Culture of tne Tine In Europe, The United States Commission at the Universal Exposition of Paris in IS67 appointed a committee, composed r 1 11 T T 1 J .1 1 oi jMarsnau tr. w nuer, Aieianuer Tompson, AMIllam J. llagg, and Patrick Barry, to report on the culture and products of the vine. The report is given in the monthly publication of the Department or Agriculture, out with some typographical errors cor rect we give the report almost entire as we consider it of great value. Although the committee embraced fourmembers we believe the main credit of attend- in c to the interests of our country on this subject is due to Messrs. "Wilder and Barry, whose knowledge of the preat interest felt by our people in the culture of the crape induced them to make extra exertions and obtain special committee for examination and comparison of our American pro ducts with those of other countries. "The exhibition of wines at the Universal Exposition of 1867 was large. Every wine-growing country of Europe, as well as Anstralia, Canada California, and other sections or jNortn and South America, were represented. As there were no jurors from the United States, our American wines were not subjected to so full and fair t . a. i d. : a-1 J an examination as mey were cuuueu to. and to remedy this omission a spec ial committee, consisting of the under signed, was appointed by the Board of Commissioners to make an examina tion of the wines of our own and other countries, and to report especially with reference to wine-making in America. "As regards French wines, full reli ance can not. bo placed on what is furnished to the American traveler at hotels or cafes, or even what is sold him at the shops, no matter what price he pays. It would, however, be doing French wines a great injustice toiuuge them by the qualities sold in this way, or exported to America. The great body of American consumers have palates as yet so unskilled, and the merchants ol liordeaux, ana iau ricators and imitators axe so adroit, that it seems impossible for the honest wine maker here to come into such relations with the wine drinkers there as fhall secure to the latter the benefits sanitary and moral, which the French people themselves derive . from the pure juice of the grape so abundantly produced in this country. It is not an unusual practice for dealers to buy of producers in the back country a coarse, deep red wine for SO cents per gallon, and a strong white wine ior4o cents per gallon, mix and bottle them and send them abroad labeled with all ' the highsounding names of , Medoc,' to 6ell at enormous profits to unsus pecting foreigners. "Farther South than Bordeaux, in . the country about Montpelier and Bezires, an inferior article, but per fectly pure, can be obtained of the froducer at five and six cents per gal on, or one cent per bottle. Of Tate years, and since the abatement of the grape diseas, the production of France has been very large, the 4,000,000 of . acres in cultivation yielding and aver age of 1,200,000,000 of gallons, which would give to every man, woman, and child in the country a half bottle-full every day, even after allowing 1200,000, 000 of gallons for exportation. ."Hungary whose product is second to that of France only, can supply a wide range of varieties, and at prices extremely reasonable. As the Hun garian producers seem to know, as yet but little of chemistry, we suppose their wines to be generally pure. 41 Besides the sherry, of which we consume bo largely, Spain has an abundant and rich vintage with which . A merican consumers would be better acquainted if her merchants had more of the enterprise of those of Bordeaux. "Portugal also produces plenty of . excellent and pure wines of which we know little, for hardly a drop is allow ed to leave the country without being bo strongly brandieu as to lose its character as a wine, and become rather a spirituous liquor. Port wine is re peatedly dosed with; gpirita until it contains at least as much as 24 per cent ' of alcohol. Fifteen years' age is re quired before it is fit to drink, not because the wine is slow to ripen, but because the spirit needs to remain fif teen years before the-disturbance it ' causes can subside and the antagonistic ingredients of the mixture harmonize. "Notwithstanding bold-and persis Xent assertions to the country, it has ' been satisfactorily proven td your com mittee that the adulteration, ia made, not to preserve the wine, but solely to make it sweet and stimulating. " As America is destined to become a great wine-producing country, her people ought to be better acquainted than they are with the higher grades of foreign ines, but they have as yet drunk so little of these, that their standard of excellence remains com paratively low. Now, except in Cali fornia, none of the European vines will grow in America, and we are compelled to search in car forests, and develop in nurseries and vineyards the varieties which are in the future to be our reliance for competing with foreign producers, and finally, it is to be hoped emancipating ourselves irom them altogather. Of course, then the high er our standard of taste is, that is, the higher our aim, the better will be our success, "Our American vineyards compare very well with those of France, and so do our cellars, presses, and casks. "soil and exposure "The soil of Medoc, where stand 'Chateau Margaux,' 'Chateau La Fitte and 'Chateau La Tour,' is a bed of coarse gravel, among whose pebbles the eye can barely detect sou enough to support the lowest form of vegeta ble life. In the vicinity or Uezires, on the other hand, the land is rich and strong enough to yield any kind of a crop : yet Medoc grows wine that often sells for ten dollars jer gallon, while that of Bezires sometimes sell for less than ten cents per gallon. In Bur gundy there a long hill on whose dark red ferrugiirous limestone sides a wretched thin covering of earth lies like the coat of a beggar, revealing the nakedness beneath. Here stand little starveling vines, very slender and very low : yet here is the celebra ted 'Clos vaugeot,' and this is the nil and these are the vines that yield a wine rivaling in excellence and value that of Medoc, and to the fortunate proprietor the Cote (Tor is what it signifies, 'a hillside of gold.. At its base spreads out a wide and very fer tile plain, covered with luxunan vines, whose juice sells from ten to twenty cents per gallon. " li you go larther northward and examine the hills of Champagne, you will find them to be merely hills of chalk : and these instances only Ulus trate the rule derived not from them alone, but abundance of others, that for trood wine, you must go to a dry and meagre soil. Yet we should be sorry to have to extend the rule, and say that the poorer the soil the better the wine, for there are certainly very few patches of ground in America that canimatch in poverty the mountains of Champagne, the hills of Burgandy or the slopes of Medoc. PREPARING THE GROUND, PLANTING THE VINES, "This is probably as well understood in America as in France. In Burgun dy, Champaigne, and some other districts it is the practice to renew the vigor of the vines by laying down the cane and rooting the plant in a new place, which quite breaks up the origi nal lines, so the plow can not be used This is ooubtless a good way to renew the strer srth of the plant but it is ob jected to by high authority on the as sumption that the older the stalk is the better the wine will be: on the other hand, Champaigne vine-dressers have attributed to this practice in a great measure their almost total exemption from the vine disease. "But then, again, others attribute that exemption to the general and long established custom of spreading over the vine-yards a bituminous shale containing sulpher, a well-known an tidote : and here we would recommend most strongly to our countrymen renewed and sustained effort to combat mildew with sulpher. The experience of France and other countries is enti rely in its favor, and its use is still felt to be necessary, and is still kept up " We think Americans have not been thorough enough, and patient enough. Let them try again, and this time let them begin early, and to be sure to follow carefully these rules on the subject, which have been hitherto much better promulga ted than observed. On rich and leve land, a common plan in some districts is to set out double rows of vines, at wide intervals, in fields chiefly devoted to other crops. The free exposure to sun and air thus secured seems largely to augment the yield, and this will be understood by any one who has noticed the superior productivness of such o his vines as grow bordering on a wide alley or other open space. This is very different from planting vegetables, etc among the vines, which is a bad prac tice. ."WIRE TRELLIS. "These are becoming quit popular here, notwithstanding the cheapness of wood. The size of wire preferred is No. 16, and but two wires are used They are stretched to strong posts set twenty feet apart, passing intermedia tely through holes of smaller posts or stakes. On the lower line, about eighteen inches from the ground, the fruit-bearing wood is trained, while the upper line, about eighteen inches above the other supports the new wood. Many prefer to allow the fruit- bearing cane to do service for years instead of one only, 'lhere is no doubt that with wire trellises the pru ning. trying, pinching oti, etc., can be much more cheaply done than where the training is to stakes, and from the way the clusters depend from the hor izontal cane, it is easy to see that there must be also a superior access or sun and air, and a greater ease in gathering the vintage. "WINTER PROTECTION. "It is a common practice to go through the vines with a plow every fall, and throw up a good ridge of earth against the stalks. The Hunga nans have a more enectual way ol guaranteeing against the cold of their rigorous winters, which is to lay the vines on the ground, cover them with straw and on,the straw throw the earth, without this, it is said, they could pro duce no wine at all. Our native grapes are generally hardy, and will live wherever their fruit will ripen : but occasionally there is a severe season which seems to touch the very heart of the wood, and so enfeeble it that it falls an easy prey to disease. It was noticed that the mildew set in with great destructi veness after the two hard winters of 1So4 and 1856. ' The thorough covering employed in Hungary would secure it against such occasional risks, and also mi.rht render it possible to grow European vines in our country. By its means, too, we could, perhaps, make the Scuppernong live in. our Northern States, and obtain from it a sparkling wine, of foam and flavor unsurpassed. From these considerations and others, we recommend to the wine-makers of our more Northern States to lay down and thoroughly cover their vines regularly every fall : and to those in milder regions, to bank up the earth against the stalks as is done in France. "e have derived most orourin- stuction in vine-dressing from the Germans, in whose native country there are no sunbeams to spare-; and the celebrated Risling grape is said to hardly even ripen, and thus, perhaps, we have been led to attache too much importance to letting the fruit remain on the vine as long as possible before gathering. If we have been in error, it would be well worth while to know it, for, besides the loss by shrinkage, the ravage of insects and birds, quad rupeds and bipeds, during the last fortnight of the vine-dressers' watch- ings, is most disheartening. Now, it s contended by good authority In France thatearly vintages are the best and that it is important, not merely n regard to quantity but quality also: to gather the fruit before it becomes over-ripe. Possibly what is true of ; white wine may not be so of red wine. to which last-named kind attention is so widely directed in Europe. Here the proportion of white wine to red is very small,, and it may be said that red is the rule, and white the excep tion. . .... ' WHITE AND RED WINES. i "Our wine makers in America" un derstand very- well the principles to be observed in the manufacture of white wine and many of them regards care and nicety, are as good models as need be desired. But, it can not be de nied that the practice of selling the ripest and finest grapes for table use and converting the unsalable into wine, preva Us to a great extend among Am& rican vine-yardists and the result is the manufacture of much inferior wine, This has already injured the reputation of American wines, both at home and abroad. Of the much more complica ted process of making red wine, how ever, American manufacturers ard but little informed, for the reason that until recently they have had no grapes suitable for the purpse ; but now that we have discovered those excellent varieties, the Norton and Ives seedli ngs our estimate of the value of which has been very greatly raised by com paring wine from them with some of the highest grades of foreign produc tions a few observations of methods of fermentation for red wine, as practiced in France may be appro priate. "In France, they will make either white or red wine from the same grape; but in America . they have grapes whose pulp is so rich in coloring mat ter that they yield a very pretty tinted wine without any further treatment than what is given to . make white wine, and a pure whith wine can not be made from them ; of this kind is the Norton seedling. Yet not for beauty alone do they put them through the process of fermentation on the skin, but because that nrocess imparts aual ities which, as affecting the palate, stimulation, digestion, etc., are quite different from what the other process imparts: many persons find red wine essential to their health, who can not use white wine, and vice versa.1' TO EE CONTINUED. The Democrats have a very simple recipe for making political capital. It is to get up a riot, an insurrection, or a war, and then to charge the expense and trouble of putting it down to Re publican extravagance. 'Ihis is thei sum and substance of all their charges against the Republican party. SBElLffiHGER ODO'S ITo. :;; jJIcriicrson's EIOl, Sole Agents ' ' !
