Two hundred years ago, our forefathers, Y<wilder British subjection, were impressed sewith 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! thiiilk culture.find enacted laws to compel th<he culture of the mulberry. Those laws, milowever, were in udvance of the age, and;ou!d not be enforced. Legislative inter- qu'ercnce can do little towards the introdue. r0ion of peculiar departments of industry, th<when the moral and physicial character of ophe people offer barriers. Twenty-five^ears ago an enterprising merchant of this thi:ity at'empted with a Cotton Factory to I peiush manufacturing among us. But he na

failed.the time had not arrived. Now we pri ii 1

iear the buzzing ana singing 01 spinaies, or prhe clank of hammers, or the merry song j ajif the mill in almost every quarter of our j bu;ity. The times are propitious, and ihey m<

orosper and will continue to prosper. The sei

genius of the age must sanction new enterorizes.andwithout such sanction, Leg. j trcslative interference and individual zeal are ; hpof no avail. q ftTwo hundred years

fathers atiemp ed 19 force tneljnfbut were unsuccessful. Our piout the aid or compulsion ofsuch fevf &ire now entering the business with anind profit. The propitious period has an

Lome, and prosperity must attend the enter friprise, sanctioned and aided by the public:ountenance and patronage. JV

Believing this, we take pleasure in throw,ing what light we con, on matters approachingto the silk interest. A friend, whose b)acquaintance we cannot too highly estimate,has conned over some periodicals, and pa

consider important at this juncture, and thoffer them, hoping that they may not bewithout somo benefit. ec

numbers that of silk culture. It appearsthe Burmans have at least twelve difterent hikinds ofsilk worms, vurying in habits and w

appearance ; but all profitable in their prop- m

er locations and treatment. Some oftliem thare remarkable, and we should suppose w

most valuable. One ofthese is the Muga e:

Destruction ofthe Curcilio. .

duced to try the experiment and uit.i tireur e successful results.In insulated situations, as in cities andplaces surrounded by salt msfsbes, the .

um and other smooth skina<xl fruits usually?ar large and very abundant crops, fritis not thus in the open country, where itwell known, that a great proportion ofthejits ofthe Plum, and the Nectarine ando Apricot are extremely liable to be desjyedby the attacks of the Curculio ; and>m this cause prematurely fall to theound.The Curculio is extremely partial to the100th skinned fruits. 'The cheery thoughuaJy obnoxious to the attacks ofthis in.ct, usually in a great measures escapes,ving to no other cause than the incredibleimber of its fruits.It is well known Ihut the egg which thetrculio desposits in the fruit become* iaocessoftime a worm, which causes a

cat part of the fruits, to fall. Soon after; fall, the worm quits the fruit, descending0 the earth. Early in spring, and aboute time the fruit is forming, the Curculioises from its early bed, a winged insect,et though having wings, it has been ob.rved that they rarely use them. Aftertering their new element and remaining1 the surface of the earth for a time,?y ascend they tree, and in u fey dayssy puncture and deposite an egg, innny cases, in every fruit.nn . _< iL. .O. i:_XI1C motions Ol mo vurvuuv arc vi.jyick; to observe them require very »rwand close inspection, as they avoid3 face of man suddenly dodging to theposite side of the leal or limb.Dr. Burnett informed me a few da s since,at he had a 6ne tree of the Princes Iin.rial Gage Plum. This variety, althoughturally one of the most valuable andoductive of all Plums, yet never wouldoducc a crop of fruit on his grounds, on
