The Only Way to Cure Pork.

First, salt pork with plain salt
by rubbing on and spreading out,
say II hours, then apply to hams
and shoulders as follows: Salt 10
lbs, brown sugar 2 lbs, salt
potre 2 ounces, red pepper l ounce
to 100 lbs. of pork; rub and
apply freely. Sides resalt. If
killing is done while weather is
cool, say frosty, meat may not
be stored for four to five days
after butchering, but If warm it
should be stored within II hours.
Do not cut off chin bone, as this
ruins the ham, and in storage
they cure as well with chin
left on.
Time to be stored: Thirty days
is sufficient. When taken from
storage wash in warm water,
wipe dry, sew up in canvas or
homespun hang up and smoke
every third day for two weeks.
Use green hickory wood for
smoking.
Salt furnished at a reasonable
price.
