1t Meat warm and just killed was put into the cyn-

out Of The meat that the sleeping IN hogsheads in
the ordinary process is not required ~ THIS process
the cured provisions acquire very superior qualities the
,ces being retained which in the ordinary method are
expelled The weight is increased IN proportion 10 the
quantity of fluid Infused into the meat
