Sulphuring and refrigeration in w^ine making, F. Colston and E. Delorme 

 (Prug. Afir. ct \ it. {Ed. VEst), 28 {1907). Nos. 8, pp. 237-2J,5 ; 'J. pp. 267- 

 273). — Wine-nialving experiments in Tunis are reported. The best results were 

 obtained by the use of about 40 gm. of sulphurous acid per hectoliter of must. 

 This retarded fermentation for 3 to 5 days, or until the free sulphurous acid 

 was reduced to less than 5 gm. per hectoliter. Equally good results were 

 obtained with sulphur fumes, potassium metabisulphite, and sodium bisulphite. 

 The cost is considered the most important considerati(m as to which form of 

 sulphur to use. The relative cost of 40 gm. of sulphurous acid when sulphur, 

 sodium bisulphite, and potassium metabisulphite were used was proportion- 

 ately 1 : 13 : 24.
