SILK BIANUPACTURE. 



A GREAT estahlishment for the jirodiict and 

 nulactme of silk, is in progress near OIncyville 

 lode Island. On a most lieautiful spot, an as.so- 

 tion has planted many mulherry trees, and in- 



d .soon ft) have 1.5,000 of them ready for use 



je niimhers lieing alieaily four years old. They 

 fe also some newly invented machinery at vv<u-k 

 way of experiment, which succeeds well in 

 hug ihe silk from the cocoons — a very difficull 

 I tielieate operation. 



■V" I Ii ilesire to see the culture of silk a<l- 



eed, and its first most common manufutures 

 ipleiely estal.lislied. It will afford a fining and 

 uiifol emphiyment for thousands of females— 



I New England might, (and, as it were, wiihoui 



effort) add six or eight millions of (hiHars to 



annual product of values from this source 

 le. 



t is, on every account, to be wished that new 

 doyinents iimy he found for women and girls, 

 icialiy widows.and orphans at home — to whoni 



II the earning of two or three dollars a we. k 

 roaches a slate of independence and safety; and 

 hies them to live comfortably, Bccordmg to 

 r unostentatious and |uudential views. We 

 not without the hope of yet seeing many vil- 

 s or hamlets, (asylums of virtuous, but poor, 

 iiles,) where the culture ond first operation o( 



may afford a wholesome and happy employ- 

 it to thousands — jViUs' Eegisler. 



ITEMS OF ECONOMY, &c. 



Galheimg and Preservivg Fruit. In gathering 

 the fruit, great care is requisite. The great eiror 

 into \\\i\cAi most persons run is gathering too soon ; 

 aluays allow the Iruit to hang on as long as possi- 

 ble, or oiherwise it wilhers and becomes tasteless. 

 Always gathur them quite dry, and be careful not 

 to bruise them ; take them at once to the fruit 

 room, and place them in the drawers, in layers 

 singly ; cover over the first layer with dry saw- 

 dust, and jilace another layer, and- so on till the 

 business is compleied. There is no difiiculty in 

 this mode of fireserving, (in a fruit room cool and 

 well ventilated,) ajiples and pears throughout Way 

 and .Fune. 



Tomatoes — when ripe ntay be preserved a year 

 m a strong solution of salt in water, without boil- 

 ing or any culinary preparation whatever. When 

 taken out of the brine for use, they must be steep- 

 ed some hours in fresh water. — Belgian Hort.Jour. 

 Leather Machine: Mr. Samuel Haynes, a shoe- 

 maker of Belfast, Me. has invented a machine for 

 cutting shoe leather into vamps and quarters with 

 a most astonishing rapidity. One man, it is saiil, 

 will cut more shoes in one hour with this machine 

 than twelve men can cut by hand in a day. 



Preserve your Vessels. A gentleman who has 

 tried the exjieriment, recommends all slii|)-builders 

 to put between the ceiling and plank, pulverized 

 charcoal, which is a much better preservative than 

 salt — it is much lighter, and prevents the dry rot, 

 absorbing, as the charcoal does, all the acidity of 

 the wood. The same article is also very useful in 

 preserving meats, fruits, &c. which, hy its aston- 

 ishing quality may be sent to any part of the 

 world without injury. Try it, and be convinced

Influence of Color on Heat, the Deposition of Dezo, 

 and of Odors. Dr. Stark, in n paper in Jameson'.s 

 Journal, vol. xvii, p. 65, has shown, hy experi- 

 ment, that one principle operates in the production 

 of all the above results. A black color, whether 

 in solids or fluids, absorbs heat most rapidly, and 

 parts with it most rapiilly ; dew is also deposited 

 more rapidly on this color than on any other, ami 

 with proportionate rapidity evaporated from ii. 

 Oilors, whether agreeable, offensive, or of jnfic- 

 tioiis diseases, are, in like manner, absorbed wiih 

 greater rapiiliiy, and in grealei- qnanlity, in a "iveii 

 lime, by l,|ack colors; and <liscbarged hy these 

 colors with proporiiunate quickness. The other 

 colors are next ifleclive to black in the order ol 

 blue, brown, green, red, yellow, and lastly white ; 

 which last absorbs and gives out heal, dew, and' 

 odor, iiiciie slowly than any other color. These 

 tacts will afford valuable hints to gardeners for the 

 colors of walls, of walks, of rock work, of soils, ol 

 coverings lor proiection, and even of their dresses. 



Business of Franklin, Massachusetts. It is stal- 

 ed that in the town, (or township) of Franklin 

 near Wreniham, Rlass. containing a population of 

 nboiit 1,700 persons, ihe value of the straw hats 

 iii.iiiul,.riniiil by the females is between 75 000 

 •uid 80,000 dollars a year. 



The difference. An Editor some time since of- 

 lered a reward of one thousand dollars to any per- 

 son who would find a dift'erenre between Ihe To- 

 nes of '76 and the Whigs of '34. A lady claims 

 the reward, having found their distinction to be 

 Ibis— that the Tories of '76 wore short breeches, 

 and the Whigs of '34 wear puiitaloons.

Some Remarks on the Cultivation of tlie^i^w- 

 bernj, read bfore Lon. Horl. Snc. Flat tiles, paint- 

 ed black, are laid down round the plants, just as 

 they are going out of flower. The tiles seem to 

 be lormed on purpose ; for they are described as 

 having at least half a circle cut out of each tile, in 

 order that they may fit closely to the plants. " The 

 tiles during the day will not only prevent the ex- 

 halation of moisture from the soil, hut also collect 

 a great body of heat from the sun, and consequent- 

 ly form the fruit early, large and well flavored." 



" To make a Mimde Pudding, Stir flour into 

 boiling milk, the consistence of a thin hasty pud- 

 ding, and in 15 or 20 minutes it will be fit for the 



table. Serve with sauce to suit tiie taste." Cid- 



tivator. 



I should call this a 20 minute pudding— I have 

 seen many made in this way, but never saw a 

 good one. 



Hang over your tea kettle ; let it boil briskly : 

 while it is heating, put your flour in a basin ; wet 

 it as you would do starch with cold water ; then 

 [pour on your boiling water, keeping the flour stir- 

 ring while the hot water is going on; in one min- 

 ute it will be fit for the table, tender, transparent, 

 and sweet. Too much water should not he put 

 on or it will be too thin ; just enough to cook the 

 """'■• A Housekeeper. . 



P. S. — This pudding may he made of rye, wheat, 

 or buckwheat flour ; the batter of buckwheat cakes, 

 if boiling water be poured on as above, will make 

 a minute pudding. — Ohio Farmer. 



Sixty tons of Squashes have been raised the past 

 season, on one acre and a quarter of hind in Rox- 

 liury, Massachusetts. Happy—yea thrice and six 

 times bap|iy, are those who have cousins living in 

 itoxbiiry, whom they may visit at thanksgiving 

 nine, and partake of their pumpkin pies, whereof 

 squashes make tlie \ery best.- .V. Y. Transcript. 



The cost of producing and marketing a crop of 

 hops, has been computed by those well acquainted 

 with the business not to exceed tight cents per 

 pound ; and the comimm yield at full fifteen hun- 

 dred pounds to the acre. The price in the market 

 ihis year, is from eighteen to twenty cents per 

 pound, yielding a nett profit lo the farmer of full 

 ivvelve i-eiils on every poimd of hiqis, after paying 

 niiilays of every description. This computation 

 gives one hundred and eighty dollara clear income 

 for every acre of land in growing hojis Sag Har-
