COCOONS WANTED. 



Adam Brooks, .South Scituate, will pay gl per bushel for 

 cocoons (of the first quality) raised the present year — the 

 cocoons must be stripped of Ihe floss, and the chrysalis killed, 

 either by steaming or by camphorated spirits; Ihey must be 

 dried immediately after, in the sun, until they are perfectly 

 dry and will rattle by shaking, and carefully packed in dry- 

 boxes; not pressed but shaken down — to be delivered' at 

 .4dam Brooks's, South Scituate, Mass , or lo J. R. Newell, 

 No. 52 North Market street, Boston. 



Thomas G. Fessenden, Editor of the New England Farmer, 

 has for sale a valuable apparatus for killing the chrysalis and 

 also well fitted for heating the water to reel the cocoons, and 

 useful for many other purposes — it is so cheap it is within 

 the power of almost any one to obtain.

 the same — and receipts for coloring, are given by Adam

RAW SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity of American Keeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. 'I his Company will 

 also contract to pa}' cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing thai 

 it would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators that the 

 price of cocoons shou'd be regulated by the quantity and 

 quality of Ihe silk which can be reeled from them, Ihey pro- 

 pose to receive and reel them, and allow the highest price for 

 the silk which they will afford, in preference to purchasing 

 them by the I>ushel ; as by the mode proposed, Ihe cultivator 

 will realize all which Ihey can possibly be made lo produce. 

 Where Ihi-i course is objecle'd to they will purchase them as 

 they aie usually sold, by Ihe bushel ; in which case the price 

 will vary according to the qualitv, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



It is the intention of this Company at all limes lo offer 

 every encouragement to silk cultivators by paying cash and 

 liberal prices for Raw Silk and Silk Cocoons in any quantilies, 

 to be delivered at Nantucket, or at the Seed Store connected 

 with Ihe New England Farmer, No 62 North Market street,
