’ ■ . ■ . . . AGRICULTURAL. 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.” From the Agriculturalist. 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.
