To Make Unfermented Wine.

Take perfectly ripe native grapes, pick from stems, discard all imperfect berries. Mash slightly (not mash seed), press oat the juice by any of the known methods and separate the juice from the pulps by straining through coarse cloths, or otherwise Then add 1% pounds white sugar to each gallon of must or juice. Boil in a copper or brass kettle for 40 minutes, then remove from fire and filter again so as to remove all sediment Filtering paper kept by druggists is best to filter through. The filtering is slow but perfect. After filtering and when juice is cool, put in strong bottles, cork and wire similar to pop soda. A cool cellar where the temperature is regular and does not freeze in winter is the best place to keep wines.—Farm and Home.
