nets. In some of the wine countries in! Lurone, there nre wine merchants, who , buy the grapes anil make the wine ; in this country we have men bants who buy w heat and get it manufactured into flour; and others who buy ho: and manufacture them into lard, bacon and sausages Why could we not have merchants who would buy grape3 and manufacture them into wine and brand ?

I In January. 18.25, I issued a circular, making certain enquiries on the subject of the vine I intended to have published the j result of those inquiries before now, and I , j ought to have done so, but the ill state of j my health and other cilt urrtstances have hitherto prevented me. I shall, however.

i do it in some shape or other bclore long, if

my hr alth will admit ol it. The rearing of the silk worm will lie introduced in this country more rapid!) than

, the culture of the vine, tor the reason that ! it suits the genius of our population better, j In this business they will be enabled to en-1 jov the fruit of their labor soon after the ' labor is performed; for in about sixty days I after hatching they can have raw silk to sell j to the merchants; who until there shall be ; ! silk m mufaetorics established in this coun- !

j try, will find it a convenient article to j j make remittances 1 3 the eastward; nny, j to Kngl ami. From an experiment made j i here under my observation last season, on a i i small scale, (perhaps three or four hundred

j worm-.) and another this season on about ! ten thousand worm-. I am certain this coun- ! try is admirably calculated to produce iu jj mense quantities of silk of an excellent' SI quality, and that too from the native imil- ' bery tree. In the course of those experljj mnts the wotms were confided to a little ;! girl about ten years of age, who had never een otie before; not being attended to by ; her with an view of gain, the poor worn?

i were frequently neglected; when they got j to lie of a certain size the were socioudjj ed w ithin their shelv es that they v. ere one 'j on top of another, and very irregularly fed; yet n h wai their healthy and thriving I condition throughout the term of their I lives, that scarcelv an of tlum have been ; -ick or died of a premature d'. ath. The A l ne-rican mulberry tree, on the leaves ot ' which tliese worm were fed, abound in our fret ; in many daces in this county (Su it-

zerlaiid,) there are trees enough within a Mii.dl compass, toatFu'd leave s to prt.dtnc v early even large quantites of silk.
