salt them well, allowing to each joint at the rate
of a desert spoonful of Saltpetre and two of
Brown Sugar or molasses - mix this well
together - and rub it on your pork, before you
put on the Salt; pack your meat as [close?] as

three weeks will be long enough for them to
lay in salt, but large ones will require
four weeks to take a sufficient salt to insure
your having good Bacon. allow an interval
of two or three days to elapse, after hanging
up your meat, before you begin to make Smoakes
which must be regularly kept up till your
meat looks quite dark; then take it down,
and expose it to the Sun for an hour or two-
