the ham joints receive parti cular attention pack the meat into a large crock and allow to remain tot seven days the small pieces should be sufficiently cured by this time but the larger pieces should be again nibbed thoroughly with the mixture and cloeely repacked at the end orf three weeks the sides should be done for the hams and shoulders allow three days per pound per piece when the curing is finished the meat should be washed thoroughly and hung to jhip until dry it should then be wrapped in paper or cotton bags and hung in a dry atmosphere in a room that is quite dark and well- ventilated the pieces should not touch each other or if such a room is not available the meat will keep equally well if when dry it is packed tn oats or oat hulls i n an ordinary barn or shed or other
