CORRESPONDENCE.

Sericulture,

(To tho Editor.)

SiR.-Reading last night's "SMB.I' I nnd you misunderstood part of what I said about pilk-culturo in my letter of the 6th instant, which you were kind enough to publish. I do not""acknowledge," at all, "that inves tors would bo exposed to the imminent chance of failure and the abandonment of the money sunk." Nothing of the kind. I havo full confidence in the success of silk culture. The only drawback at present is that wo have no suitable mulberry trees. If the thing is to be introduced, we must naturally start by planting trees. It takes some time till they are grown up. When wo have once the trees, a stock of healthy eggs, and, if tho matter is managed by competent men, it will undoubtedly be a success. I can't understand why you should insist that silk-culture should be tried by itself. In the field where the mul berry trees prow, you see, in France and Italy, wheat,;maize, oats, &c. We propose to combine these industries, not because we are afraid that every one of them could not stand on its own logs, but because they can very easily bo done together. While the mulberry and olive trees grow wo shall be able to show returns from other sources, and if some of the plants do not well in one year, the others will. If seri culture was so much in need of being pulled through as you say, don't you think it would have been abandoned by the French people long ago? As Mr Federli has accepted your challenge to show the profit ableness of sericulture, I need not enlarge , any further on the subject. I must appeal to your sense ef fairness to grant me space to explain that the quotation given in your leader is for fresh cocoons, and not dry cocoons. A coceon, with a living chrysalis in it, is a fresh cocoon. It takes 12 to 15 pounds of fresh cocoons to make one pound of raw silk. These cocoons have togo through a process by which the chrysalis is killed. Then they are put on trays and left to dry. In a few weeks they are reduced to about one-third of their original weight. Such cocoons are dry cocoons. Reeling dry cocoons, it takes only about four pounds to make one pound of raw Bilk, instead of twelve. It is evident that the cocoons ex portod from Hew Zealand will have to be dry ones, because, when they are sent away, they have to be pressed together in bales. Now I come to the point. You state the cocoons realised from one acre would fetch only £12 or £16, and the quantity of cocoons at 160 pounds. But theEe 1601bs are dry cocoons, so they must be multiplied by the price for dry ones, and not by the price for fresh ones. I think Mr Federli's price of 8s per lb for dry cocoons is rather exceptional. Let us take an average of, say, ss. Well, 4801bs fresh cocoons, at Is 8d alb, £40 ; 1601bs dry cocoons, at 5s alb, £40, but not £12 16s, as you state. Another case. To find out the cost of lib of raw silk (without working expenses), the price of dry cocoons mußt be multiplied by the quantity of dry cocoons required for lib of raw material, and not, as you did, with tho quantity of fresh cocoons. This is the way to calculate it: 121b fresh cocoons at Is Sd, 20s per lb of silk; or 41b dry cocoons at ss, 20s per lb of Bilk; but not as you say—£4 16s perlb. It is idle to say a thing will not pay if it has not been tried. Such statements do no good to anybody, but a great deal of harm to many. —Yours, &c, G. A. Schocii. l'.S.— Replying to "Silk Throwster" in to-night's Star, I must hrst express my surprise that he should be under the neces sity to ask another silkman questions about this industry. Secondly, I must respectfully inform that I do not know what entitles him to ask mo questions through the mekium of a newspaper. I do not see the fun of giving him or anybody else the benefit ot my ex perience without a return for it. I did not come to New Zealand t4 disseminate know ledge about sericulture. A gentleman has been sent by the Government to this part of the colony for this yery purpose. If " Silk Throwster's" knowledge in the matter is deficient, I must ask him to address his questions for the present to another quarter. I shall be glad to have a private interview with " Siik Throwster" if he will oblige me with his name. If we are able to come to terms I shall bo delighted to put my prac tical experience of many years at his dis posal.—G.A.S.

[The simplest way of meeting our cor respondent's first objection is by quoting tho passage alluded to from his own letter. He says: —"Cultivating only silk, they (investors) would have to wait for several years. The first crops might not turn out -atisfactory, or tho markets in Europe might be unfavourable. Well, the in vestors would most likely drop the matter, or at any rate lose confidence in it. For this very reason, it is proposed to combine sericulture with the production of wine, oil, oranges, lemons, hops, tobacco, &c." To the second objection, we would eimply reply that, while Mr Schoch admits that the 8s a pound quoted by Mr Federli is 3s too much for even dried cocoons, it is entirely an assumption on his part that dried and not fresh cocoons were intended in the calculation referred to. Every other element in it distinctly implies fresh cocoons. For example: Mr Federli states tho quantity of grain at 2 ounces. Now, Dr. tfro, quoting the best authorities on seri culture, says: " Eighty pounds French (88 Eng.) of cocoons are the average produce from one ounce of eggs." The cocoons in tended here must be fresh ones, for he values them at 1 franc 25 centimes per pound. Two ounces of eggs (the quantity named by Mr Federli) would give exactly the 160 pounds of cocoons in nis calculation. Again, in tho statement under notice, Mr Federli says: " 3,000 pounds of leaves will feed enough worms to produce 1601bs of cocoons," and ho allows only the cost of these 3,000 pounds in his estimate for mul berry leaves. Now, Dr. Ure states that " one ounce of grain requires for its due de volopmont into cocoons abput 15cwt of mul berry leaves." This again would exactly correspond with the 3,000 pounds for two ounces of graini specified in Mr Federli's estimate. These figures are indeed indis pensable to the entire calculation, which starts out with one acre of ground carrying 500 mulberry trees, yielding five pounds of leaves per tree. If Dr. Ure is right, our former figures are fully re-affirmed, and unless Mr Schoch can prove that Dr. Ure is wholly wrong, and that two ounces of eggs will develop 480 pounds of fresh cocoons, upon a consump tion of 3,000 pounds of mulberry leaves, his reply, though very ingenious, tumbles down like a house of cards. If we were even ta grant that the 160 pounds of cocoons signified dried cocoons, equal to 480 pounds of fresh cocoons, it would, according to Dr. Ure (who quotes, on the authority of Bonafous, the daily consump tion of leaves by the worms at each stage), have required 9,000 pounds of mulberry leaves to develop them. And these, at* the rate charged in Mr Federli's balance-sheet, would have cost £67 10s. Deducting proceeds from cocoons (Mr Schoch's own price), £40, there would remain a loss of £27 10s without reckoning anything for grain or cost of rearing the worms.—Ed. E.S.]

THE SALVATION ARMY.

Opening of the New Barracks.

Tiie handsome and commodious hall erected in Albert-street for the use of the Salvation Army was formally opened yesterday. Major Pollard and other officers of the Army had arrived from the South to take part in the proceedings. , The first service took place at seven in the morning, and this was followed by service at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The two latter wore so crowded that there was scarcely standing room. These services were conducted by Major 'and Mrs Pollard, Staff-Captain Wright, Captain and Mrs Graham, Captain Francis, and Captain Patrick, The proceedings were very orderly. During tho course of the day the soldiers paraded the streets of the city, the new band under tho conductor ship of Mr Little (late of the City Band being a feature of the display. In the even ing a teameeting took place in St. James's Hall. The attendance was bo large that the tea drinkers had to be ac commodated in four relays. After a thorough fortification of the inner man. A general move was made to the new Bar racks, and this became so full that hun dreds were compelled to remain standing. The crowd was great, and the heat so op pressive that two fomales fainted. Ad dresses were delivered by Major and Mrg Pollard, Captain Wriget, Mr F. A. White, the Rev. Mr Potter, Mr Thomas (American evangelist). Mr Smith read a re port of the building fund, which showed that the price of the building was £2,600. £1,000 had already been collected, and of the balande it was proposed to raise £1,300 by mortgage and £200 by collec tions. "Canaries" were distributed amongst the audience, and a considerable amount was collected in this manner. The proceedings were successful in the highest degree. A description of the barracks has already appeared in these columns, but at the present time, the recapitulation of a few particulars concerning it will not be uninteresting. Tho building has a frontage of 47 feet to Albert-street, by a depth of 104 feet. The accommodation comprises a large assembly-room (99 feet by 43 feet 6 inches), entered from a vesti bule (27 feet by 7 feet) by three doorways, a central doorway (6 feet in width), and two side doorways (each 5 feet in width). At one end of this assembly-room are the apartments for the use of the chief and sub ordinate officers, which are each 10 feet 3 inches by S feet. At the other end are cloak and retiring rooms, on opposite sides, for males and females, and also a dwarf gailery and platform to seat two hundred persons. There is also a kitchen for the purpose of making preparations for tea meetings, etc. The building is well ven tilated and lighted, and, from an archi tectural point of view, is quite an ornament' to the city.

Anything so pathetic as the " last dying speech of the Tauranga '' Telegraph " has not come under our notice for some time. Hear the dying wail :—" We hope our efforts have not been vain ; for, like Bret Harte s Parson-' What'er we sot ourselves to do—We done our level best.'—But alas! fate and a bill of sale have been against us. Into the hands of the 'Buster1 we deliver tnee, oh Tauranga ! Would that thy fate were less awful. But Poverty is impotent, and we must needs bow to all-powerful Mammon and say, Adieu !"
