It advises salting, draining, and packing meats with bacon strips in a barrel, using a brine made from salt, brown sugar, saltpeter, and water. Ratios are 8 pounds salt 2 pounds brown sugar and 2 ounces saltpeter per 100 pounds of meat. Bacon takes 4-6 weeks brine and hams 6-8 weeks. For summer use boil the brine. for winter curing no boil is needed. Hams and bacon cured in spring keep through summer after smoking and should be sweet and palatable when smoked properly.
