THE GENESEE FARMER. 



A TREATISE ON SORGHUM WINE 



BECIPE FOR MANUFACTURING 



OF which so much has been said in the agricultural and local 

 papers of the State, is now offered for sale. 

 I have now matured my plans, by which I will dispose of 

 Individual, Manufacturers, County and State 

 Rights, 



to all who may desire them. 



Sorghum Wine has taken the country by surprise ; not only on 

 account of its production from this plant, but of its superior 

 quality. Such a product has Bever been thought of until its in- 

 vention by the sut-scriber. 



The Wine has been examined at the State Sorghum Conven- 

 tion of Ohio, January 7, 1862, and highly commended. It has 

 been exhibited to wine connoisseurs in the cities of Columbus, 

 Cincinnati, Springfield, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, 

 Baltimore and Washington. It has not only surprised them, but 

 received their unqualified commendation. It has been used by 

 Physicians in cases of sickness with entire satisfaction, because 

 of its purity and healthfulness. About one barrel of it has been 

 distributed to dyspeptics, all of whom, except those whose dis- 

 ease had assumed a chronic form, have given harmonious testi- 

 mony of its beneficial effects, some of whom have been restored 

 to health by the use of a few gallons. 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The following are a few of the many commendations which I 

 could give. The first is from Hon. William B. Hubbard, of 

 Columbus, O., President of the United States Agricultural Socie- 

 ty, held annually at Washington, D. C 



Columbus, March 31, 1862. 



Rev. A. Mterb — Dear Sir : The sample of Sorghum Wine, 

 left by you with me, has been submitted to several good wine 

 judges who have visited my house, and, wiihout exception, has 

 met with decided commendation. Most of them pronounce the 

 aroma, or fragrance, of your Wine that of the Sherry, the minor- 

 ity that of the Madeira. It is certainly a fair Wine, and destined, 

 no doubt, from the ease and cheapness of its manufacture, to be- 

 come an item of value to the manufacturer and cultivator. 



Tours truly, W. B. HUBBARD. 



The following is from Mr. D. M. Cook, of Mansfield, Ohio, In- 

 ventor and Patentee of Cook's Portable Evaporator : 



Mansfield, O., March 15, 1862. 

 Rev. A. Myers— Dear Sir: I have used your Wine, made 

 from the Sorghum juice, and [I heartily endorse the fact that 

 your Sorghum Wine is most delicious, and that it would be diffi- 

 cult to distinguish it from the best Madeira Wine. 



Hoping that you will not fail to introduce your work on Sor- 

 ghumJas also your Wine to the public benefit, 



I am truly your most obedient, D. M COOK. 



This Wine is a Mild Stimulant and NOT Intoxicating
