Brine Cure for Pork.

rs soon As the carcass has been
properly chilled and cut up, it is
ready for curing. Rub each piece
with >alr, sprinkle layer of salt
in the bottom of good, tight barrel,
and cover each layer of meat as it
is packed in tightly. When the
barrel i full. cover the meat with
d board and weight it down with a
stone so that none of the pieces
can float with any part OF the sur
face exposed to the air where it is
likely 10 mould
Make the brine by dissolving
eight pounds CT salt and two pounds
Of sugar in four gallons hot water.
This will treat d hundred pounds
of meat, and should be poured
down the side of the BARREL until
the meat is thoroly covered Four
or five days after the brine is put
on, the meat should be repacked in
another barrel in reverse over so
that the pieces which were at the
bottom will be on the top in the
second barrel. Brine should be
poured on as before, and the trans
fer to another barrel repeated in
about FIVE days, and this time it
should be allowed to remain in the
brine about a day and half for
each pound contained in the larger
pieces of meat in the barrel, that
lis. fifteen pound piece of meat
should stay in the brine about
twenty-five and half days, then
it should be washed in warm water
and hung up for smoking Just as in
the case Of dry cured meat. 1t
should be smoked with hickory
oak, apple or any other wood except
that belonging to the pine family
until it suits the taste of the user.
About twenty-five snudges make
good, mild smoke.
Many prefer not to use saltpetre
or borax, and they should be used
in small quantities if at all, for
both tend 10 harden the lean meat,
The Jasper news., 1915-12-16
and s4ltpetre gives it n bright red

and saltpetre gives it n bright red
color Not more than an ounce
should be used with each pound of
salt. Borax helps to keep off the
shippers, but this may be done by
proper sacking. If used, it should
be sprinkled lightly over the lean
surface at the beginning of the
curing or just after smoking, but
not more than a tablespoonful
should be used for large ham.
Plain syrup. sorghum, or honey
may be rubbed on the meat after
either the dry salt or brine cure
has been completed, and pepper
may be added if desired. After it
is carefully sacked so that the flies
cannot possibly get in. it should
be hung in dry, airy place until
needed.

THE SEASON IN TRIADS

And what about 1916. in the
weather line? Farmers of the
middle west much as they are
inclined to worry about moisture
during the summer months. had
more than enough of it during
the season OF 1915, Speculation
on the subject may be idle, still
it holds some degree of interest
in connection with the history
Of past seasons. A Missouri OBJ
server who has kept a care
ful record since 1869 says 1916
and 1917 will be wet years. This
estimate conforms to the pre-
diction furnished to The Tri-
bune year ago by Sioux
Indian, who accurately forecast
ed the heavy SHOWS during
the latter part of last season
and the proceeding period of
heavy rainfall.
The Missourian's tabulation n
of seasons has convinced him
that the wet and dry periods GO
IN triads-three years of each
and on that basis he lists 1916
and 1917 as very probably in the
moist class, though likely to
be good crop years. His COM
pilatiOn is presented for what. IT.
may be worth:
1869-The year of the great
eclipse of the sun; very wet,
corn weedy and poor crop.
187O-71-Very dry years.
1875-76-77-A triad of wet
years.
1S78-A very dry year.
loS2-83-84-A triad of wet
years.
1854 very dry year.
1889-9O-91, 92-A quartet of
wet years.
1S94-Very dry.
l9OO-O1-Very dry years.
l9O3-Wet year.
19O4-O5-O6-Very wet years.
19O7-A very good year.
191O-NOmnal wet weather.
191l-Very dry year.
1912-Good crops.
l913-l4-Very dry years.
l9l5-Beginning of another
