1t is interesting to every family,
TO understand the best methods OF

two points to be considered with
respect TO meat. The longer it is

have known this method practis-
ed upon for 40 years successfully,
with little deviation. You need
not be alarmed if it becomes a lit
tie slippery in the spring, provided
it is not tainted. The plate pieces
of fat beef are about as good as
the tongue, and keep as well as
pork.
HAM-For the same reason,
