METHOD FOR CURING MEATS
Animals Should Be kiHed Early In

(By WILLIAM HART HARRISON)
As butchering time is at hand and
since We have the reputation of hav-

hood. our methods may be of some
benefit to those interested in the
curing of this meat
We always kill the hogs early in the
morning. allowing them to hang on
the pole all day so IS to get thorough
ly cooled. as more meat is spoiled by
being cut out and sailed before it is
thoroughly cold to the bone than from
any other cause.
The day after killing, also early in
the morning, cut out and salt up. l
say early, that the women folk may
have the best portion Of the day for
securing the lard, as it is quite job
for them when a farmer kills eight
or ten fine hogs.
Before sailing, sprinkle saltpeter on
the hams and shoulders, then rub in
the salt thoroughly. cover with 1t and
pack the meat in a box. Let 1t stay
in this condition for from six to eight
weeks. according to the size Of the
meat, when it should be taken out.
