of mulberry trees, parPcuIuiiy ti.e moras

purpose alone. A hundred acres of morus
muiticaulis trees could be planted with less
expense than it could be Weil seeded in grass,
ovea if grass would live there, and the pas.
turagc from them would be fully equal, if
not more, than it would be from grass; bosides
tnc lo'iagc would not be liable to injure
during the summer drouths, but would
rather be improved by the dry atmosphere i
and hot climate of the south. If a planter
were to plant 10,003 cuttings in the spring
of 1839, on an acre ; in the spring ot 1840,
he could plant at Last ten aeivs;- and in
the spring of 184C, ho could plant one hun- j

The motto in the construction ol

The cocoonery is IdO long by oil

two stories, each 10 1-U l\. high.
About 03 it. in each of tlie stoii-.'s are j

iiie v.o.ms to ascend iO die undersiocof

It is generally admitted, that it is neces y
to remcve the larvae from their litter,

isfor in using such mating, af.er

Jdie, but not on the sidi s of the netting
lie en ly fur the larvae to crawl up-w-and
ien litey are largo enough to do so, they

tins latter plan is pursu< d, the object is
