T. e t ming of Meats.
In some dietriets beef rings have
been organized by the farmers, who
thus ensure themselves fresh meat
duretes the warm weather, and, in ad-
dition, give variety to their diet.
Masora; the fanner's, however, ' are
large slumbers who are not in a beef
ring, or uho prefer the cured meats
for summer. To such people the
recipe e fur curing beef and pork given,
below will be of interest:
An old-faeleoneil recipe for curing
beef calla for eight pounds of salts
two ouncess soda, one ounce saltpetre
and Lee siounds of brown ;sugar to
four gallothe of soft water. This is
supposed to be sufficient for 100
pouncise of beef.
A part of the salt and (sugar is
mixed together and usea to rub each
piece of the sneak as it is put into the
barrel. Before packing the meat,
eover the bottom of the barrel' with
a layer of salt. The remainder of
the salt and sugax is added to the
water with the other ingredients, and
poured scalding hot ever the meat.
Place a board with a weight on top
of It to hold meat under, the brine.
There is a difference between corn-
ed and pickled beef that iss not gen-
erally recognized. Corned beef is
ready for tree at the end, of five days,
but pickled beef may remain in the
brine for three weeks or as many
months.
Xf you wish to dry part of the
beef, remove it from the brine at
thet end of three weeks, place it in a
tub, cover It with water, and let it
remain over night. Smoke it for; a
few days, then bang it from the
ceiling over the kitchen stove until
dry. Cover it with a loose bag
made of cheese cloth or mosquito
netting to protect it from dust and
files. When dried, sprinkle with
black pepper, tie in a paper bag,
and keep in a cool ,dark, place.
The plan adopted by one o,/ the
great American firms in the curing
of their hams is as follows: The hams
are placed in a large 'tray of fine
salt, then the flesh side is eprinkled
with finely -ground crude saltpetre
until the barns are as white as
though covered with a moderate
frost, or, say four or five ozs. of salt-
petre to 100 pounds of green hams.
After applying the saltpetre, im-
mediately ealt with the fine salt, cov-
ering well the entire surface. Now
pack the hams in bulk, but not in
piles more than three feet high. In
ordinary weather the hams should
remain thus for three days. Then
break bulk and re -salt. The hams
thus salted and re -salted, should re-
main in salt, in bu,lk, one day for
each and every pou.nd each ham
weighs—that is, a tenpound ham
should remain ten days, and in such
proportion of time for aaxger and
smeller sizes. Next wash, with .tepid
_water until the hams aro thorough-
'eleaned, and, after partially dry-
ing, rub the entire surface with fine-
ly ground pepper. Then, the hams
ebould be hung in the smoke -house,
and this important operation begun.
The stnoldn,g should be very grad-
ually and slowly done. After tho
hams are cured and smoked, they
should be re -peppered to guard
againet vermin, and then bagged.
These hams are improved svith age,
and are In perfection when one year

CHAPTER. XXII.
I did not mention Miss Farington's
threatened visit until the very mo-
ment when, after dinner, as we were
all turning out for a walk round the
garden, I caught a glimpse of her
little pony carriage 'between the
trees of the drive. Babiole, wrapped
lu a long shawl of Indian embroidery
which I had taken a fancy to in a
bazaar in Calcutta, and had sent
home to her, was standing by a rose
tree and choosing the flower& which
I was to cut. Mrs. Elimer, with char-
aoterietio vivacity, was running
little races with old Ta-ta, whose
failing energy was now satisfied with.
such della performances as these.
The dog stopped short to bark at
the carriage, to whien Mrs. Elimer
now directed my attention.
" Oh, yes, it's Miss Faxington, I
think; she raid she might come round
this evening."
" What I Miss Farington ? Your
young lady! 'And you could forget

"We must go and meet bier," she
said quietly, setting the example of
go4ng up the stepe which led from
terrace- to terrace to the house.
Reminded of my duty, I leaetenecl

to help my visitor out OT the little
carriage. Sue wore a gray Viress,

shadows which had betgua to creep
