Line 7: Line 7:
The castor plant's leaves in its first two years of life are double the size of those that it produces at an older age. They are also more cartilaginous in texture and greater in quantity, so I imagine that for the maturation of the Cintia Silkworm, the large, younger leaves are more suitable than the subsequent ones. To maintain the plant's large leaves it is necessary at first to cut the tops that have flowered, since in the production of the filuselli, it is very important that they do not stick together if one wants them to produce even more good leaves in a shorter period of time.

I believe that by take the appropriate precautions when planting the Ricinus, Egypt could have three silk coconi products from India at the beginning of the year. In fact, producing them could be accomplished in the winter months and this way there will be the advantage of providing new eggs to Europe for the first cultivation, which is done in the spring since I hear that in the winter there, they do not hold up and they die. Egypt could have a new silk product if, however, it finds support from the people who preserve their inert assets to their own detriment.

== Obituary for Ardilio Carmelo ==
Our readers will excuse us, we hope to acknowledge in a few words of praise the memory of a man who, if he did not devote his life to glorious endeavors, he sacrificed it for the good of humanity and for his country.
Coming from the community, and endangered in 1831 by all of the political turmoil in Italy, Ardilio Carmelo unhesitatingly brought to the altar of his homeland as tribute not only his blood, but his essence and the future of his family. He was firstly forced to emigrate to Constantinople and later to Egypt.
Certain that his work could no longer, for circumstances that would be too painful to discuss, be useful for the independence of his country, he dedicated himself generously–with a philanthropy that unfortunately has few examples–to console and help with the misfortunes of not only his fellow citizens, but of strangers, too.
And to talk only about how much we, and all of the people who have been here a long time, have seen, we remember how he, without waiting to be asked for help, would search for misfortune in order to aid and comfort it secretly. And without a pump, like during the epidemic that afflicted this Capital in two different periods, in the moment when the bravest were doubtful, he fearlessly approached the troubled victims of the horrible disease at their bedside and brought them the consolatory words of a friend, the support of art, and the comfort of religion.
He was struck by a slow disease in which his end was foreseen and regretted by everyone, and his lack of strength no longer allowed him to continue his philanthropic mission. Without fear, and almost with joy, he watched his final hours approach.
On his modest tomb that contains his remains, all of the good people will shed a tear.
