Show SUUU I'LTUKE. A liectiflcatlon. Editors Herald: Iu your issue of June 12;h I find a very singular I ipsui ct'om, a mistake vhich will bo all at once discovered by :vcry silk grower. Io my laat commu-iiicatiouon commu-iiicatiouon sericulture wlnen you have published in that number, I said to tlietu, "Produce as many silkworms as you possibly can, and let your female millers perform their last act on some nice white calico carls, about twelve feet long and six feet wide, in order that these new cotton cards might be thickly aud uniformly covered with eggs." Now an egg-card of such an immense im-mense size would be, indeed, a curiosity. curios-ity. I am so very busy that I have oot time enough to read over my writings writ-ings ; hence my singular blunder. Uur new cotton cards ought to be only about twelve inches long ani six inches inch-es wide. A few words more, if you please. Mr. An-on Call, of Bountiful, has only thirty mulberry trees on his largo lar.n. fheyaretcnor twelve years old. He will probably produce sixty ounces of healthy silkworms eggs during the present season. They will be worth about $2-10. Let him plant as soon as po.-sible an aero of mulberry trees, and I will guarantee to him iu a few years an income of two thousand dollars from that source a nice sum which can be obtained annually in two mon;hs of eay aud pleasant work- Farmers of Utah, the Prench market mar-ket is now fairly open to the exportation exporta-tion of our most excellent eggs. Plaut as many mulberry trees as jou can. Very respectfuby yours, Louis A. Bkrtrnd. |
