.Method of preserving Grapes. — Take a cask or 

 barrel, inaccessible to the external air, and put 

 into it a layer of bran, dried in an oven, or of 

 ashes well dried and sifted. 1)1011 this, place a 

 layer of gra[)es well cleaned, and gathered in 

 the afternoon of a dry day, before they are 

 perfectly ripe. Proceed thus with alternate 

 inyeis of bran and grapes, till the barrel is full, 

 taking care that the grapes do not touch each 

 other, and to let the last layer be of bran ; then 

 close the barrel, so that the air may not be able 

 to penetrate, which is an essential point. 

 Grapes, thus packed, will keep nine or even 

 twelve months. To restore them to theirfresh- 

 ness, cut the end of the stalk of each bunch of 

 grapes, and put that of white grapes into white 

 wine, and that of black grapes into red wine, 

 as you would put flowers into water, to revive 

 or keep them fresh.
