[For the benefit of our subscriber of Eutaw, and
others who may feel interested in the subject, we
give here briefly, the plan for picking beef that we
have used successfully ourselves, taken from Mrs.
Rapdolphs "Virginia Housewife" Prepare your
brine as follows:
Procure 80 gallon cask, take out one head drive
in the bung securely and pitch it over, that it may
not leak. The cask must be perfectly tight and
clean. Then take one pound pulverized saltpetre,
fifteen quarts of good clean SALT and fifteen gallons
of pure water put these Ingredients into the cask
and stir frequently, until dissolved. Cover the cask
with piece OF osnaburg, to keep out the dust;
look at it frequently, and take off the scum. If this
had been prepared the first of November, it would
have been better. These ingredients are chemically
proportional. 1t can be made no stronger; it will
bear up an egg. For very large family, more may
be made but this is sufficient for ordinary family,
for private use. 1t should be kept in a cool, dry
place, and requires nothing more but occasional
skimmiRg off the dross that rises Some persons
advise and use molasses but Mrs. Cloud never does.
When your beef is well fatted-if month or
more after the brine be fnade-kl in the afternoon
and let the quarters, when separated hang all night,
to drip out the blood. For sailing down your beef,
make large tubs by saving in two molasses hogs
head or any large cask. Have these tubs perfectly
Clean with three four holes in the bottom to drain
off the bloody water. Having your beef cut out in
pieces of such size may suit you-and they should
be larger for winter use than for summer-you are
now ready for sailing it down in the tubs. First,
cover the bottom with clean, good SALT then rub the
salt soel into each piece and pack into the tub till
near full then cover the whole with salt This is
essentially necessary to good beef and it should be
put on literally. In packing in the tub, put the
tieshy side of each piece downward 1t must re-
main in salt 10 days. take it up then, wash off the
SALT put it in the brine pickle, and press it down
with board and weight, to keep it under the sur
face In ten days it will be beautiful red color,
and fit for The best time to begin to salt beef
here, is about the first Of November. Tongues are
cured in the SINE way.
After your beef has lain in pickle for three to four
weeks you may take it out, wipe it quite dry with
a clean cloth, rub it over with Indian meal bran,
and hang it up in cool, dry and dark place, to pro.
tect it from flies. The pieces must hang separately,
and should be examined frequently through the
summer; and after long wet spell, should be laid
out in the sun to dry.
Beef may be picked in the summer by using
traordinary care, we presume, but we have never
tried it.-EDl
