CURING FQDDER.
In the Carolina Planter, we find a meth
od of curing fodder, thus piquantly de
scribed :
“A pole is placed in the ground, at the
spot where you intend to stack. Four oth
er poles, or fence rails, if your stack be
small, are placed around the centre pole
about a foot or more from the bottom, and
then all tied together, at the top, with a
grape vine or any thing handy, forming a
cone. Place some brush or a few rails at
the bottom, so as to raise the fodder a little
off the ground. Then commence . laying
your fodder in single bundles around this
cone, and when you have finished, it will
be a hollow stack. The air having free
passage underneath the stack, will circu
late in the hollow, and the fodder will finish
curing in the shade and unexposed to the
weather. You may cure and stack pea
vines in the same way.
“For this improvement, as I conceive it
to be, I am indebted to an agricultural
friend who has had 40 years’ experience
in planting, and who had all his life follow
ed the ‘good old way’ of curing and stack
ing fodder, until about two years ago, he
happened to learn from an agricultural pa
per—not an ‘old negro,’ that the best mode
of curing hay, &c., was to expose it but lit
tle to the sun; he conceived his plan of
stacking fodder so as to have it cured part
ly in the shade. He has adopted the plan
for the last two years, and thinks he makes
better fodder by it, and certainly runs less
risk of the weather. I have also had my
fodder stacked in the same way, and I now
send it to you to make * book-knowledge ’
Jofit.”

ON MAKING GOOD BACON.
The beginning of a year is generally the
time for putting up Pork for Bacon ; as this
is a standing dish in the West, I have con
cluded to give you the result of thirty year’s
experience upon this important subject.—
The first thing necessary to make good Ba
con, is to have fat hogs—slaughter them in
the beginning of the week, so that you can
take care of the offal before Saturday night;
otherwise, if a warm day or two should in
tervene, part of it may be lost. It is high
ly important that hogs, slaughtered for ba
son, should be well bled—the more com
pletely the vessels are emptied of blood, the
less disposition there is in meat to taint or
purify as soon as the hog is well cleaned
and hung up, it should be freely washed
with warm water, wiped with a towel, and
carefully scraped with a sharp knife, espe
cially the head, ears and feet, if you wish
to have good souse or hogs-head-cheese.—
These parts neglected, and
thrown by “for £. -vnetajsflvenient season,”
and then taken up by the cook or some idle
chap about the establishment, and the hair
singed off, and the skin burned until it be
comes black and bitter ; thereby imparting
its color and taste to the souse and hogs
head-cheese. After gutting the hog, the
inside should be carefully and freely wash
ed witheofdwater, with the mouth open, so
that the whole may pass through the throat
and remain in this condition until complete
ly cool, which will generally take place,
even in moderate weather, in one night.—
If the weather should be so mild that it will
not cool in one night, it had better be cut
up, and spread upon brick and stone pave
ments, previously wet with cold water; if
the meat is still soft, dash cold water upon
it, and it will soon be ready for the salt, but
in all cases it should be perfectly cool if
practicable. In one or two instances, I
have made as good bacon as I have ever
made, out of meat frozen so hard that it had
to be cut up entirely with an axe. As to
. the mode of salting and the quantity of salt
necessary to cure pork, so as to make good
bacon, every man thinks that he knows bet
ter than his neighbor. I have experimented
for the purpose of ascertaining'the best mode
of salting down pork, as also the proper
quantity of salt and other ingredients, such |
at sugar, molasses, red pepper and saltpe
tre, all of which have their advocates, and
have settled down and pursued the follow
ing practice for the last twenty years.—
[Measure a bushel of salt—spread it upon
a table—weigh a pound of saltpetre—pul
verize it carefully, and mix it thoroughly
with the salt. This mixture is sufficient
for a thousand weight of small meat, or 8
hundred of large, to be well rubbed upon
every piece, and more especially upon the
fleshy surface, taking care to pack your
joints at the bottom and fill up the little in
terstices with jowls, chine and rounds—the
latter piece is made by cutting the neck off
at the shoulder and jowls.] The length of
time necessary to keep pork in salt to make
bacon, depends upon the weather and the
size of the meat. If the weather is mild
and the meat small, 4 weeks will be long
enough ; but the weather is” cold and the
meat large, it should remain in salt from
six to eight weeks, and should be taken up
at the end of four weeks and well rubbed
and sprinkled with salt, in case the first
has dissolved. It is then to be hung up in
a dark smoke house, and the darker the
better, for tbe purpose of excluding flies—
yoa will sever find flies in a room where
tbe light is completely shutout. Tbe high
er your smoke house the better, so-tbot you
hang your meat out of the influence of
uhc heat—every joint and jowL should! be
hung by the illicit end, aodievery middling
by the thick edge, or that part of the mid
dling which was cut from the back bone;
this I know to be a matter of the first con
sideration in making good bacon—by at
tending strictly to this rule, you will retain
all the juices ofjho meat, as well as the
salt that has been absorbed—or in other
*ords, your meat will not drip ; whereas, if
you-reverse the position and hang it by the
smafl, it will drip, become dry and hard,
and lose in weight; and what I conceive to
be of some importance, its fine flavor. Some
who make good bacon, think that it is im
portant to smoke your meat with some par
ticular kind of wood, but I imagine the only
secret about this matter, is the bitterness
imparted to the meat, thereby rendering the
taste unpleasant to the fly, and by keeping
up a continual smoke, you create an at
mosphere that the fly cannot live in—view
ing the matter thus, we have every day or
two thrown a few pods of red pepper upon
the smoke-wood—this produces an atmos
phere very unfit for the respiration of man,
and I apprehend equally so for the fly. Our
meat continued suspended in tbe smoke
house during the year, is slightly smoked
every morning and plentifully smoked ev
ery damp day. If your readers will ob
serve these rules, I will almost venture to
insure such bacon as would make any epi
cure smack his chops.
JOHN SHELBY.
To divest Milk and Butler of the Taste of
Turnips, Cabbages, Bpc., upon which Cows
have Fed. —Put into each pail of milk, when
fresh drawn from the cows, one pint of boil
ing water. The heat of the water dispels
the odor of the turnip, which becomes vola
tile as the temperature of tbe milk is in
creased. This has been practiced and
proved to be effectual, by the writer, in
cases where cows have been two or three
months in the year upon Swedish turnips.
Marshall states,that hot water is equally
effectual when thus applied, in removing
the taste of wild onions and leeks.
QUALIFIED ABUSE. ~
“ I wish to know sir, if you called me an
ass ?”
“ Yes, sir, but I qualified it.”
“ Aha! sir, you qualified it, did you ?
The better for you, sir; and pray how did
you qualify it ?”
“ I said you were an ass, sir—all but
the cars.”
