Rain-Prentice, Wis.,, in Danger Of
Destruction.
3, Duluth, July 9.-In response to an
urgent call for help the Duluth fire de-
partment sent steamer and an en-
CINE crew to Bruno, Pine county, to
assist the people of the town in fight
ing forest fires. The call on the Du-
luth fire department for aid stated
that unless help was secured imme-
diately the town would be wiped out
Whether the Duluth fremen were sue
cessful in checking the flames has not
been learned here. Bruno is a settle
ment on the Great Northern road
about three miles below Nickerson.
Prentice, Wis, July 9.-Forest fires
are still raging in this vicinity. -Four
farmers were burned out during the
night Their crops were destroyed
and their stock persisted. Large
crews of men were sent out from here
and fought the fire all night The fires
are within mile of here, but the wind
is not blowing hard. The fire war
dens are sending all the men out that
they can get hold of to fight the fire
and they think they will prevent it
from reaching this village. Thus far
no lives are reported lost, but several
persons had narrow escapes from be-
ing burned. There is no sign Of rain.
Unless there is rain soon the whole
country will be afire
Michigan Fires Checked.
Calumet, Mich, July 9.-Heavy
thunder storms, which are continuing,
have effectually checked the forest
fires in this section and in Ontonagon
county, west of here. ~
In Ontonagon scores of farmers
were driven from their homes by a
sweep of forest and field fires four
miles in length. West of Calumet,
and within four miles of the city 9TH
ers were forced to flee from their
homes. A heavy northwest gale drove
the fire within the limits of the vii
lage of Ahmeek, north of here, but
the rains saved the town.
The situation has been desperate in
other parts of Northern Michigan, but
the rains were general. = =
Farmers and others have prayed for
rain for weeks. All grain and grass
crops are ruined. Absolutely no pas
turage is had for stock and farmers
are selling cattle and horses.

Curing Bacon.

In curing pork for bacon, we have
the knowledge that this class of flesh
is specially adapted to sailing and
smoking, by which its digestibilty
and wholesomeness are increased rath-
er than diminished as is the case with
beef and other meats. The granular
form of fat in bacon is easy of diges-
ton, and can be eaten by most per-
sons to whom any other fat is intoler-
able Hence bacon is frequently
used for delicate children, and where
the free use of fatty foods is indica-
ted for persons suffering from wasting
diseases or requiring readily digesti-
BILE fatty articles of diet.
1t has been determined as result
of ages of experience as well as, scien-
tific investigation, that the use of salt
in preserving food has no appreciable
influence on health other than favor
able. Sailing is one of the oldest
methods known Of preserving meat
for man s use. Salt acts as a deny
drafting agent on flesh; in other words,
it removes water retained IN the It's
SUES Oh Ile animal DOuy. IL ~ ALSO
mildly antiseptic in its action, and in
this way assists to preserve.
The flesh of the pig does not absorb
or take up salt so readily as other
meats, owing to the large proportion
of fat to lean. The length of time
pigs flesh should be submitted to the
influence of sailing depends on various
conditions. Some breeds of pigs give
a greater proportion Of fat The alb
sorption of salt in this case is slower.
The size, thickness, age and weight OF
the flitches and hams have to be con.
sidered.
1t requires less time to cure in a
damp cellar than in a dry room
The extremes Of heat and cold are un
favorable. In the former case, flesh
is liable to decompose before the salt
permeates it sufficiently to cure it.
Where subject to an excessively low
temperature, the meat juices become
set and fine flesh too firm for the salt
to penetrate.
Temperature of Cooling room.
1t should be noted that the tenn.

never exceed 60 degrees Fair. Pre-
cautions should be observed to have
the tables and room in which curing
is conducted scrupulously clean, free
from dust, and with sweet atmos-
phere.
Sailing
1t was at one time deemed good
practise to rub the flesh briskly every
day, but it is generally found that
this is only necessary for the first
three days. The salt mixture only
requires to be spread over the flesh
firmly. An exception may be made
in the case Of large thick pieces or
where the flesh is very cold; then
brisk rubbing is an advantage.
The sale should be pressed into
every depression and well into the
hook ends where the feet have been
cut off and into the joints. To con-
tinue the hard rubbing too long re-
suits in hardened cured flesh.
Brown sugar is used in varying guam
titles with salt, in order to correct
the hardening influence of salt on the
meat. 1t also renders the bacon
mellow, and increases its juiciness and
flavor.
Sugar may also be classified among
the mild antiseptics as meat pre-
server.
The Purposes of Saltpetre
Saltpetre, also known as nitre, OF
potassium nitrate, is used in curing
1t possesses antiseptic proprieties, but
it is chiefly added to preserve the
natural color of the flesh. When
salt is used alone, the natural flesh
color fades and lessons the attractive
ness of the bacon. Attention mus,
be given to the quantity used, as il
has the effect of unduly toughening
the meat if applied in excess. The
quantity should not be more than one
part to % parts of salt.
All ingredients used in the mix
applied for curing should be of the
best quality, and thoroughly mixed.
Flavoring Agents.
Flavoring agents of a harmless
nature are frequently used, and may
be selected from the following: Cay
enne pepper, white and black pepper
nutmegs corianders, garlic, juniper
berries, bay leaves, allspice, ginger,

sides in rotation.
Washing.

w
On removal from the pickle, OF. at
the conclusion Of the dry-salting, the
side must be prepared for smoking.
The flesh is brushed over with a
brush to remove salt, pieces of fat and
flesh, and cleaned up The side is
wasoed in rain-water and soaked in a
solution Of bicarbonate of soda for
twenty.four hours. The solution is
made by dissolving one pound of BIZ
carbonate OF soda in 20 gallons OF
clean rain water. This removes ex-
cessive saltiness and makes the curing
mllder. Follow this by washing in
clean rain water.
The meat edges and bones are
trimmed again. All sharp points Of
bones and loose or hanging pieces of
meat are removed, leaving the side
neat and shapeiy.
Hang the side mp to dry in room,
free from dust and insects, with a full
current of air, for several days. Then
rub olive oil over the skin and flesh.
1t is now ready for smoking.
smoking
In addition to the preserving ac-
ton of smoke it imparts a relshable
favor which adds to the value of the
bacon.
The process Of smoking preserves
flesh by coagulating the albumen
near the surface and forming a pro.
tective covering OF envelope, 1t has
been ascertained that in smoking ba-
con there is no loss of nutriment, and
it is as digestible as fresh meat. The
smoke creates distinct antseptic or
preservative action apart from the
dried albuminoid coating by deposit
ing on the surface from the smoke,
creosote, formaldehyde, and pyrolig.
neous orcrude acetic acid. These
check the action and growth of putre-
factive organisms and their processes.
They retard decomposition, as well as
imparting a delicate and appetizing
flavor.
The smoke house should be about
IL feet high, seeing the bacon musl
be hung from 6 to 10 feet from the
floor. The floor should be earthen,
brick or cement, with depression in
the center, away from the walls, in
order to avoid setting fire to the frames.
There shonld be no light, excepting
that admitted from the door when OPP
en-. Sunlight has a tendency to bleach
the bacon and deprive it of its natur-
al color.
What ventilation is provided, and
some is needed, should be under con-
troll. The aim is to surround the ba-
con with dense atmosphere Of smoke
at a low temperature.
Many methods of creating proper
class Of smoke are applicable. White

To Fix Color
Immediately after cutting up and
trimming, the surface of the flesh
should be sprinkled over with equal
parts of finely ground saltpetre This
is best effected through a muslin bag
or horse-hair sieve Only small
layer is required. This is allowed to
remain for twenty-four hours, and
washed off with clean, cold water 1t
acts as a mordant, to fix or render
permanent the natural color of the
meat.
Picking.
Numerous recipes are available for
picking bacon. The following is
recommended:
Clean rain water ..... 20 gals.
Fine dairy salt 50 lbs.
Brown sugar ..... B lbs.
Saltpetre 2 lbs.
Allspice ] lb.
Dissolve the salt, sugar, and salt
petre in the water. Immerse the all
spice tied up in calico bag. Boil
for one hour, and skim off the frothy
matter rising to the surface whilst
boiling. Allow this solution to cool
before filling the picking vat, barrel
or tub. This is sufficient for 500
pounds of meat The sides should be
rubbed with salt two days before be-
ing immersed in the pickle. 1t may
be necessary to place sufficient weights
on the sides to keep them immersed
The time in pickle will be determined
by the size of the sides, but is usually
three weeks
Dry Curing
This recipe has given good results:
Fine dairy salt ..... so lbs
Brown sugar =. 40. lbs
Saltpetre Finely ground) 2 lbs.
Mix well.
For the first three or four days
this mixture should be rubbed in
over the flesh parts and around the
bones and joints Afterwards spread
the mixture freely each day. The
sides should be stacked, Alternate
the method of. stacking, so that the
side on top one day will be at the
bottom the following day. Time re-
quired, about fourteen days, according
to size of side.
| Where a sweet, juicy, mild-cured
bacon is required, the following may
be used instead of the foregoing.
Sugar and fine dairy salt, equal
parts. Mix well.
To impart distinctive flavor, this
famous French recipe is given:
Fine dairy salt 6 lbs.
