fure not to hurt the worm within. They count that a pound of cocons will yield an ounce of eggs. The cocons, thus threaded, they hang up or lay in a convenient room, that fo the papilions may come out, and make love to one another, and then lay their eggs on white paper laid there on purpose. FROM the remaining cocons they prefently either wind off the filk, or if they cannot do that (for it is not every body can do it) they either with the heat of the fun, or oven, or hot water, kill the worms in the cocons, fo that they may keep them without having them fpoiled by the worm, till they can get their filk wound. EIGHT pounds of cocons ufually yield one pound of filk. THE way of winding filk off from the cocons is a thing that cannot ot be taught without feeing; and there are but few amongst them that can do it well, it lying in a dexterity not eafy to be learnt, as they fay: they put the cocons in hot water, and fo ftirring them about with a kind of rod, the ends of the filk twires of the cocons ftick to it, which they laying on upon a turning reel draw off from the cocons, which lie all the while in the hot water; but the great skill is to have such a number of these fingle twires of the cocons running at a time, as may make the thread of filk which they compofe of a due bignefs; for in turning (which they do apace) many of the twires of the cocons break, and fo by degrees the filk thread, made of fundry of thefe drawn together, grows too little, and then the woman that is winding ftirs her rod or little beefom again with her left hand amongst the cocons, to get new ends of twires to add to the thread, which all this while keeps running. To know when to make this addition of new twires and in what quantity, fo as to keep an even thread all along, is the great skill of thefe winders; for they do it by guess, and keep the reel turning and the thread running all the while; for fhould they, as oft as is occafion, ftand ftill to count the twires or confider the thread, and how many new twires were fit to be added, it would be an endless labour, and they could never make wages. THE engines alfo that they ufe for twifting this filk afterwards, are too curious to be defcribed, but by a model. I have feen one, where one woman has turned a hundred and thirty-four fpindles, and twifted as many threads at a time; and I have feen another, wherein two women going in a wheel, like that of a crane, turned three hundred and fixty. THEIR mulberry-trees, where they ftand near towns, yield them good profit; I have known the leaves of four white mulberry-trees (fome whereof were not very large) fold for a piftole, i, e.. between fixteen and Leventeen fhillings fterling.
