eral thing, during July, August and September
and not fter it has turned much red, and in
no case a ter it has begun to dry up and dead
en- nor after the least frost.
Thered berries should all be thrown out.
The He or black sumac, as it is called, is as
good as any.
1t may be wited in the sun, but must be cured
under cover, and not allowed to be burnt By
The sun or get wet, or be in such large quaint
ties as to heat in cur ipg-any of which destroys
its color and Strength and renders it yaluelsss.
1t should not be thrown on tight floor to cure,
but raised up so as TO let the ar get under it;
| and by shelying loosely much surface can be ob
| tanned in a small space, and the Sumac VIII
! cure faster. ali sumac should BE gathered at
leas tone month before 1t is sufficiently cured to
be brough in for So les and in bad weather even
a longer time nay Dc required TO properly dry
! it; for not only the leaf, but the stem too, mus
