Lard, Preserving Unmelted

Take the fat from the inside of a newly-killed pig, rub it all over with salt, and let it lie for two days. Drain it, and put it into salt and water sufficiently strong to float an egg. Change this occasionally in warm weather. Lay the lard in fresh water for two or three hours before using it.
