PRACTICAL. FACTS ABOUT FORK
AND RACON

What is The loss in weight on making pork
into bacon? This question is often asked,
and every iarmer, particularly in the West,
ought 10 know how TO answer it. As gen
erai and safe rule, from facts within my own
knowledge, have always contended tl.at ii
is better for the purchaser TO buy pork in
the hog. and make his own bacon, when he
can do il for one half Il e price per pound,
than 10 buy it ready made. That is, If pork
usually worth three cents and bacon ''hog
round" six cents, it is better to buy the fire. sh
pork. am writing Tor the West, and in
Western language. That your Eastern
readers may understand, will say that "hog
rounds means = hams, 2 shoulders, and 2
sdes-out of which latter the bones should
always be taken. always trim off belly
pieces for lard. Hams and shoulders too are
we'll trimmed The method of sailing often
asionishes some Of the new emigranls from
Yankee land. Nobody ever made better
b1con for ID years than have, and never
use a polk barrel. sprinkle about two
ounces salpeire and 6 pounds of New York
salt to hundred Of pork, piled up on a
bench, or in the corner Of the smoke-house
like pile of bricks. let il lie about as
many DAYS as the hams weigh pounds each
-oyerhauling once. Then hang up lar
away from Tie fire, in a very open and airy
smoke-house, and smoke we'll with hickory
or other sweet wood Then draw loose cot
on bags over each joint, and tie around The
string by which the meat hangs. Do this
before the flies come in the spring, and you
may lei il hang as long as you like, and it
will be good-at least, mine is so. FoI
many years our house has not been without
"A supply of this most excellent kind of meat,
which is much more healthy food Than
The eternal round OF fresh beef, sc.
But to return TO my Subject. On the
10Th of january, 1916, | killed five hogs
about year and half old, aud one about
half that age, Of the Berkshire aud China
breed, fatiened upon corn fed in the ear, the
quantity not counted, asst was TOO cheap &c
regard that.
The following table will show the weigh
of each hog, and the weight Of each piece
of meat cut for bacon:
