To Keep Meat Fresh.

Where persons live a distance from market, and have no fresh meat but

what they kill, it is important to know how to keep it fresh. In winter,

if it is hung up in an out-house, it will keep very well for six weeks,

or more, when it has once frozen, it is safe till a thaw comes on, when

rub it with salt. In the summer, if you have an ice-house, you can keep

it without trouble. If rubbed with salt, and pinned in a cloth, it will

keep in the cellar two days, or by lowering it down your well, attached

to a rope, and changing the cloth every other day, it will keep good a

week in hot weather.
