WINE-MAKING IN TEXAs.-A letter to the
New Orleans Picayune, from Washington
county, Texas, July 10, speaks of the work,
then in progress, of gathering the wild grapes
for wine. The writer says =
"The wine made last season does not con-
tent me. 1t has rich color aud bouquet, and
peculiar and fine favor, and a good body !;
but it is intensely acid--yes, intensely is the
term This acidity L shall try 10 lesson great
ly in that now being made. The process of
making. as we pursue it, is simple enough.
The grapes are passed through one of Hick-
ok's cider mills tmade at Harrisburg, Penn,
and just the thing for the purpose), and passes
directly into the fermenting tub, whence it is
drawn off into barrels or casks, after ferlnent-
ing some 20 or so hours. There it remains for
time, when it is fined and racked off ready
for bottling and for use. There is not doubt
but that very Superior red wine can be made
from this grape Bat the process must be
welkHnderstood, and the different manipula-
lions properly gone through with"
A gentleman there from Madeira thinks col
onies should be established in Texas of many
who are now suffering in Madeira, who would
cultivate grapes upon the same terms they did
in that island before the disease attacked and
destroyed the vines-that is, giving the propri-
etor of the land one half of the must, and SELL
ing their half at a fixed rate.
