the proof is increased. Corn whisky
il made 10 a similar manner The
I" bur" or wort IL prepared by mixing
the meal with warm water at 1855 il il
then run of from the mash tub into
cooling vats, then about 70 per cent. Of
rye -four aud malt Is added, the whole

when it Is ran off and distilled.
A bushel Of corn will yield 5 gallons OF
whisky the distiiier obtains about 81
gallons. Rye whisky is made by adding
rye to the corn, and wheat whisky Os
the addition Of wheat. By r~ectifying
and teaching the distilier eau evade the
tax BY deceiving the revenue officers a.
to the quantity actually manufactured.
Another method is 70 convert whisky
into burning fluid which is done by
adding from 8 to5 per cent. Of turpentine

being distilled, which gives the article q
Whitish appearance and smell Of turpen-

reeiihcation the article Is restored. All
experience teaches that excessive taxes
cannot be collected, and that q moderate
rate Of duty produces the most revenue.
