Still another source of iiicoine is in making pure wines. Grapes, 

 currants and blackberries all make fine wine with very little trouble or 

 expense. A very nice wine is made of rhubarb and is preferred by some 

 to wine made of fruit, and it is easily made. 



Last, but not least, comes the old-fashioned apple butter, and while 

 it certainly requires the patience of Job it does not need the wisdom of 

 Solomon. Pure cider vinegar is always a salable article and can be made 

 of the unsalable apples and if not sold will l)e in demand another season 

 for the above mentioned pickles.
