Meat From Fat Animals Better Than
Than From Poor-Proportion Of
SAT- 10 a Highly Impor-
tant Matter.

Tho pieces commonly used for corn
ing are the plate. rump, cross ribs and
brisket' or In other words the cheaper
cuts OF meat. The loin. ribs and other
fancy cuts are more often used fresh,
and since there is more or less waste
Of nutrients in corning. this is well.
Tne pieces for corning should be cut
into convenient-sized joints. say, five
or SIX inches square. 1t should be the
aim to cut them all about the same
thickness SO that they will make an
even layer In the barrel.
meat from fat animals makes
cnoicer corned beef than that from
poor animals. When the meat Is thor
oushly cooled Il should be corned as
soon as possible. as any decay in the
meat Is likely to spoil the brine during
the corning process. Under no cir
cumstances should the meat be brined
while it is frozen.
weigh out the meat and allow eight
pounds Of salt to each 100 pounds;
sprinkle layer Of salt one-quarter of
an inch In depth over the bottom OF
the barrel; pack in as closely as pos
sfole the cuts Of meat. making q layer
nve or SIX inches in thickness; then
put on layer of salt, following that
with another layer Of meat; repeat
until the meat and salt lave all been
racked in the barrel. care being used
to reserve salt enough for q good layer

stood overnight, add for every 100
pounds Of meat, four pounds of sugar.

ounces Of saltpeter dissolved in q gal.
lon Of tepid water. Three gallons
more water should be, sufficient to
cover this quantity. In case more or
less than 100 pounds of meat is to be
Sorned. make the brine in the proper
ton given. A loose board cover.
weighted down with . heavy stone or
piece Of iron. should be put on the
meat to keep all of 1t under the brine.
In case any should project. rust would
start and the brine would spoil in q
short time.
II ID not necessary to boil the brine
except in warm weather II the meat
has been corned during the winter and
must be kept into the summer season.
1t would be well to watch the brine
closely during the spring. as it Is more
likely to spoil at that time than at any
other season. II the brine appears to
be r0py or does not drip freely from
the finger when immersed and lifted.
1t should be turned OF and new brine
added. after carefully washing the
meat The sugar or molasses in the
brine has tendency to ferment. and.
unless the brine is kept In a cool
place, there Is sometimes trouble from
this source. The meat should be kept
in the brine twenty-eight to forty days
to secure thorough corning.-Andrew
