BIGGEST CASK EVER BUILT.
1t Holds Enough Wine TO Give Nine
Million Persons a Glass Each.

Fresno, Cal, April S.-The largest cask
in the world has recently been completed
at St George vineyard, located at Matter
moro 1t contains 81 900 gallons, or
enough to give 100000 persons each an
ordinary wine glass full of its contents.
1t is built Of the very finest California red
wood, and in all the vast amount of lum-
Der used in constructing it there is not a
single flaw.
The object of building so large cask
is to keep on hand at the st. George vine
yard uniform supply of wine, the con-
tents of the cask being that wine of
which the most is sold. Several years ago
the necessity for something of this sort
became apparent. To build a cask of the
size referred to seemed an impoSsibility at
first, but after the ma tier was thoroughly
discussed the members of the vineyard
company made up their minds to try. So
the redwood forests of Humboldt county
were called upon to supply the necessary
lumber.
The selection of lumber for the cask was
TO ordinary task, for not more than one
stick in a dozen of those presented for
examination would do. 1t was an abso-
lutte necessity that the material be flaw
less At last enough lumber OF the very
first quality was found, and then the work
OF drying it, so that there would be not the
slightest danger of shrinkage began. 1t
required Just two years to complete this
task. The lumber ready, two entire trains
OF cars proved necessary to convey it to
the nearest point to the vineyard.
This lumber was amply Sufficient in
80 q
not exist in California. Think of build
ing constructed of redwood lumber which
was absolutely fIawless The finest house
on Mob Hill, in San Francisco, cannot
boast OF the quality that makes this wine
cask useful. The hoops that bind the cask
together are of finely tempered steel. In
the aggregate they would fill two large
freight cars and their total weight is
40 900 pounds. The cask towers to a
height of thirty feet. and is twenty-six feet
in diameter lifts contents could be placed
in unf5roken bulk in freight cars it would
take thirty of the biggest 10 hold them.
AS compared with other casks in which
the vineyard keeps it's vine, the proportion
is about the same as that of bunch of
grapes TO the parent vine. In fact, there is
only one wine easkin the world which can
he belegitimately compared with this giant of
California, and that is the great t1n OF
Heidelberg, Germany, which for century
and half has been famous wherever men
drank wine and Bnew from whence it tame.
The California eask was not constructed
with the fnteution of ogtdoing anyone,
but simply for business reasons. The differ
ence in size of these two tuns can best be
understood by considering the fact that
The times., 1897-04-11

the German cask holds $4,000 gallons and
the California cask 81 900, showing the
former to be less than half the size Of the
latter.
Considering the contents OF the cask from
the measurement of gallons, the idea OF
its immensely is not as fully Impressed as
when figuring on a basis OF lesser guam
titles. For instance the cask holds $685.
600 quarts, or 5000 pints, or 3,o04,-
600 gills. An ordinary glass OF wine is
about a third of gill, perhaps little
less. 7 his huge cask would h old a
sufficient quantity to permit 9,O12,o0o
to partake of glass of whatever brand
OF juice OF the grape filled it. Therefore,
if every inhabitant of the greatest five
cities of the United States should pass in
procession this huge redwood receptacle,
each might enjoy 1ibation therefrom.
Figuring the value Of the contents OF the
cask at the price 1t would be retaiIed at
in the States where wine is not made, the
total reached is 1901 200, so near a
million that it can without great stretch
ing be called a nIillion-dolIar cask. of
course the value of the contents in Cali
fornia does not approach the sum named,
for wine here is very cheap, indeed.
Even basing the selling price of the wine at
80 cents a gallon, however, a price that
will buy excellent wine in this State, tie
value of the casks contents would he
$4S, 500.
Looking at the wine from stiIl another
standpoint, quality being always tie
primal basis, the cask contains sufficient
TO fairly flood quite a section of the land
about 1t should it break, and the chances
are it would sweep along at first with
sufficient force to seriously affect sTnan
buildings which might be in its pathway.
Certainly 1t would drown any human be-
ing who happened to be in the way OF the
flood While the exact number of tons of
grapes whose juice is required to make
enough wine TO fill the cask has never been
estimated, the proprietors of the vineyard
say that it would run into hundreds OF
thousands of pounds.
The commercial value OF such large
cask lies n the fact, previously stated.
that it enables the vineyard to have on
hand at all times very large uniform
supply Of wine. Byuniform supplyis meant
a quantity in whose quality there is no
variation. Wine from the same grapes
and from the identical wine press, If
the same period oftime wilInotbe The same
in quality when opened. There are many
reasons why this is So but the principal
one is that the process of fermentation is
never the same in two casks, and the slight
atmospheric influence which even the
tightest built cask is susceptible to varies
in every case.
b. having such an enormous cask as the
one described, it is rendered possible To
have an immense quantity OF wine, which,
if bottled as certain brand, will be
found exactly the same wherever it is
drunk, always excepting an occasional
bottle which may have been imperfectly
sealed through accident. These facts show
that while Capitalization may not be de-
sirabie in governmental affairs, as so
many persons are fond OF saying nowadays.
