RAAV SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company :i Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the higliest prices for any qumtity of Am' liean Reeled 

 Silk. The price wid be regulated according to the quality 

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

 also contract to pay cash and the higliest price for any qonn- 

 lily of Silk Cocoons raised tlie present year. Believing ihat 

 il would be 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 prJce for 

 the silk which they will atTonl, in preference u> purcliasir.g 

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

 will realize all which they can possibly be made to prod\ice. 

 Wiiere llii-. course is objected to iliey will purchase them as 

 thev aie usually sold, I)y the hnsliel ; in which case the price 

 will vary according to the qimlilv, age^ mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



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

 ever\ encouragement to silk ciiMivators by paying cash and 

 lil)eral prices for Raw Silk and SHk Cocoons in any quantities, 

 to be delivered at Nantucket, or at the Seed .^-tore connecleil 

 witii the New Fngland Farmer, No 52 North iMarket street, 

 Boston. Communicalions on the svibject mav be addressed

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

 either by steaming or by camphorated spirits ; they must be 

 t'ricd immediately after, in tiie sun, until they are perfectly 

 dry and win rattle by shaking, ami carefully parked in dry 

 boxes; uoi pressed but shaken down — to be delivored at 

 Adam Brooks's, South Scituate, Mass , or to J. R. Newell,

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

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

 and filling, sewing silk, and knitting silk — amJ dressings!
