HAM TO TEMPT THE EPICURE
New York Man Asserts That Meat
Smoked With Corncobs Is Deiicacy
Fit for King.

There are probably million hams
In this city, counting only the COM
mercial variety No one pretends to
guess at the number OF human hams.
But Il man on the upper West side
claims to have two hams which are
different from all the hundreds of thou
sands Of others in New York. He Is
willing to wager that these two are
the only genuine corncOb smoked hams
In town.
The hams come from Connecticut.
SO did the man. AS Il boy on his
fathers farm he was fed, more or less,
on c0b-smoiied ham. He didn't realize
his luck at the time. But later, out in
n world OF hams smoked anyhow and
anywhere, he missed the old dclcctablo
flavor and finally determined to re.
capture 1t.
Back to Connecticut he went on q
still hunt for n farmer with corncobs
and hams and willingness to intro.
ducc them to each other. He found
his farmer up in the northwest corner
Of the state. And now early every
winter the only two cob-Smokcd hams
in town arrive at this mans house.
The process Of smoking thcm is q
matter of several weeks. Every day
/ q Shovcllul of Goals is carried to the
! Smokchousc and placed in q sort OF
braZicr with iron bars. Then Il buShc
of corncobs is dumped on the Goals
