To Corn Beef or Pork

50 pounds meat. 4 1/2 pounds salt. 1 1/2 pounds brown sugar. 1/2 pound saltpetre. 1 quart molasses.

Mix well, boil and skim. When milk-warm, pour it over the meat with a ladle. The beef must be soaked in clear water and wiped dry, before putting in the brine. It will be ready for use in a few weeks. Should the brine mould, skim and boil again. Keep the meat under the brine.--Mrs. P. W.
