For Keeping Cured Meats

Procure a large box, cover the bottom with a layer of common field corn (shelled); put a layer of the meat, another of corn, alternately, in this way until the box is nearly filled, having a thick layer of the corn on top. This is an excellent remedy for keeping hams, shoulders, or side meat. The corn can be used for fattening hogs and other purposes after the meat nas all been used from the box. All who try this plan will like it. -Mrs. Dan Rogers, Grand Cane, La. 6 CHAPTER IX.
