1 66 Mr. Ddahigarrc on V/hitc Mulberry Hedges, 



You may remark, that after the firfl leaves of mulberry 

 have been employed in the fpring to feed the filk worms, the 

 other leaves of the fall may be gathered •, and when dry, they 

 afford in the winter a good food to the cattle — above all to 

 the cows who give milk. 



The objection will be, the difficulty of getting thofe young 

 mulberry plants in this country to make hedges with. They 

 will cofl fomething ; but they may be got from feverai 

 nurferies in New-Jerfey, and Long Illand. However, any 

 farmer not wifhing to go to that expence, may eafily raife 

 thofe plants from feeds, in the following way : 



Gather all the ripe berries fallen down under the white 

 mulberry tree : put them for two days in a dry place, where 

 they mufl be turned up and down, for fear they lliould be 

 heated : After which, you mufl vv-afh them with your hands 

 in a tub, pouring over fome water from time to time, in 

 order to fcparate the feed from the niuft. Let then the water 

 fettle for a quarter of an hour ; and all the ufelefs particles 

 floating over, will be taken out. You mud repeat the above 

 wafhing, till the feed is well difengaged and pure. The beft 

 feed being the heaviefl, will ftay always at the bottom of 

 the tub. 



This being done, fprcad ail the good feed to dry upon
