TO. CURE MEAT.
Most Farmers Think They Know How, but
Here's q Good Method.

Most Farmers Think They Know How, hut
Here's . Good Method.
Take to one hundred pounds Of meat
seven pounds of salt, two ounces of
saltpetre, well mixed. Hams and sides
are rubbed well on both sides. then
placed in a box after the bottom has
been covered with the above mixture
one inch deep. Now pack the meat as
close as possible, and fill all vacant
places with salt until the whole box
forms one entire mass of meat and
salt. Be careful and don't place bone
against bone. The salt will soon melt,
and with the dampness of the mea:
will form juice that will soak into
the meat. Small hogs remain four
teen days, heavy ones four weeks in
this state, after which time you can
smoke the meat. Before you take the
meat to the smolehouse to smoke. You
have to dry the meat thoroughly.
Now in regard to q smokehouse, as a
good smokehouse is a rarity. A good
smOkehouse must be dry. but airy, and
when closed free from frost. Such q
house is cool in summer. II you cover
the air-holes with wire mesh to keep
out insects, the meat can remain in
this house the whole summer, but you
have to give the meata smoke now and
then. The Snokehouse mrst he ar
ranged so that the smoke reaches the
meat dry and cold. \ real good smoke
house ought to be two stories. In the
lower story you make the smoke.
which, through an opening in the upper
floor, passes to the upper story, where
the meat hangs; in the roof you have
several small openings, through which
the smoke escapes. Meat ought to lie
smoked, not blackened. You don't
want thick, impenetrating. suffocat-
ing smoke, mixed with plenty of fresh
air. TO give your meat a nice, yellow
brown appearance. Every two or
three days, when the air is cool and
dry. open the door to let in the air SO
it will dry the meat.
The fire in the snokehouse must be
built SO that no blaze will start from
she material that the smoke is to be
made from. In one corner Of the
s,nokehouse build a furnace out of
brick, eight inches, deep. ten inches
wide and about fourteen inches high.
On the bottom lay two rows of corn
cohs, then layer of maple or oak
sawdust, then a thin layer of slabs of
either wood, then sawdust, etc, until
the whole furnace is filled; now lay
live Goals to the corncobs. Such pile
will smoke the whole night. The saw
dust prevents the whole mass from
blazing. Hickory also is good, but
never pine, as this kind of smoke will
give your meat a disagreeable taste.
Ii you will keep this up night and day
for the small hams and sides for ten
days. the heavy pieces fifteen days,
your .meat will have q nice, yellow
brown color
To keep the meat the whole summer
so it does not get strong and tainty, |
there are several remedies. The meat |
will keep the best if packed between
chopped charcoal. Pack just as If you
were going to salt it down: don't have !
any vacant places. Also sifted ashes;i
those Of beech wood, is |
good, the last layer of ashes one and |
inches thick. Oats. salt, etc,
is good. but give the charcoal the |
preference.
