MANUFACTURE OF WINE—A SECOND SOLOMON. 
Kditoiis Soutiikhn Cui.tiva'I’ou — I was amused w’hen 
reading the article in your paper of this month from tfie 
editor of the Mis.sissipfii on making Wine. He 
directs the, “must to he put in the cask, and filled within 
two or tlii ee iiiehes of the lop. Then matle, air tight, so as 
to prevent the admission of air in or out, and so to remain 
from to 7 days, 'J hen draw off, and may be bottled 
in d or 4 days.” Wine ready to bottle from 8 to 14 
days after the grafies are pick'(;d ! filven in our cooler 
climate tlian yours, no racking would be necessary at the 
end of u or () days, a.s fermentation would rack it off by 
/o/,/-.'/,i7/g Ut/: barrel. We prefer wine 2 or more years old 
ludbre we bottle it. If lioitled the next spring after it is 
iiiade, and where it has undergone a full ferinentation, a 
second fermentation takes phice, and .sediincnlis (lepo.sited 
liiat is injurious to the wine.
