scheme was a failure.

8ilk worms are reared in Italy whera-'
ever mulberry trees can grow. Tending:
the worms and picking the leaves girs
employment to many persons. It is a
tedious and arduous labor, for the worms
are ravenous in their appetite, and must
be watched night and day during: the
entire pupa period before entering the
cocoon. -
The leaves are plucked either early in the
morning or after three in the afternoon.
This work is generally done by children,
who gather them in baskets and bring
them to the house.
From the time the eggs are hatched
until the moth leaves the cocoon isabout
two months, and if they are not con-
stantly supplied with food they will
wander away in search of their favorite
diet. Every member of the family takes
his or her turn as guard. © All the watch-
ing, hard work and weariness are for-
gotten when the cocoons are fine and «
good price paid for them. : Sometimes
