Wo print below some good old* t?me Southern recipes that were used before creosote, borax sod other so culled preservatives were known. Io the \iays be fore the war, says Commission*! of Agriculture Graham, of Nortl Carolina, iu the Progressive Farmer, any one who used the* things would have but little coin pauy for Christmas. But here is what we started out to say; Iu "cutting up** the bog, cut through the skin on each side ol the backbone; tins gives the *Jfat back" piece, which with all sur plus fat from the hams aud shoulders goes iuto the lard. First class lard is generally the highest priced hog product. I cut to save ull that can be got leu. In takiug out the spare ribs begin at the bottom instead of at the baclc bone, as is usnally done. Talce out tlio loin, some tunes called grisUiu or suusuge piece, with rib. Cui ihe rib iu two leug ih wise, the bottom piece sp.ire rib; cut each rib of upper piece with attached meat for chops. In a shoat or hog weighing sixty pounds or less the back bone cau be split, leaving half for "ourbacue"and theu separate each rib through' the siciu for chops. When cut out sprinkle half teasiHJonful of powdered salt pslor on each ham; use one part granulated sugar, three purls good sail; put hams iu tub or box, let remain three days, break buiic aad re- pack, using some salt. This is done to bo sure that all parts of the ham get their salt. Let it lie iu bulk oue day for each pound the ham weighs, hung and smoke for leu day", take down and apply to flgsh of ham a paste of molasses aud ground black pepper, wrap in newspaper uud pack in barrel with cut, nice hay between hams to keep from touching. This process is for hams from hogs weighing 2o0 pounds or less. Those who have few hams c m treat the shoulders as hams. For hams from hogs weighing more than 250 pounds put in brine described below for corn beef and pickle pork, let lie for four weeks uud then siuoUe tin til dry and theu treat as for lighter hams. Cut the pork in pieces of suit able siz ?, pack iu barrel. For each 10J pounds of pork prepare: C quarts good salt, G gallons of water, 1 4 pounds saltpeter, 1 pound sugar, 1 pint molasses. Mixed cold without boiling and pour over beef. In a week's time it will he ready for use, and keep for a year. Corn beef can b? made by using the above I brine and packing it in a barrel. I Hoil until thoroughly done, j split the foof>, beginning between the hoof, fry in batU*r as you would fry chicken. Nothing better about a hog. The ears and skull below the eyes will do for souse, but do not spoil feet to make it. lioil together a skull and a has let (liver uud lights, but no heart) until thoroughly done, take out the bones, mash to gether, season with sage and onions, put meal sufficient to make a stiff dough, boil half an hour, pour iu a in >uld, and vhen cold cut iu slices aud fry as needed for breakfast. Have u kit of brine aud put tongues in as you kill your hogs. Can mix hogs and beef tongue. C, A. BRUCE, Vetermrj Surjrai, Camden, S, C. uil.KlNG'S NEW DISCOVER* Will Surely Stop Ikit Cough. ?
