroo$s of reeling ha9 been |~ fully described in this Journal, and need ; ^ not be repeateifi^if^as also has the pro- ar cess of curing'UfelSErans. Once more, j ar however, let us t?rg|pf|ipon all persons the j propriety of reefaMBfjir own cocoons.? ' th They will obtaiir^SErcd'dmportant advantj jj| br ? "%y reduce the bulk of theft j product from a Very large to ,a very small; compass?no small object to jhose who re- i tu side at & distance frofh market. They'al ^ <j, so obtain the profit of reeling, which is near,- : ly or quit? equal to that of producing the J a! tocoons. Ler no one for a moment indulge the idea that they cannot learn to reel silk, i n.' Any intelligent person con learn ht a week j11 c -? . * i i 8( or two, to perform me operation, ano in one C( season, brcome'sufficiently skilled, to pro- i n, duce the finest aod best quality of raw silk, j 0| AH wfio make the experiment of feeding j worms, should appoint some active, intelii- j ?i gent young woman to reel, and the first co- '* coons made in the season, should be apro? 1 jj priated to her education as a reeler. She j jg will become sufficientlyiexpert wi4i the co- ! coons of the first crop, to feaeh others with j vv those of the second ; and thus they willj be j able to reel the whole, nearly-as fast as they j hi ere produced. This can be done, and should j v be done. Foreigners? we know, make aie' great noise alfaot the difficulty of railing ; ? but we also know, that hundreds of A uteri. ! f( can females have learned to reel in a few i t< weeks, and produce d silk equal to any ever I c produced in Piedmont. Indeed, we know ; c> of ag? d persons who have even made the c reel* and learned to use it perfectly, from i P the directions given in this Journal. Their j a only surprise was, after a fair trial, that j any one should ever have invested the art I a wiih any difficulty. The extreme fineness ; Hl of the fibre, to an inexperienced eye, seems it o k,. hf.vnnd the rf?nfh of the sense of01 touch; and iu apparent delicacy to the I P' same observer, would seem to be inca^a- j ble of withs'anding the rapid winding off i required in reeling. The fibre is so fine,; a that it can scarcely be seen, and so delicate, i that it would be supposed to break at tho ! tl slightest touch. Hence, every body on a ' n first view, supposes tho art of reeling so : w very difficult. And yet, all these difficulties ; & vanish at the first fuir trial; and all that is j a really necessary for a beginner, is resolution j to begin?let her take resolution to say 411 j will," and she shall he a reeler. Reeling silk j n is much more appropriate to femalcs4than :o t e male#. The very delicacy of the fibre, and j * the lightness of the operation, indicate that j ? the more delicate fingers of females should ! *( perform the operation. Let every ex peri- i meoter in raising worms therefore also fry j a the experiment of reeling, and in this way, j ^ will reelers be created oil over the country,; a ocd thus will a market for cocoons he es- i si tublished in every part of the United States, j ** The writer of this paper has already ex. 'c tended it to a greater length than he inten- jtc dod, or perhaps, is advisable for the object, i But he desired to say all that need bo said ! on the subject, that the inexperienced read- ; r, for whose use it is exclusively intended, j 0 might be able to try an experiment with nil | th the advantage possible. Hence, many small j ar things have boon spoken of?trifles light as lel air to the practised eye?but none the less | . important to a successful experiment. As ! r* before remarked, this paper is intended for | ^ 6mall domestic practise, not for large sys:c- ; b matic cocooneries. The latter will un- i fo doubtedly build and fit up cocooneries ex. j T pressly for the purj>ose; and tor such, we ' nave already published full aud detailed j[.* directions. G. li.

'Who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before, does more for bis country, than an Alexander or a Bonaparte." At the solicitation of many friends, the sub. seriber has consented to lie the editor and publisher of a periodical exclusively devoted to Agricnllure, Gxidening, and the oth r branches of Husbandry in general. Its object will be, in .. plain style, to commnnicate useful information lt to the cultivator, whether of the vine or the a flower, ot vegetables or plants, of fruits, grapes or trees, as the mulberry and all kinds of orchard trees, with the best manner of planting them ; furnishing suitable hints for the improvement of the various soils, breeds of cattle, ahd other slock, with the treatment of the diseases to which ihty are liablo, and the management of bees and si k worms. v The editor will .endeavor to illustrate the importuet principles'upon which the art and a science of agriculture is founded, and to introduce) an cconiinical system of tho labors, in the Held, meadow or cocoonery, that may be best adapted to the seasons, climate and latitude in which we reside, and which in moet respects, differ greatly from tho Middle, Northern end d Eastern Stales. Of rqofa Thaff\pne million qf Planters and 'i Horticulturists in the Southern Status, scarcely e' two out of a thousand havo an opportunity of II consulting any agricultural works, ami, aw I. wholly guided by casual observations upon tho II ways ot their neighbors and ancestors** lor they posFess no means of learning the almost it daily improvements that are making in their ? own par Icular branch of culture; neither can s they b* come acquainted with the improved varieties in tree?, frui's, vines, flowers, grain and plants, which are continually introduced to our notice from every portion 0/ the habitable globe, nor with the various improvements p and new inventions in the implements of tilInge. The publication shall contain a full account of all those that are likely to benefit our part of the country, and increase intelligence, virtue, happiness and prosperity at (c every hi art h in the Southern States, It shall be free from all sectarian or political ^ I, views, w holly governed by Southern feelings ^ and principles, endeavor will be to render it !. serviceable to the young and the aged?to "Heaven's last best gift to man" even in her teens, *nd to fh- sturdy Farmer?by informing 'i themofthi proper season, which from expen* ence in our section of the Union may have 1 been found most congenial to commit their seeds to the soil -to prune their vines and . trees?to transplant their tender shoots and flowers?to engraft, inocul ite or. bud their s shrubs and trees, and turn th?

We shall by no means overlook the great Southern staples, Cotton and Rice, for upon these, little information can be obtained from J Northern pul lications. From the kind promises tendered by friends tqr thp -undertaking, valuable original contribn* , tions may be anticipated; and other correal pondents are respectfully solicited to coramii. . nicate any information that may be interesting or beneficial to others, relating to their mode . of culture; as facts collected from the tillers of our own soil, with their observations and i remarks will be highly appreciated by the * editor; and since the happiness aud comfort of a country mainly depend upon its agricuJ. tore, in furnishing useful information to (he community, contributors will afford the highest evidence of their zeal and patriotism.
