There appears TO BE very general mis-
conception among TIE farming community
in rsla,ioo to tie provision Of the law re-
lstine to the Manufacture Of cider and DO.
nestle wines, made from grapes or currants-
croduced within the bOrders Of the State
We have heard many condemn the law. who;
were Iaboring under the misspprehe nsion'
that cider and domestic wines were subject
10 too severe restrictions. such as would
greatly cripple the culture Of the orchard
and the VINEYARD.
We subjoin the second section of the law,
from which it will be seen that the restfic-
TORS npon the manufacture and sale OF said
article are by no means oppressive, and only
designed to prevent the abuse thereof, BY
persons not interested in the growth of the
grape and the apple. by tradicking in wines
and cider in alipphng dram shop manner:
SEC Q. NJ provision OF this act shall be
construed to forbid the making OF cider IRON
apples. or wine from gra pes, curra nts. or 9TH
er fruit. grown and gathered in this State oy
the manufacturer, or the sale thereof by him,
but such manufacturer. or other person on
his behalf, sh q u not sell less then three gal
Ions at any one sale. or TO any one person;
and all sold at any one sale shall be saken
away at the same time. Any other ma Hu-
facture Of cider or wine shall be deemed 10
be unlawful. except as herein provided.
