produce 4,750 million litres Of beer
yearly, litre being equal to about

in six inch strips crosswise (or across
grain and lengthwise Of the hog); if you
have g. sufficient amount, it is best to
pack hams, shoulders add middlings
separate. Pack the Joints as closely as
possible in the barrel, then pour in the
brine until the meat is fully covered,
weighing it down SO as to keep 1T at all
times fully submerged. The middlings
may be packed on edge, round the bar
REL with skin side next to barrel. IL is
entirely unnecessary to remove the pieces
except as needed for use; though if pre-
ferred, they may all be taken up at the
end of six weeks, dried and smoked.
These strips of middlings, without any
addition except a thorough smoking
with green hickory or corn cobs or both,
make superior breakfast bacon. From
experience, we believe that "pickling"
possesses decided advantage over mere
sailing down ii. e. dry salting) as the
pickle tends to exclude the air (by the
way is absolutely essential to best results,
and doubly so in sections where, and in
seasons where, the temperature does not
come under so, 60, 20, or possibly 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit); it likewise comes in
direct and Immediate contact with every
portion Of the meat. In favorable sea-
sons anyone can succeed, and by very
common aud ordinary methods, in saw
ing their meat; but our object in writing
this article is to assist the novice in say
ing his meat in very unfavorable seasons,
and under unfavorabie surroundings,
conditions and circumstances. To sue
coed in our endeavOr we shall enter
somewhat into details, that under ia
vorable circumstances and conditions
would be entirely unnecessary and super
fuous. For instance, when the temper
allure stays up in the sixties, we have
found it necessary to cut meat on the
afternoon of the same day in which
it was killed, and to lay the
joints out on the roof of some
out house or raised platform
put up for this especial purpose.

sky. 50 that radiation may 60 on freely
and rapidly, and the "animal heat"
completely and entirely extracted; as
previously stated. This getting rid of
the animal heat is the sine qua non
of successful meat saving in warm
weather; if not gotten rid of, the meat
will certainly spoil. Before thus eX-
posing the meat, the aforesaid mixture
Of salt and saltpetre may be rubbed into
each piece Especially the joints.) The
saltpetre and salt will penetrate the meat
rapidly while the latter is hot, and will
'draw out the blood, which is another
decided advantage-Or we may Say ''eS-
sential." The third and last (but not
least) ''essential' is to prepare the
pickle properly; for convenience sake,
we will bring the matter down to weights
instead of measure To one gallon of
water add one and half pounds Of salt
a half pound of sugar, an ounce each Of
saltpetre and common cooking soda, or
better still Bi-carb of Potash, l(this tends
to prevent the brine from sOuring-keep-
