I] KEEPING AND CONSUMING 115 



CHAPTER LXI 



OF AMURCA 



Good farmers store amurca in casks just as care- 

 fully as they do oil or wine. The method of storing 

 is as follows: As soon as ever it has been squeezed 

 out by the press, two-thirds of it are boiled away, 

 and what remains is put when it has cooled into 

 vessels. There are also other methods of storing, 

 IS, for example, that in which *' must" is added. 



CHAPTER LXII 



KEEPING AND CONSUMING 



As no one stores up produce save with the inten- 

 tion of bringing it out again, I must also give a 

 few words to this subject, which constitutes the 

 sixth phase. People bring out what they have 

 stored, either for its preservation, or for consump- 

 tion, or for sale. Now as these objects are unlike, 

 different times must be chosen for preserving and 

 consuming different kinds of produce.
