A contributor to the Columbus (Gs) Sun
proposes the following methcd of curing meat
with the least use of salt:
As the time for killing is ct hand, let all in
terested supply themselves at once with vessels
that will hold brine. IF casks cannot be OBJ
tanned, vats or poplar troughs will make good
substitutes. Kill Ons-thrd Of the pork to be
slaughtered, boil brine strong enough to float an
egg, let both meat and brine get perfectly cold =,
and cover the meat with the brine. la two or
three weeks raise the meat and hang it up. Re-
boil the old brine, skimming off all impurities
that rise to the surface, and add little more salt
and water. Kill another third of the pork and
pack ss before, and so on with the remaining
third, thus using the brine three times.
Il is thought by those whose opinions are en-
titled to respect, that half bushel OF salt, or
less, to a thousand pounds, used in this way,
will be sufficient.
The advantages are three fold. It takes less
salt, for none is wasted the meat is not liable
TO be tainted in consequence of a sudden change
from cold to hot weather, because it is covered
in brine, which excludes the warm atmosphere
and lastly, it is perfectly protected from flies,
which sometimes damage meat seriously in this
climate
