Home Cured Meat.
How to Preserve Beef and Pork
on the Farm-SatisfactOry
Method for General Use.

Curing meats with brine is good
method for farm use. 1t is less
trouble to pack the meat in barrel
and pour brine over it than to 60
over it three or four times and rub
in salt, as in the dry curing method.
The brine also protects the meat from
insects and vcrmin. Brine made Of
pure water and according to the di-
rections in the following recipes
should keep reason BILE length of time
During warm weather, however,
brine should be watched closely, and
if it becomes "ropy" like sirup, it
should be boiled or new brine made.
A cool, moist cellar is the best place
for brine curing.
Pure water, salt, sugar or moiasses,
and saltpeter are all the ingredients
needed for the ordinary curing of
meat. The meat may be packed in
large earthen jars or a clean hard
wood barrel. The barrel or jar may
be used repeatedly unless meat has
spoiled in it. 1t should be scalded
thoroughly, however, each time be-
fore fresh meat is packed.
Curing should begin as soon as the
meat is cooled and while it is still
fresh. Ordinarily "a to SO hours
after slaughter are sufficient for COOL
ing. Frozen meat should not be salt
ed, as the frost prevents proper pene-
tration of the salt and uneven curing
results.
RECIPES FOR CURING.
CoRNED EEF.-The pieces COM
monty used for corning are the plate
rump, cross ribs, and brisket, or, in
other words, the cheaper cuts of
meat. The loin, ribs, and other fancy
are more often used fresh. The pieces
for corning should be cut into con-
venient-sized joints, say, 5 or 6 in
ches square. 1t should be the aim
to cut them all about the same thick
ness so that they will make an even
layer in the barrel.
Meat from fat animals makes
choicer corned beef than from poor
animals. When the meat is cooled
thoroughly it should be corned as
possible, as any decay in the meat
is likely to spoil the brine during
the canning process. Under no Cir
cumstances should the meat be brin-
ed while it Is frozen. Weigh out
the meat and allow s 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 possible the cuts
of meat, making layer 5 or 6 inches
in thickness; then put on layer of
salt, following that with another lay
er of meat; repeat until the meat and
salt have all been packed in the bar
rel, care being used to reserve salt
enough for a good layer over the top.

night add, for every 100 pounds Of
meat, 4 pounds of sugar, and 4 ounces
of saltpeter dissolved in a gallon
, of tepid water. Three gallons more
of water should be sufficient to cover
this quantity. In case more or less
than 100 pounds of meat is to be
corned, make the brine in the pro-
portion given. A loose board cover.
weighted down with heavy stone or
piece of iron, should be put on the
meat to keep all of it under the brine.
In case any should project, rust would
start and the brine would spoil in a
short time.
1t is not necessary to boil the brine
except in warm weather. If the
meat has been corned during the win
ter and must be kept into the sum-
mer season, it would be well to watch
the brine closely during the spring,
as it is more likely to spoil at that
time than any other season. If the
brine appears to be ropy or does not
drip freely from the finger when i'm
mersed and lifted it should be turn
ed off and new brine added after care
fully washing the meat. The sugar
or molasses in the brine has tend.
ency to ferment, and, unless the
brine is kept in cool place, there is
sometimes trouble from this source.
The meat should be kept in the brine
% to 40 days to secure thorough
corning.
PLAIN SALT PORK Rub each piece
of meat with fine common salt and
pack closely in a barrel. Let stand
over night. The next day weigh out
10 pounds of salt and 2 ounces Of
saltpeter to each 100 pounds of meat
and dissolve in gallons of boiling
water. Pour this brine over the meat
when cold, cover and weight down to
keep it under the brine, Meat will
pack best if cut into pieces about six
inches square. The pork should be
kept in the brine till used.
SUGAR-CuRED HAMS AND BACON
When the meat is cooled, rub each
piece with salt and allow it to drain
over night. Then pack it in barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips of bacon to
fill in between or to put on top.
Weigh out for each 100 pounds OF
meat 8 pounds of salt, 2 ounces OF
brown sugar, and 2 ounces of salt
peter. Dissolve all in 4 gallons of
water, and cover the meat with the
brine. For summer use it will be
safest to boil the brine before using.
In that case it should be cooled thor
oughly before it is used. For winter
curing it is not necessary to boil the
brine. Bacon strips should remain
in this brine four to six weeks; hams
six to eight weeks. This is stand
ard recipe and has given the best OF
satisfaction. Hams and bacon cured
in the spring will keep right through
the summer after they are smoked.
The meat will be sweet and palatable
if smoked properly, and the flavor
will be good.-Weekly News Letter.

ASK FOR WATER Meters
City Club Engineers Say They
Are Only Solution Of Chicago
Water Problem.

City Club engineers have made
report urging immediate steps to rem.
edy the city's water system.
Nearly half the water pumped, &C.
cording to the engineers, IL wasted
through leaks, carelessness Of con.
sumers, and widespread extravaganza
In the use Of the water.
The report IL signed by e. w. Bemis,
public utility engineer; Ray Palmer,
former city electrician, and Henry w.
Clausen, assistant city engineer.
Their principal recommendation 10 to
make the installation Of meters com.
pulsory all over the city.
"A serious problem confronts Chi.
cago," the report says. During the
months Of largest water waste In the
very cold and in very hot weather the
pressure IL insufficient for the fourth

Ing at once. Most large cities main.
tain q much higher pressure in resi-.
dence districts than does Chicago"
The engineers recommend that three
preliminary steps be taken at once:
1.-THE city council should appropriate
$4,000 for the construction OF meter
vaults at the curb where they cannot
be set in Easements.
"All unmetered premises devoted In
whole or part to business and all pub
lie buildings should be metered.
1.-THE city water department should
have the authority to set meters moi
only as now, where the frontage rate
is 800 per year and more, but where
It Is $50 per year. Later the limit
should be reduced to $25 o year."
In Chicago the per capita pumpagt
Of water is 254 gallons. or twice Of
much as most large cities where me
tiers are universal.

X THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Go out determined to magnify the community in which your lot is cast Cultivate it's small economies. Stand by it's young industries. Commercial dependence is chain that gals every day. A factory built at home, book published shoe or a book made these are steps in that diffusion of thought and interest that is needed Teach your neighbors to withdraw from the vassalage of distant capital ists, and pay, under any sacrifice, the mortgage on the home or the land. By simple and prudent lives, stay within your own resources and es- tablish the freedom of your commun- ity. Make every village and cross roads, as far as may be, sovereign to it's own wants. Learn that thriving conscience, and liberty are better than great cities with congested wealth and opulation.-Henry w. Grady
