PROSPECTUS. 



Fessenden's Silk Manual, and Practical Farmer devoted 

 to Agriculture, Rural Economy and the Culture of 

 Silk. Published monthly at fifty cents per annum. 

 This is the title, and these the conditions of a 

 work intended to embrace the subjects of Agri- 

 culture and Silk Culture. It will contain, 

 chiefly, articles on Practical Farming and Rural 

 Economy, selected from the Weekly New Eng- 

 land Farmer, and therefore intended for those 

 who are not subscribers for that work. 



We hope and believe that the culture of Silk, 

 in some if not in all its branches, will eventually 

 become the employment of a portion* of the family 

 of every farmer ; and not only be made a source 

 of considerable profit to the individuals engaged 

 in this fine art but a great national benefit ; not 

 only save millions to the United States now sent 

 out of the country for the importation of this 

 useful as well as elegant article, but become a 

 source of national income by its exportations . 

 There is a certainty of a sale for this article, as 

 the wants and the wishes of the wearers and 

 consumers will increase with the copiousness and 

 facilities of the supplies. The amount now con- 

 sumed in the country m.ay be in some degree 

 estimated by reference to the value of the raw 

 Silk now imported, which as it appears by official 

 documents, exceeds ten millions of dollars, 

 annually. 



In connexion with subjects relating to Agriculture 

 (he Practical Farmer will contain the experiments 

 and opinions of cultivators engaged in the grow- 

 ing of Mulberry trees, as well as the manufacture 

 of Silk ; avoiding such theories and speculations 

 as might probably mislead, or be misunderstood 

 by those who are practically concerned in Silk 

 manufacture. And we would respectfully solicit 

 communications from those who are or may be 

 engaged in silk culture, to enrich the pages of our 

 Silk Manual. 



Postmasters and others who may be disposed 

 to assist us in obtaining subscribers, will please to 

 retain 10 per cent of the money which they may 

 receive for subscriptions ; and the aid of all who 

 are friendly to the objects of our periodical is 

 respectfully solicited.
