It is devoted to the industrial develope- meat of this Piedmont region, inclu- ding commerce, agriculture, manufac- tures and mining. It will notlimit its attention to one class, but to all indus- tries that develope the rccources, pro mote the prosperity, and increase the wealth of this interesting country. H will do its part towards increasing the busy population of our cities, and tranforming the uncultivated wilder¬ ness into fruiti'u o'.cs. WHY PIEDMONT JOURNAL? Because the word “Piedmont” as applied to the country along the base of the Appalachian chain of moun- tains extending from Virginia to Al- abama, symbolizes one of the most ro¬ markable regions on the lace <of the globe. Its climate is unsurpassed for salubrity; its water is uncqualed for purity; its mineral we: 1th is uns ij m ited; its water power is itiexhius- table; tssoil is capable of producing a wider range of products for food and ; mu { Nothing than any other country G f equal^exteut i„ ail* the wide world besides. This region is the field for the Toccoa News and Piedmont lu¬ ll s i al Journal. OUR INI)USTR iAL JOURNAL appeals to every citizen to aid it in this important work.

Good roads radiat¬ ing from cities* long distances in the country draw customers and increase trade. The delegates from Haber¬ sham, are Messrs. J. \Y.

A first rate vat can be im- provised alcohol out of whiskey barrels, while barrels will give acheap substantial cask. Whisky or rum bar- j rels should not be used for casks ,• n j account of flavoring the wine. An j improved Excelsior press and grind¬ er can lie laid down in Central Geor¬ gia for $28, while an outlay of $5 more will furirsh us with a good saccharometer and aeidmeter. The arrangements of vats consist in taking cue head out of whatever number of whiskey barrels you may nee J, thoroughly washing them and nailing four upright cleats of say one inch in tickness and four inches long to the lower inside of the barrel pre¬ paratory to receiving a false bottom which can readily be made from pop¬ lar slats one inch by three,with space of quarter of an inch between slats so as to allow must to ferment and pass through with ease.the space between false bottom and bottom of barrel can be filled with clean drvoatstaw seas to filter the wine after fermentation,a hole should be bored in the side of the barrel about two inches from the bottom and a faucet inserted; the vat is now ready for use, an 1 should be placed on a rack high enough to ad¬ mit a bucket under the faucet. Hav¬ ing gathered the fruit free from dew and rain, grapes can now be ground, taking care not to put in green or de¬ cayed berries; the barrel or vat can be filled to within 8 inches of the top, when another false head with a number of holes bored m it should be inserted, this will be kept in posi¬ tion by the contraction of tho barrel toward the end and is intended to keep the pomace well under the must, the holes allowing its passage during active fermentation w hi a usually • .se- 4<>or 50 at tho end of which the must or wine as it is then willhavea rough or bitter taste and should ire drawn off and put m casks. Alcohol barrels,properly cleaned will be found to answer the purpose well. Fill these to overflowing wifh wine, equalizing the darker juice pressed among the different barrels, place on bungliole half dozen or so grape leaves and a small sand bag about 4 inches square and let it work off all pomace, etc.; the barrel should be re¬ filled every morning, as long- as ac¬ tive fermentation continues, and new leaves placed under sand bag when necessary. At the expiration of ID or 20 days vou can bung up vour bar¬ rels and then allow them to remain quiet until say December or January when the wine should be racked off into clean barroU takiiur car« in disturb the lees or even'lillow muddv wive to should be put in the new barrels, which again be buuged nn and allowed to remain until after the second fermentation which will take place during the following summer. After wine has become still and has been allowed time to fine it should be racked off again, taking even greater pains than before with the casks, these -should bo thorough¬ ly rinsed until every particle of the lees is out and then if necessary sul¬ phured, the wine should now remain quiet untill the following spring wi en it can be bottled or racked off into Up shipping packages. to now we have been dealing with dry wine made from normal, or properly balanced must. Should out season in its be unpropitious this will not be condition, and it is here that the saccharometer and the acidrneter cau be used to advantage. Should your must contain a greater amount of acid than is necessary, and should this not be rectified by the addition sa 4 ar a | lu water, you will have an unpalatable «, wine, but / properly treat- ed m be Utabl * „ , wbote . same.
