Caring and Preserving Meat.
Pork should Be n I towed to cooi,"tiut not
to' freeze before Cutting. If this is to be
deferred several days for the sake of con
venience, split the animal and take out
the lard. It will tlipn coal (juickiy and
-’^*1 irely. In cutting up, cut off the head
close to the ears; the jowl or wider.jaw,
tfrfd the head or upper jaw, may be baked
fresh, or slightly salted, boiled as pork,
the snout, ears and feet dressed for soose;
take oni the spare ribs with as much lean
tuinched as possible, for all the lean that
goes into the pork barrel shrinks up and
becomes hard ; cut the hams auu shoulders
with good length of the leg bone, for this
vrTH prevent insects and mould getting in
to the body of the ham, rounded at the
large end, and only long enough to in
clude-liie lean, for the fat had belter be
in the pork than the ham; a strip from
the belly as far .US' the teat* should go with
(he lard ; cuttli® broadside across in strips
hbodt eight inches wide ; nil tile frag
ments which come off about the hams nr
Other panes gq for lard or sausages, and
(he whole carcass is appropriated.
The strips of pork should be packed
edgewise in tight casks, a good coating of
salt being put between eaeli layer and on
the lioliom and top of the cask, A half
bushel to the barrel has been thought suf
ficient, but as the cost is but trifling, we
prefer to use about one bushel, that which
remains uudissolvecF being good for future
use. If the cask is to remain without
heading up, fasten the pork down before
you add the bnne, else as the salt dis
solves, the meat may swim. Cover the
meat with pure water, or, better, with a
brine made a^ -strong as possible, with
pd e salt, scalding it, and skimming be
fVo its application. Rock salt or Tijrk’s
T.s'nnd is preferred for preserving pork,
and a prejudice has heretofore existed
against the salt manufactured at Syracuse
11el other places in central New York,
-Sorne salt is doubtless impure from too
hasty evaporation and the excessive use
of lime, but as much of it is fine, and of
course light by the bushel, the difficulty
has in part originated from too small a
quantity- Tfiu splar,sa|t iu larger crys
tals, is very priVe and perfectly reliable.
If there is much lean pork, add two ounces
of saltpetre to the barrel j -this will pre
1 • r Y * A.1 • : J I J. -11
vcuv it j i vin uctuiuiii^ ^vfit
give it a reddish color, i We ^apprehend
no difficulty from the use of molasses
casks in packing pork.. Molasses and
ugar rej*k next to salt in their preserving
qualities, and vve often use such casks for
, hams and beef.
We use the same process for preserving
both hams and beef. When cut up the
beef should lie a few days before this
operation, rub carefully with fine salt, es
pecially about the bone in the hams, and
leave them to drain a few days on a
plank; then pack them loosely in a bar
rel, and cover with a brine made as fol
, Ip*a: Si* gallons of water, nine pounds
of salt, on,e quart of mbiasses,' three
pound* of brown sugar, three ounces of
iT'petro, and an ounce of saleratus.
Biirl the whole well and siriiri, and when
■ d nour it on tile meat, which should be
tirely covered by it. This will make
e enough for about one hundred
) Minds. This, is the celebrated ‘ IvUaicU
p>hpcker pickle,’ recommended by the
ie Judge Buel, and we are satisfied of
.3 excellence by long trial. At the end
jf three weeks take up the hams and're
pack them, and after laying in the brine
v-s much longer, they are ready for
umking.
Hickory wood and cobs .make the best
-moke. Wlnle caution is'used that they
are not too near the fire, they had belter
' not freeze while being smoked. In this
•:se the sinokeonly condenses on the sur
face and blackens n, but docs not pene
trate the meat. In fact, freezing at any
Mme is of no benefit to the quality of
hams, or any other meat, hut has a ten
dency to leave them dry. Smoke the
nams to a light chesnut brown, not to a
black color. When well cured, the hams
inay be very conveniently and perfectly
preserved for use, by surrounding each
one witli a loose bag made of close cotton
cloth. Tins should be tied tightly about
the strings of the ham, so that neither
bugs nor flies can enter. Hang them
lront the rafters iu a well ventilated gar
ret. and usually they will escape both
nr )uld and insects, and improve by age for
oue or more years.
W» have also kept hams by packing in
fine salt. If it is dry, and kept in a dry
rplkcfei if aufvy'erY tvfil. They will not
'bsbrb much more salt; but if damp, they
may become perfectly saturaled. We
. ive also packed in dean dry ashes, but
t ie result was not very satisfactory.
We Jr£p£ht the for curing
».mud pork. Sweet, tight casks; plenty
of turre sab, so that some shall remain
unfii-olved; the meat to be cooled fcut
not frozen, and kept at a moderate tern

i Lari) should W Hhed ns dnofi as convert
i ient. It must not lie in a close heap
while warm, or tha pni,t about ibe kid

; up lor trying, remove all ihe Jean. Use
I a very tru derate heat, especially at fust,
J and cock till the scraps turn of a light

to be strained and may be depended upon

Growing Forest' Trees. — Andrew
S. Fuller Says:, Seeding forest trCV'f ran
be profitably grown at a dollar a thous
and, nt one year old, MaplesI can grow
for twenty-five cents a thousand. I have
seen seedling maples three years old, two
inches in diameter. If. the planting of
seeds of forest trees was practiced exten
sively, we wight have in a few years an
incxhatisublgjsupply oj! wood atjd tipiber.
The shed nf^siwrm«ptc ripens in June, J
and must he planted immediately, or they :
will not vegetate. The whoje of tub j
plains, or "barrens,” as they are called,
on Long Island, may be planted with
maple or other forest tree seed, and grow
a most profitable crop. I have no diffi
culty in transplanting hickory trees, if the
top roots are cut one or two years before
I move (he trees. There is no difficulty,
in transplanting large trees, if care is
taken. No tap-rooted tree can be moved
safely, without previously cutting the lap
roots.
