The best bacon is made from pigs which
will not weigh more than 125 pounds when
dressed. The rashers or strips for the
bacon are cut lengthwise of the pig and
about half of the sides are used. The por-
ton next the backbone is fatter and lacks
in muscle and is not so good on this ac-
count. When bacon is made from small
pigs-those weing less than 100 pounds
the whole of the sides are used. Red and
black Berkshire hogs make the best bacon,
because they have the largest proportion
of lean meat. Six pounds of salt and four
ounces of saltpetre should be used for 100
punds of meat. Five pounds of brown
sugar may also be used. or two quarts Of
molasses If the bacon is cured in barrel,
the salt. saltpetre and sweetening should
be mixed and a portion sprinkled on the
bottom of the barrel and some also between
the layers of meat and on the top, and
water enough, after the meat is packed
closely, put on to cover it. In month
the meat will be ready to smoke. Too
much smoke will color the meat and give
it a rank taste. Another way to cure bacon
is to rub the above mixture on the flesh
side of the strips of bacon and then pile it
up one piece above another, and let the
mixture strike in. After three days rub
and pile up as before. A week after rub
again and pile it up, putting;the flesh side
up every time. The mixture should be
divided into three equal parts. to provide
for the several rubbings. At the end of a
month the meat will be ready for smoking,
or before the salt has all struck in and the
surface has become comparatively dry,
which is an indication. After smoking,
the rashers should be sewed up in bags Of
cotton cloth and hung up in dry, dark
place. If the bags are whItewashed on
the outside all the better, this will
keep the worms out.
