A Yinyard on Every Farm

Some day in the future the art and praC.
tee Of wine making will be as familiar and
universal among Us as the manufacture OF
cider is now, And the Juice Of the grape,
properly prepared, is greatly superior to that
Of the apple IN strength and healthgiving

jority Of farmers to provide ample supplies

lively triAing cost. A half acre in each
! hundred Of cultivated land, set with vines Of
/ hardy varieties, would be sufficient, # well
cared for, to furnish both fruit and wine for
the number Of people occupying, on the
! average, that area. Doubtless there are
| limited regions in our country where grapes
would not succeed-but the area is vast
| whore they would thrive to Il sufficient De
gree to make the growing of them for family
use satisfactory, although it might be far
| from profitable to raise them for market In
| any uelghbOrhOod or locality where a solita.
ny vine does well, it is certain that enough
others will thrive to supply the wants of the
population. BY such universal planting
! only can we hope to see the rural population
Of our land supplied with fruit and wine, for
the products Of the favored grape regions,
| hIl'lN lttF N'a'NAlt 10 thEtlNl On tAktU1tbtlE,

Let every farmer have his vineyard, as
well as his orchard, not planting with view
to selling his products, bat to consuming
them Ia his own family. 1t is pretty safe 10
assert that where apple trees will flourish,
some varieties Of grapes will do tolerably
well along side of them. The manufacture
of wine for home use should be conducted
almost precisely Nke that of cider. Have

full, and store in Il clean, cool cellar, and
your beverage will excel in grateful flavor
and hcalthful, eXhilarating effects, when the
hard labor and hot sun OF summer tempt its
trial. 1t is as easy and simple TO make good
wine as good cider The yield Of wine
would probably average four hundred gallons
per acre from well cultivated vineyards of
strong hardy varieties like the Concord,
Ives and Clinton.
