 The Committee were pleased to notice that the pride 

 and spirit of enterprise which the ploughmeit of our 

 county have ever manifested, seemed not in the least 

 abated although the day was the most inclement of 

 the season. Should we be favored with a fine day for 

 our next exhibition, we anticipate much competition and 

 many of our braveSt men in the field.

Adam Brooks, .South Scituate, will pay ,^4 per bushel for 

 cocoons (of the (irst qualtty) raised the present year — the 

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

 either by steaming or l>y camphorated spirits; they must be

RA1V SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The .Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices (or any quantity of American Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. '1 his Company will 

 also contract lo pay cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 lity o( Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing that 

 il would he decidedly for the interest of cultivators that the 

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

 quality of the silk which can be reeled from them, they pro- 

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

 the silk \\'hich they will afford, in preference to purchasir.g 

 them by the bushel ; as by the mode proposed, the cultivator 

 will realize all which they can possibly be made to' produce. 

 Where thi-i course is objected to ihey will purch^^se them as 

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

 will varj' according to the quaiitv, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



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

 every encouragement lo silk cultivators by paying cash and 

 liberal prices lor Raw Silk and Silk Cocoons in any quantities, 

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

 with the New England Farmer, No 52 North Market street,
