The Road to Veritihn Mulberry Wealth Plan
The Silk Culturist argues that wealth from mulberry trees is mathematically certain. A 20 year projection shows 30,000 trees yielding cocoons worth at least 25 cents per pound, with yearly leaves and cocoons building capital and interest, promising a growing estate for a borrower who starts with 300 and plots the land as security.

Deep plowing discussed for shoal and loam soils
The author argues soil nature and subsoil dictate depth with loam or cand land suitable for deeper plowing, suggesting seven to eight inches. Benefits include better manure incorporation, smoother work with smaller tools, and potential twelve tons of sward manure per acre saved, but deeper plowing requires more manure and can delay corn maturity.
Deeper plowing urged to aid wheat and farmers
A Boston Atlas excerpt argues for deeper plowing to improve wheat yields and align with farmers’ diverse crops. It notes that stronger teams are needed and criticizes the ill effects of depose banks on currency, highlighting a sailor’s tale of bad exchange rates under the new system.
