privilege, to advise a safe and good method Of
smoking hams and other meat, to give it rich
flavor; also, an easy method of preparing
hams, before ready for the smoke house, which
should be of wood, in preference to any other
material, stone or brick being too damp for the
good OF the meat while it is smoked
hup your hams on the flesh part twice with
fine salt before applying the saltpeter; then
with hnely pulverized satpeter an ounce to a
ham; sprinkle evenly with the saltpeter each
ham, rubbing each piece, as you put it into the
cask, on the flesh part, with two or three table
spoonfuls of good molasses, letting the same
remain two days in the cask before the brine is
poured on, being well purified By boiling, and
strong enough to bear up a large potato
smoking in q pot with clean hickory chips, or
an ash-pot covered over with a thin stone or

it burn and not blaze In this way the meat
