| Method Of preserving BEEF.
Sort your beet, let il be cold, but not frozen
| io20owt. use 4 bushel ofsalt, pound of salt
| petre, and quarts of molasses. Dissolve YOUR
| salt-petIe in water, and add the molasses, then
| pack down your beef tight, put salt in YOUR
DarEel, and between each layer : and let a suit
| able proportion of sait-petre and mclasses be
put on each layer, till all is put together reser-
wing or quarts of salt TO make brine suffici-
! ent TO cover the beef, which must be added in
or days, and your loef will be good through
| the year. When you salt beef again, use the
same proc oslo, III or IL quarts ofsalt will be
enougll--but keep your old brine and in I or }
days add 1t WITHOUT boiling, as that will injure
IT very much. Ihave tried this method years,
