hSA Bacon -Americans visiting England are often
struck with the superiority of English bacon over our
own PARTICULAR y of that from Willis and Yorkshire.

rolled TO a fine powder, well rubbed with the hand
to every part, using the finger to fill every hole and

as before, and we'll rubbed in. This process should
be repeated every twelve hours for three days when
saltpetre should be added, getting off previously all
the damp salt and brine before, and applying the
satpetre as the common salt, adding handful of the
latter quarter OF pound of salpetre to side of
bacon weighing seventy pounds is sufficient then
mix one pound OF coarse brown sugar and one pound
OF treacle moasses and pour over the sapetre on
the bacon, adding little more common salt daily for
three days, which serves to make the pickle keep

teacup over the bacon often convenient, for four
times day for the first two weeks after it was first
put to the bacon, and then never less than twice
day for the remainder of the time needed for it's pick
ng which is four weeks, or longer, if large bacon
and then 1t should be sent TO the drying house. and
