HIKUUAUftft win *2,“Rural (Horn M. L» Dunlap) thus de-scribes the manner in which James Wake-man, of Cottage Hit!, makes rhubarb wine, which he (Rural) pronounces “much superior to any we have heretofore met with.”M In the absence of a press to extract the juice, Hr. IV. boiled the stalks in a common cookstove boiler, using two quarts of water to a boiler full of stalks. The stalks are veiy juicy, and after boiling, require no pres-ingj they are merely left to drain ; to each gallon of juice add two pounds of sugar, and placo m a barrel to ferment; after fermenting it should be corked tight.— Three pounds of sugar make it too strong jn alcohol. {» using, add half water. It is possible that the boiling is much better than pressing after all, and may account for the more mild, wine-like flavor of this sample. It is certainly worth trying; it willpost but little to make the experiment.”— Prairie Farmer.
