would be a wilt and prudent measure for our
planters generally to eeono- me their bacon sup
plies as uct as possible. One way iq accom
plish this result will be to feed their hogs iato— ,
keep their large hogs until tne last of December, j
kill, iheia and smoke the meat; keep their small j
hoga until March, kill them aud pickle the meat.
Planters who adopt this plan will find it rdry ad
vantageous.
We feuggvftt to the citizens of Florida, ns the
; snullst season will toon begin, tb© propriety of
j catching large quantities of them, and packing
. them. They will afford an excellent substitute
| or bacon, and readily command a good price.—
One third molasses and one third mullet* or other
fish,"will furnish the planter with a substitute fur
bacon, and upon the score of health a far bettei j
food. By pursuing some such eoor»e as the above
planters can live far bet’or, aud bid defiance to I
the blockade.
