RAW SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity of Amutican Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. This Company will 

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

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing that 

 it 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 fr<im them, they pro- 

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

 die silk which they will afford, in preference to purchasing 

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

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

 Where this course is objected to they will purch'^se them as 

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

 will vary according lo the quality, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



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

 every encouragement to silk culli-valors by paying cash and 

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

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

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

 Boston. Communications on the subject may be addressed 

 tu WM. H. GARDNER, 



President Atlantic Siilc CompoAy.

COCOONS AV ANTED. 



Adam Brooks, South Scituate, will pay $i per bushel for 

 cocoons (of the first quality) raised the present ^ear — the 

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

 either by steaming or by camphorated spirits; they must be 

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

 dry and will raltle by shaking, and carefully packed in dry 

 boxes; not pressed but shaken down — lo be delivered at 

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

 .No. 52 North Market street, Bos' on. 



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

 has for sale a valuable apparatus for killing the chrysalis and 

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

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

 the power of almost any one to obtain. 



Instructions for spinning silk from the cocoons into warp 

 and filling, sewing silk, and knitting silk — and dressing of 

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

 Brooks on reasonable terms. Communica'.ions (post paid)

FRENCH SUGAR BEET. 



We have just received a fresh lot of French Sugar Beet ol 

 this year's growth. Tne cultivation of the Beet for tl e man- 

 ufacture of sugar, is exciting the attention of farmers gene- 

 rally throughout the country, and bids fair to be one of Ihe 

 most impojtant branches of domestic industry. Sandy soi's 

 formed by alluvions and deposits of rivers are very favorable 

 to the growtn of beets ; but the best soils for the purpose are 

 those l,ial have the greatest depth ol vegetable mould. The 

 produce from an acre is very great. Two and a half pounds 

 is requisite to seed an acre. 'The seed may be sown broad- 

 cast, or in drills. We confidently recommend the artir-lehere 

 offered. It is pure and of ihe right kind, selected wi:h great 

 care from imported roots. For sale at tho New Knglaud Seed 

 Store, by JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
