Whereas in Languedoc, Provence, and likewise in many parts of Italy, the peasant has perhaps only a low-roofed cottage, with one or two rooms at the most for his family to sleep, dress their vfctuals, and keep their worms in ; and besides, he is obliged to purchase his mulberry leaves of the nobility and gentry, who receive a considerable part of their revenue from the sale of them. In many parts of Italy, for instance, the poor man gives a moity of his profits to the rich, only for the leaves ...which he gathers on his grounds, which must be a great discouragement to him. The production of silk will but little interfere with the other labors of the planter in Georgia, The whole business of it is completed withm three months. A man with his son, ot a servant, may, without much trouble, gather leaves suflScient for as many ^brms as he can keep. His wife and daughter, or a servant maid, may feed and attend the worms, as they are within doors. A Piedmontese family are settled in the colony only to instruct the people, and their children, in the care of the worms, and in the art of winding off the silk, which must be done early from the balls, as these are apt to decrease in their weight and value by being neglected any time.
