My Dear Sir: —l want to make anew year’s pres ent to my subscribers, in the shape of a Communica tion on the Mulberry and the Silk Worm. 1 look to you far the Gift Knowing your experience, and hav ing, as you know, great confidence in your judgement I ask you to answer as soon as your leisure will per. init, the follow ing questions: Ist What are the advantages of the Morus Multi* caulis I—that is to say, is it the best mulberry tor f.-eding the silk worm —tlie earliest to be projiagateJ, &c. &c I 2d. How many lbs. of leaves do you estimate ran be raised on an acre of ground, the first year, in out climate—how many the 2d year, icc. &c.l 3d. How many lbs. of silk do you suppose can be raised to the acre of the Morus Multicaulis?—and what is the value (average) of the cocoons to the lb.! 4th. What is the best mode of propagating this mul berry 1 and on w hat sort of soil ! sth. Is this species of mulberry really the Multirau lis 1 that is, does it flourish like the filbert bush, or will it grow into a tree, like any other species of mul berry? And in what state, (bush or tree.) is it most NO. 14 usefu I ?' Gth. Has the Morus Multicaulis any othrr recom mendations, besides furnishing leaves for the silk worm ?—that is to say, can it he used for timber—for feeding cattle—and for enriching the ground ! If you have made any experiments, in either of these ways, please state them. 7th. Will the Morus Multicaulis flourish as well, or better, in our climate, than further North ? Bth, Does the silk worm thrive with us as well, or better than to the North ? 9th. Is the present demand for the Morus Multicau lis a mere humbug, or is it destined to become a |*-r --inanent object of value ? And would you soberly re commend your agr.cultural friends in \ irginia to go into the cultivation of tbe tree! 10th. Do you really believe that the silk Culture is destined, from our climate, capacity for raising the food of the worm, and other causes, to become a useful sub ject, to which we may devote our capital? Give me your ideas fully upon this subject. 11th. Have you raised the silk worm at all ? What species is the best ? And how many generations can be raised in our climate, in the course of the year ? I beg your attention, indeed to tbe whole subject— and ask from your experience and reading, us full a memoir as you can furnish. Yours, truly. THOMAS RITCHIE. Sidney, (Henrico C 0.,) 29th Dec. 1839. Dear Sir:—Yours of the 22d, in which you ask sundry questions concerning the Morus Multicaulis, and the rearing of Silk, in this State, is now before mo and I proceed to answer your queries as far as my ex perience and information upon the subject extend; To your first question, I answer, that it is tbe best kind of Mulberry for feeding worms, for several rea sons : It alfords a larger amount of leaves than any other kind. The leaves may lie gathered for l-sth of the expense required by any other variety ; the silk is of supeiiot quality ; a stronger fibre, aud more easily reeled ; and witir regard to its projiegation, it is more easily propagated than any variety known to uie. 2d. With tegard to this question, I have not much experience but according to tbe best information I can obtain, from sources to be r lied on, I attswer, that from otto acre, may be gathered the first season they arc planted, 1,000 lbs. and will increase perhaps l-3d to 1-* annually, fin scveiul yCJIS. 0,000 IDS. have tX'CII taken from an acre, when tbe trees were live years old or in that proportion. 3d. As to this question, I cannot say much from my own experience; but, I have taken pains to acquire tbs most accurate information upon the subject, and I find, that an acre planted with cuttings us 2 buds each wilt alibi'd the Ist season after planting, from 80 to 100 lbs. of silk, and at tbe age of five years, from 375 to 400 lbs. of reeled silk—the value of which is $5 to £0 per lb. As to the value of cocoons per lb., I have no Certain iufurmatiod, but find that it is considered profitable to reel them, instead of selling' litem in thut state. 4th. As to propagation. Let the ground be prop* erly prepared by ploughing and harrowing; take cut tings of 2 buds each, and insert them in the ground their full length, with the upper bud a little under the surface of the earth; after they commence growing, the utmost care should be taken to keep them clear of grass and weeds, and the ground kept light and open, by frequently running a cultivator lietwecn the rows, which may lie 4 feet or any other convenient distanco apart, and Cto 18 inches in the row. As to the soil— They will grow well in any rich land ; but, for the pur pose of raising silk, a light, sandy or gravelly soil is considered preferable. 4 th. As I consider this question of more than ordin ary importance, I will endeavoi to answer it fully. This variety was introduced into France in the year 1821, where it received the nane of Multicaulis. In 1827, it was introduced into the United States under this name: but, unless it be cut down either by frost or the knife, it will not in any instance become a Mul ticaulis, but w ill, when pruned and treated as another tree, become as large a tree as any other variety of the Mulberry. I cousidcr tins fact abundantly proved by trees now in my possession, which aie only seven years old from the cutlings, and now measures 18 in ches in circumference, one foot above the ground, and their trunks 10 to 12 feetin hight.—ln its nature, the Mulberry is altogether different from the Filbert or Ha zel, as it will never throw up a stem or bud from its roots. For the purpose of raising silk it is most valua ble as the bush, as in th's state the leaves can be gath ered with more facility than from large trees. 6th. Another important question this. I believe it has been long and generally known, that our native mulberry is one of the most valuable timber trees, pro ducing the most durable posts, rails, Ac., and from my observations and comparison of the wood of the two trees, I feel confident that the Morus Multicaulis will prove equally as valuable as the native, for timber or any other purposes to which it is applied. As to the leaves being valuable for feeding cattle,l have had occasion to know that fact; for early after I commenced raising the trees, my stock of tress accunrel ated beyond the then demand— and as they remained, several years in the ground, they afforded a great quan tity of leaves and young branches, which I was in the daily habit of having cut otl’and feeding to my milch cows. I found them to be fond of them, and to thrive well upon them. 1 also found a decided increase in the quantity of milk, as well as a great improvement in the quality of it. As to their enriching land upon which they grow it was during those several years that my trees remained upon the same ground, that I discovered their fertili zing qualities, since which I have had sufficient evi dence that they invariably improved every spot of land upon which I liavg planted them— owing I suppose, to the dense shade which they produce, and the great quantity of leaves which they return to the earth, and which are unlike ordinary leaves, as they always rot in a very short period after they fall ujion the ground, and arc not blown away from the land upon which they grow, as most other leaves are. 7th. Owing perhaps, to the fact, tl at in our elinato the warm season is longer than it is to the North, the Morus Multicaulis will in one season acquire a greater height than it will to the North, and produce a greater abundance of foilage when planted in similar land ; and for the same reason they flourish more rapidly far ther f oulh than they do here. This question I am not alrlo to answer very explicit ly. I know from experience, that they tnr.ve in this climate remarkably well, and from the report of others entitled to credit, I understand they succeed very -veil as far North as Massachusetts— but I cannot say in w hich climate they succeed best. 9th. Whilst I do not think that the present great demand and, consequent high prices paid fee the Mo rus Multicaulis, is natural, yet I do not Blink the sub ject a mere AtDiiftiqg; but on the contrary, I Mirvn the subject to lie one of great importance to tliistkatr
