SILK OULTURE. nr
Two hundred years ago, our forefathers, Y<
wilder British subjection, were impressed se
with the importance of the production of en
silk?they were aware of the capacity of or
)ur climate and soil for all the purposes o! thi
iilk culture?find enacted laws to compel th<
he culture of the mulberry. Those laws, mi
lowever, were in udvance of the age, and
;ou!d not be enforced. Legislative inter- qu
'ercnce can do little towards the introdue. r0
ion of peculiar departments of industry, th<
when the moral and physicial character of op
he people offer barriers. Twenty-five
^ears ago an enterprising merchant of this thi
:ity at'empted with a Cotton Factory to I pe
iush manufacturing among us. But he i na
failed?the time had not arrived. Now we pr

if the mill in almost every quarter of our j bu

orosper and will continue to prosper. The sei
genius of the age must sanction new enterorizes?and
without such sanction, Leg. j trc
slative interference and individual zeal are ; hp
of no avail. q ft

Believing this, we take pleasure in throw,
ing what light we con, on matters approaching
to the silk interest. A friend, whose b)

numbers that of silk culture. It appears
the Burmans have at least twelve difterent hi
kinds of silk worms, vurying in habits and w
appearance ; but all profitable in their prop- m
er locations and treatment. Some oftliem th
are remarkable, and we should suppose w
most valuable. One ofthese is the Muga e:

Destruction of the Curcilio. .
/ ?
^FROM THE NEW ENGL AIM U hAKMEtt-^
Messrs Editors .vFor the following sucssful
mode of destroying the Curculio, I
n Indebted to my respected friend Dr. in.
Burnett, ofSou hboro\ a gentleman etuimtly
distinguished for s< ience and pi.ac*
:al observation. 1 hope others may be ^
duced to try the experiment and uit.i tire
ur e successful results. .
In insulated situations, as in cities and
places surrounded by salt msfsbes, the .
um and other smooth skina<xl fruits usually
?ar large and very abundant crops, frit
is not thus in the open country, where it
well known, that a great proportion ofthe
jits of the Plum, and the Nectarine and
o Apricot are extremely liable to be desjyed
by the attacks of the Curculio ; and
>m this cause prematurely fall to the
ound.
The Curculio is extremely partial to the
100th skinned fruits. 'The cheery though
uaJy obnoxious to the attacks ofthis in.
ct, usually in a great measures escapes,
ving to no other cause than the incredible
imber of its fruits.
It is well known I hut the egg which the
trculio desposits in the fruit become* ia
ocessoftime a worm, which causes a
cat part of the fruits, to fall. Soon after
; fall, the worm quits the fruit, descending
0 the earth. Early in spring, and about
e time the fruit is forming, the Curculio
ises from its early bed, a winged insect,
et though having wings, it has been ob.
rved that they rarely use them. After
tering their new element and remaining
1 the surface of the earth for a time,
?y ascend they tree, and in u fey days
sy puncture and deposite an egg, in
nny cases, in every fruit.
