wide. The cost of manufacturing run
from Sl2 to S96 per dozen Mr., Wood
is as yet undesidcd as to making them
here or at some other point. We UNI

YITICULTURAL NOTES
From the Chief Executive Officer OF the
State Commission.

StHte COMMISSION.
Among notes recently prepared by Sir.
Wetmore, Chief Executive State yittcult-
ural Officer Of California, are the following
concerning raisins, and experiments in the
use Of electricity in winc-making:
The use ofthe saccharometeriu determin-
ing the necessary sweetness to produce
good raisin, must necessarily come into
vogue il We are 70 accomplish uniform and
valuable results. How much sugar there
should be in the juice Of 9 Muscat grape, st
the time II is picked, III order 10 make q
good raisin, has not yet been satisfactorily
determined, but this much ought 20 be APP
parent after q little reflections In Irving
The raisius the juice becon,,. Condensed
the Watery part eYapora..es nnd q syrup Of
natural grape sage remains. The less
sugar there IS IN the juice the drier the
raisin VIII appear to be when it is thor
oushiy cured, owing to theabsence Of such
sugar, ana the more likely il is 10 spoil
when ii encounters moist atmosphere, rs it
is known that condensed grape juice con-
tanning very large percentage, say 70 or
SO per cent, of sugar will not ferment.
All good raisins may therefore properly be
called sugar cured, although they depend
solely upon the natural sugar OF their own
| juice. That peculiar juciness that is looked
| for III good rasin cannot be obtained from
! grapes which are deficient in sugar, because
! in order to dry Them sufficiently to make
| them keep well there is not sufficient left
Of liquid matter TO make them palatable.
| Frequent illustrations have occurred 10
| show the importance of allowing the Mus
| cat grape TO become sufficiently ripe
before ii is picked for drying. In
! l.. l.
served that where they have
| picked their grapes two weeks earlier
than their neighbors, their raisins have
| been thoroughly cured the soonest. 1t
may therefore he laid down as q principle
that only a thoroughly ripe grape with q
suffiCiency of sugar can be used to make a
good raisin, and also inferentially, that
| only those raisins produced from such
| grapes will keep we'll when subjected to
| climatic changes. The use Of an artificial
| dryer to cure raisins which are deficient in
sugar will never overcome all the diff
| culties which have been experienced BY
raisin curers, although they may convert
/ grapes, otherwise unsuited to raisin- max
{ ing, into a merchantable product TO be sold
| promptly, and with care not 10 subject
| Inem to moist climates. Such raisins, how
ever. are fit only for cooking purposes and
| not for dessert.
Arrangements have just been made with
! DR.. Fraser 10 conduct under the auspices
| OF the Commission, in this city, series or
| experiments with a view 10 determining
possible results from the application OF
| electricity and magnetism in wine-making,
and maturing operations. Among the sew
eral problems that have been put down for
possible solution is the effect of the mag
netic current on fermentation. As soon as
definite results are obtainable reports win
be given 10 The public.

Is 1t Not Singular

That consumptives should be the least ap-
prehensiye Of their own condition, while
all their friends are urging and beseeching
them to be more careful about exposure
and overriding. 1t may well be considered
one Of the most alarming symptoms of the
disease, where the patient is reckless and
will not believe that he is in danger.
Reader if you are in this condition, do not
neglect the only means of recovery. Avoid
exposure and fatigue, be regular in your
habits and use faithfully of DR.. Pierce's
