Air 'Treatment^-- Club Bates. 



AlE TEEATMENT. 



Geo. Husmann, Esq. : 



Dear Sir: — In your December num- 

 ber, page 369, your correspondent D. 

 W. T., on "air treatment," no doubt 

 unintentionally errs, if he states the 

 cost of apparatus to be $200 ; for $25 

 pays for pump, block tin pipe, and 

 hose, to work wine in casks of 40 to 

 100 gallons. Larger pumps, etc., to 

 operate on must, cider, etc., in tanks 

 or casks of any size, to make 20 to 

 40,000 gallons per month, cost only 

 §45. Such apparatus are at present 

 furnished by the patentee, to ensure 

 their proper construction, and to save 

 vexation, time and money to those 

 first using the process, though he don't 

 deal in the ai*ticles. For no ajjparu- 

 tus of a certain construction is pat- 

 ented, but only the mode to ferment, 

 germinate, purify or improve, by cur- 

 rents of air — or other gases — which 

 the patentee recommends to employ, 

 for fermentation in a divided state, to 

 ensure success. An air pump admits 

 the use of pure air from without; the 

 block tin pipe, bent to suit, with fine 



perforations for some length, the ter- 

 mination stopped, has as yet been 

 found most convenient to introduce 

 and remove by the bung-hole of a 

 cask, is cheap and expeditious to han- 

 dle — more so than D. W. T.'s pro- 

 posed arrangement, begging his par- 

 don ; faucets to each cask will be 

 found objectionable. Any informa- 

 tion on the subject is cheerfully and 

 freely given by the patentee to all ap- 

 plicants : as well to those employing 

 the process free for family use, as to 

 manufacturing parties charged; for he 

 wishes to have it fully understood and 

 intelligentl_y used, when the process 

 can not fail to give favorable re- 

 sults. 



Yours very truly, 



E. d'Heureuse,
