SWALLOW—GRAPE CULTURE. 163, 
The vineyards of Boonville have yielded the present sea- 
son about 6,000 gallons, worth $12,000. Five acres gave a 
clear profit of 39,000, 0 r $400 per acre. Mr. Haas made 1550 
ns from 3 acres. 
gabe vintage of Hacmaen tp about 100,000 gallons, from 
ess than 200 acres. At $1.00 per gallon, which is less than 
on value, it will give a profit of at least $400 per acre, or of

Judging from the statistics before m me, I would suppose all 
our vineyards have yielded an average of at least 250 gallons 
per acre since 1849, which, at an average price per ga lion of 
$1.60, meenld. give an an annual income of $400, and a yearly
