Sciences, from M. Boucharett, on the culture of the vine, and the fa- 

 brication of wine. The author gives hints as to the kinds of vine pro- 

 per to different soils, and the mode of cultivating them ; and speaks 

 also of various other vegetable productions from which wine might be 

 made. The melon, he says, is one of the best ; it yields an excellent 

 white wine, which will keep for several centuries, and, properly cul- 

 tivated, may be made to render a handsome profit.
