Their manner of breeding. VII. Their wars. VIII. Their enemies; with directions plain and easy, how to manage them, both in straw-hives and transparent boxes; so that with laying out but four or five pounds, in three or four years, if the summers are kind, you may get thirty or forty pounds per annum.
