Much diversity of opinion exists , aiyto tho merits of tho. two ways of rurlug brlnlhg and dry curjyg. Dry- curort meat, is hahdlcd only 6nc6, while briuu-cured - meat must lio . bandied ' several times. Tito brino "keeps uway, lancets and yormln, If directions aro followed closely and puro water lu used In makong tho . lirlnc, It will not Hpoll and should keep-for a reasonable length of tlmo. If tho brino becomes "ropy" It should bo poured otf'aud boiled or a now Lrino should bo made. A cool collar Ja tho most dcslrablo placo for both brlnq and dry curing. When moat Is cured during warm weather tho dry method of curing Is far safer than the brino method. It Is advisable to rub with flnt nalt tho sOrfaco of tho 1uoai'anU allow It to drain, flesh sldo down,' fer 6 to 12 hours before bolug put In the cure. Thin applies to both brino and dry curing. Tho following directions aro given for brino and dry cured pork. Drlne-curod pork: .For oai'b 100 pounds of meat S pounds of salt, 2 Vi . vouuds of sugar or sirup. 2 ounces' j)t saltpeter, 4 Vj gallons of water. lIn warm weather 0 or 10 pounds of rait uro preferable. Allow four days cure for each pound lu a bam or shoulder and threo days for bacon and small pieces. For oxamplo, a ID-pound iam will take GO days, a ploco of bacon weighing 10 pounds, 30 days. Tho brino should bo made tho day before It is used, so that It will bo cool. All thu Ingredients aro poured Into tho water and boiled until thoroughly mixed. Place liama on Iho botom of tho container, shouldora next, bacon slden and smaller outs on top. Pour In tho brine and bo miru It covers tho meat thoroughly. In five dayri pour off thu brino and change the meat, placing thu top meat on tho bottom and tho bottom meat on top, thon pour back tho brine. Itepoat this operation again on tho tenth and eighteenth days. Dry-cured pork requires moro - work than brine-cured, though It. Is 44omutlmes (ess expensive, Danger from rats and other vermin Is less 1n the case of brluo-cured pork. Doth methods of curing aro very successrul -If caru Is taken to soo that each oper-; alio n is executed correctly.
