DANDELION WINE. Steep dandelion flowers in boiling water for ten minutes and strain off the liquid, pressing hard through a cheese-cloth bag. Sweeten to taste and add brandy in the proportion of a pint to every four gallons of liquid. Put into uncorked bottles and keep in a cool place, covering the mouths of the bottles with mosquito netting to exclude insects and dust. When fermentation ceases, draw off, strain and bottle.
GRAPE JUICE. Pick grapes off stems (Concord are best) just cover with cold water, let boil until skins come off, strain through flannel bag. Add 1 cup sugar to 1 qt. juice. Let boil and seal hot. Mrs. R. W Cranston.
