Show FATTEI.0 I'D UK. "TIioukIi drad, it runs away." If our folks must eat hwine'n flesh, I would advise iheiu to raise uml fat ten it themselves. Much i fiaid, of late, about an imiiruwd breed of lings. This may be all well enough; but so far as my experience goes in swinish matters, 1 prefer tho corn-fed breed. It is hard, substantial, dry and solid, ami will not run away, in the shade or in (lie sun. lint that which has been imported into our Territory during the past season, mid, sold in our markets at from seven to ten cents per pound, will melt mid run away; and wherever it hangs, it would be saving to place a tin pan underneath to caleh the droppings of oil that fall from it, us you would catch the droppings of Kip from a maple tree; It is called, ''corn-fed pork." Probably the hogs, sometime belnro being killed, might have eaten a few nubbins of corn. Hut they are "slop-fed," spungy and flabby; and when the bacon is put into the pan to fry, it is like putting so much ice or snow over the fire to fry; and when it it is cooked, there is nothing of it. Not so with our own mountain fed pork where there arc few or no distilleries jn operation, liaise your own pork, if you want that which is good, if good lie a suitable adjective to anply to that kind of noun. One pound of bacon ba-con made from corn meal, pea meal and shorts mixed together, is worth two pounds of slop-fed imported. Oitsox Hyde. Spring City, March 14, 1871. |
