Some Simple Directions for
Curing Bacon.
The Progressive Farmer.
It is best not to have a cast
iron tu'e abou* doing any tiling;
but one should modify his method
to suit circumstances. Espec
tally is ihis true in ihe matter
of curing meat, in our latitude.
The two main objects to be obtained
are to get the animal
heat out before it is packed down
and to put plenty ot salt on the
meat. A pood frosty morning
with a slight "skim ot ice" is the
best weather tor hog killing.
ISo tar a9 the meat is concerned,
it is best to let the hog hang
up until it is cold ; hut for the
sake of those who are waiting for
the lard and sausage meat we
usually cut the hog up after he
has been allowed to drip for two
or three hours. In fact, where
a good many are killed at one
time we begin to cut up the first
killed as soon as we are through
hanging up the last. Some cotton
sheets are spread down on dirt
the lloor of the smoke house and
each piece i9 sprinkled with a
little salt and placed on this
sheet, not ill touch with any other,
and left over night to cool. Early
next morning salt down in as
compact a pile as possible, bams
first, shoulders second, middlings
on top. rut the sheet you have
been salting on over the pile,
tuck it under pood and the job
is done. We use the sheet on
which the salting was done because
the spaces between the
threads pet packed with salt and
blow llies are not apt to try to
penetrate it. Rub over with
dry salt ten days after lirst salting.
We never salt the bones,
heads or jowls with the meat,
but always put 111 a separate
place, usually in a box. If the
weather is freezing and the meat
is liable to become frozen, salt it
down as soon as put up.
In warm weather the treatment
is different. We remember
once the weather was so
warm that the meat had to be
salted down with a little animal
heat in it. After supper every
night for a week the pile was
torn down and each piece was
placed by it so' I on the dirt floor
of the smoke-house ; before sue
up each morning the pile was
re-packed and the sail covering
was replaced. It was warm
enough each day for the bio w
flies to swarm thick in the smoke
house, but we did not lose a
piece.
A soldier who served in the
war with Mexico induced the
writer's lai her i?> adopt this mothod.
lie claimed there was great
virtue in salting on the ground,
and said that in a batl'e one day
me of our generals was desperately
woun led by a grape-shot
in !he chest. A captured Mexican
surgeon rendered 'first aid'*
and advised the wounded officer
'o have a ten' placed over him
uid to remain on the ground

That is just as (rue in thcCarolinas
?>r ?lie Gulf States as in
the Northwest; bu' we seem
olten to forget it. NVhv, ilo you
know that if you could save c all.
every ton of corn silage you feed
makes you, at a very low esli
mate, 43 conts worth of manure;
every ton ol corn stover, $1.03;
every ton <>f clover hav, $ 1.90
worth ; everv ton ot ground corn,
$2.24 wor'li ; every ton of wheat
bran, $4.74 worth ; evory ton ol
cottonseed meal, $^.30 worth?
It is actually worth this much
to you, right on your own farm,
and lor jour own crops.
There will necessarily be some
loss of the liquid manure when
FtocU are kept in yards or stables;
but with good tloors, plenty of
bedding and a shelter for that
which cannot be hauled to the
fields at once, this Ions may he
made very small. And lor the
sake of your liehls it should be
made just as small as possible.

One ot the most prominent, attorney

it is known to bo a tact that
other leading members of the

for a re consideration of the
