SERICULTURE.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib,—Allow me through the medium of your paper to express my thanks to Mr A. J. Ailom, for the repl^r in last night's Star to my enquiry re-sericulture, which is a very useful and important one. The question suggests itself whether the society just formed might not form a precedent by publishing articles periodically on the same question, as ultimately it must become an important one should it become an established industry. Statements on such occasions which would afford information and help to the uninitiated to discorer the means of promoting the growth of silk, and discover the cost of producing silk and grain, and the amount of profit thereon. Sericulture being a strange industry, that is a point that requires elucidation. The value of correct information about industries to which our population is strange can hardly be estimated too highly, and the Absence of information which will commend it to every individual must necessarily become the stumblingblock to progress of aeri-culture.-—I am, &c, T. Wambb.
