A Mr. Botsford, of Roxbury, Connecticut, has
succeeded in constructing machinery for the pre-
paration of sewing silk, twist, organzine tram,
&c., from which the happiest results may be anti
cipated to silk producers. According to his ar
rangement, machine of "a spindles will COM
plete servings fast as eight girls can reel, and
one doubling machine Of the cost Of $5, will an
swer for sixty. He proposes to furnish reel
and doubling machine in one frame at the cost Of
eight dollars, including set Of spoos. The
same gentleman has also invented cast-iron
stove and pan for the purpose Of keeping the
water used, at proper temperature. The whole
apparatus, comprising reel, double spinner, both
|of them combined or built separately, stove and
pan, reel to put it into skeins for marking, set of
spools, &C., will cost but $50. The rapdty with
which the silk culture has advanced in public es-
TEEN, and the extensveness of its introduction
throughout the country, induce belief that in the
course of very few years the commodity will
become one of our staple articles. The migration
to the West in search of fresh lands to cultivate.
has already produced an effect which nothing can
counteract but the Introduction of new products to
supply the place of those which are becoming
lost to us. OF these new products we know Of
none SO desirable in every point of view as silk.
