But what shall we do with our’ cocoons? I will say, establish filatures, ‘where, eur cocoons would be reeled , into “‘grege,’’ or raw Silk. Filatures, in fact, are the link between cocoon raising” and a market; fora market, ‘even a distant one, can, be obtained for our ‘‘grege.”’ After.having given a fair trial to all-varieties of the mulberry family represented on. my place! and they aré the common mo‘rea alba (smali-leaved.) niulticaulis, morette, Ihoa, japonica, and grafted rose-leaved, I hud concludedto keep for the purpose of feeding silkworms none but the japonica aud, grafted rose-leaved, as the only ones which at the.same time, produce yuu silk and make the business pay. 1 wish that every one interestéd insilkworm raising could see for themselves how great are the-advantages oi these two" ‘varieties over all the others. That “grafted -rose-leaved" is ‘a most! beautiful tree, with thick leaves, which contain plenty of moisture to mike them in our hot climate and worms. As to the japonica, it grows 80 readily by cuttings, its wood is go hardy, its leaves so large and so much thicker than the multicaulis, that its qualities are bound to make of it-as great a favorite as the prafted rose-leaved.— Not only do those two varieties, thanks-to the large size of their leavos, yield one-fourth, ‘at least, more by the acre than any other varieties, even the large-leaved and worthless multicaulis, but the} picking of their leaves is done go much quicker that, for instance, five pounds of them are picked against one pound of any other variety, except the multicaulis. Andas our object must be the saving of labor, I ‘SaY.we must resort to such varieties . to chéapen thé cost of leaves, Silkworm culture, I believe, can be successfully carried. on-in California, rational care of the “worms. But the question with us must the esend, the press favorable to this ‘Yee dustry, and silk-growers themselves, must: direct their efforts, for I do not see of any other way to make of this industry a regular paying one, Retiring Officers, \ The following are the officers who retired from their positions ou Monday: Joseph Perrin, Sheriff; T.

Nevada Oify.t6 the California Farmer: As the egg trade-can be but-temporary; and is-a busitiess with very little certainty. about it, I) would advise people engaged in this silk industry to have in view, in raising silkworms, rather the production of cocoons for’ their silk than for their eggs. But what shall we do with our’ cocoons? I will say, establish filatures, ‘where, eur cocoons would be reeled , into “‘grege,’’ or raw Silk.. Filatures, in fact, are the link between cocoon raising” and a market; fora market, ‘even a distant one, can, be obtained for our ‘‘grege.”’ After.having given a fair trial to all-varieties of the mulberry family represented on. my place! and they aré the common mo‘rea alba (smali-leaved.) niulticaulis, morette, Ihoa, japonica, and grafted rose-leaved, I hud concludedto keep for the purpose of feeding silkworms none but the japonica aud, grafted rose-leaved, as the only ones which at the.same time, produce yuu silk and make the business pay. 1 wish that every one interestéd insilkworm raising could see for themselves how great are the-advantages oi these two" ‘varieties over all the others. That “grafted -rose-leaved" is ‘a most! beautiful tree, with thick leaves, which contain plenty of moisture to mike them in our hot climate and worms. As to the japonica, it grows 80 readily by cuttings, its wood is go hardy, its leaves so large and so much thicker than the multicaulis, that its qualities are bound to make of it-as great a favorite as the prafted rose-leaved.— Not only do those two varieties, thanks-to the large size of their leavos, yield one-fourth, ‘at least, more by the acre than any other varieties, even the large-leaved and worthless multicaulis, but the} picking of their leaves is done go much quicker that, for instance, five pounds of them are picked against one pound of any other variety, except the multicaulis. Andas our object must be the saving of labor, I ‘SaY.we must resort to such varieties . to chéapen thé cost of leaves, Silkworm culture, I believe, can be successfully carried. on-in California, rational care of the “worms. But the question with us must the esend, the press favorable to this ‘Yee dustry, and silk-growers themselves, must: direct their efforts, for I do not see of any other way to make of this industry a regular paying one, Retiring Officers, \ The following are the officers who retired from their positions ou Monday: Joseph Perrin, Sheriff; T.
