Bay VINE CULTURE AND WINE MAKINd.-
Mr. Alfred Spccr, Of PasGsic, Il. j., 50 long
and fsvorably known SO tho vino man o. Nov
Jersey, expects n larger yield OF grape: this
year than usual and has reduced the price CT
the roach of the poorer families who need Il pne
and rich wine for medicinal purposes. Nj.
Speer's mode of farmenting and keeping
his wine differs from the usual methods. This
is the reason why it is So much superior in quail,
ity but it requires four years management and
changing of temperature in order to make such
perfect fine wine as this is: tho knowledge OF
changing 10 various temperatures at different
times, and at the right tune, is where be has the
advantage Of getting so rich wine without the
USE of liquor. Large quantities OF Speer's Fort
Grape Wine have been ordered to South Amer
lea and even 10 London and Paris by Europ.
cans Physicians recommend it as superior 10
most Of the European wine. 1t is dealt 10
largely by druggists. 1T Daily Express. 1t
