A New Discovery in the American 

 Wine Industry 



The American Department of Agri- 

 culture announces that there has been 

 discovered at Washington a method for 

 concentrating grape juice which prom- 

 ises to be the greatest discovery in tlie 

 wine industry since Pasteur discovered 

 tlie metliod of preserving light wines 

 for the French government. 



This new method is altogether novel, 

 as it consists not in boiling down the 

 Juice, but in freezing the juice. The ice 

 is then cracked into small pieces and 

 whii-led in a centrifugal machine; by 

 this means all the sugar and thick 

 syrup is separated from the ice, which 

 is almost pure water. By this means 

 a gallon of the syrup is reduced to one 

 quart. 



A peculiar phenomenon incident to 

 this process is the fact that the cream 

 of tartar crystallizes out with the ice 

 and makes the acidity of the juice much 

 less than normal. This is particularly 

 true of the Concord grape juice, which 

 has a large percentage of tartar in it. 



This new method of freezing the 

 juices to concentrate them preserves in 

 a wonderful degree the natural purple 

 color of the juice and makes the drink 

 very much more beautiful in its rich 

 purple appearance and more sparkling. 



WTien the concentrated juice is ster- 

 ilized afterward by heating it keeps in- 

 definitely as a thick syrup. It can be 

 used at soda fountains, as flavorings 

 for cookery and other dietary pur- 

 poses. The government hopes to ex- 

 ploit this latest discovery on a com- 

 mercial basis this year, as it promises 

 not only to give a fine qualify of 

 goods from the best grapes, but also 

 the freezing method takes out the 

 "rough" taste of many cheaper grades 

 and gives a very fine article from the 

 cheaper and coarser varieties. — Scien- 

 tific American. 



A Few Canning Hints 

 Have the canning plant properly in- 

 stalled before the fruits and vegetables 

 begin to ripen. See that the cans, 

 labels, cases, solder, flux, etc., are or- 

 dered immediately. Be sure to order 

 the hole and cap cans, and specify in 

 your order that you want solder- 

 hemmed caps. Order the enamel cans 

 for fruits if you wish to preserve the 

 color, flavor and quality of the product. 

 Tlie soldering irons should be properly 

 tinned if you wish to do a smooth job 

 of soldering. This is done by heating 

 the irons, then filing them until they 

 are bright. The irons are now dipped 

 in a zinc solution, then rubbed in sal- 

 anmioniac lo which solder has been 

 added. When the cans are placed in 

 the retoits keep up the pressure as rec- 

 ommended, and do not record the time 

 until the tliermometer registers the de- 

 gree of heat recommended for handling 

 the various i)roducts. For detailed in- 

 structions write for the Canning Bulle- 

 tin, No. 82, Idaho Experiment Station, 

 Moscow, Idaho. — C. C. Vincent, Horti-
