Preserved Beef

Mrs. Carter.

For preserving one hundred pounds beef: Six pounds salt, twc ounces salt-petre, two tablespoons soda, two pounds sugar, four gallons water; mix well together; sprinkle the bottom of the barrel with salt; put in the beef with very little salt between each layer; pour over the brine and put on a weight to keep all well covered.
