I have for several years kept Silk Worms and managed them through the whole pro cess, and therefore speak from practical knowledge. It is a fact, which outfit to be published and circulated through out this union, that one acre of land will produce in Silk more than' double the value that it will in any other produc tion whatever : and this too with less labor than the same land would require in the production of any other crop. It is stated, and I believe upon good au thority, that four acres of land planted with Mulberry near Boston, have sup plied food, for as maoyv Silk AVormsas made 420 pounds of Silk, worth" thre acres producing fourteen hundred and seventy dollars ; and all the labor was performed by four . girls, whose at tention was required but for a short pe riod in the year. Now where is the land "and whafelse iitlie article, that will afford such a product, with so lit tle labor t The .whole process is ex tremely simple, so much so, that chil dren and superannuated servants, areas capable of attending to it as any other person ; and I- wottldtrggeSt,-that"the occupants of our Poor Houses, and those of similar Institutions throughout the countrypcwild pttotbe 'flferOffMSff'.' profitably employed than in the culture of Silk. The farm attached to-our Aims-House would not only maintain the, paupers of tke City and County, but return a handsome revenue to the treasury. -- It is: hoped that thisr sugi gestion will receive the attention it de serves from the proper authorities," Tbe opinions as to the best mode of planting. and cultivating the Mulberry, are various. Either of the two follow ing, however, appears to the writer to possess all the necessary advantages "j Frst, sow tbe seed broad-cast, and the second year the young plant will befit for food for the Worms, when it may be mowed as wanted, like clover, and the whole of the shrub will be so tender that the worms will eat the greater part of it Second, sow the seed in drills, and allow the shrubs to attain the heisht of 1 three to lour leet, r.'h.ch will require three years when the leaves, together with the tender part of the branches, may be gathered, as wanted for Worms. kept from attaining too great a height, by cutting off the tot limbs, which may ibe used for feeding the Worms. The latter broeess admits of mhr7nil?:": . - e-f v- "t" vTirwve wnen gaiperea green, soon becrin and nurturing the younertrees4- Both , r rk r-"t 1 of these processes are adapted to exten sive establishments, and probably pro duce more Mulberry-foliage than the same ground would do if occupied by full grown trees, - besides saving the labor necessarily required by the latter in gathering the leaves. For small es tablishments, for farmers, and who hywWgre"lready growingir'fW grown trees may be used, the labor of gathering the leaves being, in theiF esse, the only objection to them. The White Mulberry j generally preferred, and probablymakeiUhelinestilkTlnouglj the common Ulack has been found to answer very well. , ' i ; Directions for managing the SILKl In the Spring, when the temperature is ai au- or upwards, ana the Wulberry leaves of the, size of silver dollar qr larger, bring out the eggs and lay them I1,, ' . a ' 1 t 1 tt dry, iry room, partiallr darkened In from four vto eight days the worms willTeave tjio .TJlXJbe.a - ,tijDgj - ... . : .. v . ... ... bout the size of tne smallest, of the li tie red ants that infest our houses.- " Im mediately procure a fewMulberry leave and lay them close beside Jhe Worms", taking care not to cover .lihe eggs with them, as there will be many not hatch ed which' the' leave .would .cool and probably prevent, certaioly retard in the process of hatching. As fast as the leaves become wilted, lay on fresh ones,' and once in three days remove the dry -leaves5n'ub$ enabled to do by laying the fresh' leaves beside the dry ones," when'tlWiWdrm will leave the latter and take to the for mer.' Fresh leaves will be : required three times a day for the first ' twenty days, after which they ought to be laid oo as of ten night; and - da jr as they ar? devoured or become dry, and after this time the 'dry ones need not be removed, as they will be so nearly consumed, and Worms will have-become so vigorous, that no injury will be derived by the Worms from them. The leaves must be free from wet and Tilth when given to the Worms. , ",. -. The weather ought to be pleasant and settled before the eggs are brought out for hatching. The room - must be free from tobacco smoke or other effluvium, and iersoiis must not be permitted to breathe on the worms, as they are very sensitive, and the human breath is very offensive even to worms "of a larger growth.". If a cold spell of weather happen, a little fire'must be kept jn ihe room , as also if it be verv damrwia the latter case, a little pulverized saltpetre, say a small thrnibjefcfll Should So srl Wed on a shovel of firecoals in the mid- dlo of the room. Care. must be taken to keep ants from the worms, as I have had full grown worms not only killed, but entirely devoured in one night by thecommoflliule 'V first a thousand worms will only require half a dozen leaves at a "time, which should be torn in pieces, the more widely to distribute them j after the twen tieth day, theyill eat a full" grown leaf eachjn ibe cou rse of Xhe day, and often more. JTou willfind it a great advanta je to give them as much as they can eat, nisbt ?n4Xtert fogt hey wilt begin to apin v the sooner for it. -"About the 6th," JOth, 16th and 32d days the worms will shed their sliius, at which times they appear stupid and sickly!

"Another mode is to gather small twigs, tucti as are used for stable broom's and weave them into little arbor rtrees, fee. and place the worms on them.1 Some erect these arbors.
