REASONS FOR MAKING SILK. .
The Adams county (P.) Silk . Society,
offer the following reasons why they should
cultivate silk:
1. Uecsuse it has been proved by the
experience of many, that ihe .soil and cli
mate of this country ate well adapted
and that the crop is as certain as any
o:hitf .... . c -- --
2. Because it can be produced by the
ordinary members of llio family, lo-the
value of several hundred dollars. Ml.
Heer, a plain German farmer, of Lancas
ter puumy, with the aid of a little girl
and," fur two weeks, the additional aid ill
one of his farm hand, made this season
about 82GU worth If silk, exclusivo f
state buunly.
3. Because one pound of silk will sell
for as much as a barrel of flour, and can
be more essly produced. 7
4. Beraue it requires one fourth of an
acre to produce a barrel of flour, whilst
the ssme amount of land wtll produce
Iwelve pounds of silk, as proven by the
Re.tv 1).. W McLean, of New Jersey and
many others, t - ' . . '. ' ,.
5. Uerauscone pound of silk, worth 95,
can be taken lo market st as little expense
asapound of flour, woith four cents.
- 0,. Because the labor or producing silk is
performed in six weeks, whilst any other
article of produce requires tix months.
7. Because it will dd much to the
wrai th of the country, without any mate
rial additional coat, since most of the U
b.i? ptn be peturmed by iChiLUrea and in-ili-in
persons. '''JZj1Z

couulry by State bounfies, whilst in Euro
pean and Aswtie silk growing countries,
a tax of 93 pes pound hos been paid - by
the producers. , -
9. Because the Chinese mulberry. mo-
rus inulticaulis, ran De propagated morel
speedily, and at less cost, than any other
tree that i raised .in The country, the
leaves of which may be used fur worm
feeding in two months after " the ' bud is
planted. . "'' l,'.:-
10. Because mir importations of for
eign silk already amount TO fZOrOCOfijOO
annually.
12. Because there are hunJren's of silk

which they are anxious to purchase all Ihe.
