BLACKBERRY WINE.-Now is the time to
mako this delicious AID healthinl beverage.
A patriotic lady, who has been making Wine
for the soldiers, t(iod bless her.! furnishes
the Athens Banner with the mode she adopts.
Instead of following The old plan Of squeez-
ing with the' hand aud straiuing through
cl,.h, she takes keg, sets it upon the end.
puts straw in the bottom, snt after pouring
The berries in, pounds them with wo'den
pestle, and the juice comes out Of hole in
The bottom Of the keg, perfectly strained and
pure.
We have had many inquiries as to the
smallest quantity of sugar that will presefve
tie wine. The lady alluded to above is Of
the opirion tEEt the pure juice will keep
without any sugar, and she is putting up
some in that way. There should be no water
used in making; the wine fermented as usual.
Others think that q pound to the gallon is
necessary 10 preserve it. Cur readers must
sct npon their own judgment. II lie vine
should sour, however, it will make good
vinegar. which will be almost es valuable as
as the wine.
