SaS "O uiSdppOiHteu III our hopes OF
aving sweet hams during Che summer?
After carefully curing and smoking; and
when sewing them up in bags, and white
washing them, we find that either tile fly
has commenced family in our hams, or
that the choice parts round the bore are
tainted, and the whole spoiled.
Now, this can be easily avoided by pack
ing them in pulverized charcoal. No matter
how hot the weather, nor how thick the flies,
hams will keep as sweet as when packed for
years. The preservative quality of char
coal will keep them till charcoal itself de-
Gays. sts5t
Butter, too, put in clean crock, and sur
rounded by pulverized charcoal, will never
become rancid. Try it.
How TO CuRE HAMs.-When the ham is
sailed, place the shank down, and always
keep It in the same position while sailing and
smoking, By this method the juices, or
moisture Of the flesh are retained. Hams
so cured are much better and moister and
will keep any reasonable length of time.-
