Saltimo MtaT. Salted meat ia far lea
nouriihing thu freeh, and far leu wholeaome.
Wa will endeavor to explain why. The prat
ervation of meat by mean of aalt hu been
practioed from tim immrimnrial, and II on ut
tha eimpkat method for this purpose. It de
pendi for its ctlicienoy upon the desncation or
drying of th tiasuea, at the salt nsad for this Dor-
pot enter slowly into solution, deriving th
moiature it requires lor this pnrpos from th
fluids of the fleeh. Henoe it is that when dry
atlt is atrowed upon freeh lean meat, it gradu
ally diaappears in the form of a liquid brio.
A th fleth Iotas its natural juioe, th fibtrs
oontraot and tha meat lessens in bulk. Ths
notion of tha salt, if a Urge quantity ia ap
plied, penatraies aeeply, sua a mnoh u one
third of the natural iuioe .of th meat
often forced out of it. Tha preserva
tion of meat by means of salt, therefore, may
be explained to depend upon th separation of
water, upon the exolution of air, and upon th
saturation with salt of the juioes remaining in
tha meat. Bnt meat thoush Dreervd in
this manner tetinit putrefaction, anffers a not
able lots of iU normal nntritiv properties, in.
aamuch u th brio which gradually forms about
it, oontain probably one-third or one-half of
the nutritive tubatMoes (albumin, kreatin, phoa
phorio acid, potash, ate.,) of th fleeh, whioh ara
extracted along with the juices. The ar tha
very tuottuo which ar mora oompletely x
traoted by digettion with wUr, as in making
beef tea or broth 1 and in proportion aa the oou
tituenU are extracted, they diminish th nn
tritiv properties of th meal The change in tha
