To save pork.
--A correspondent gives, through the Columbus Enquirer, the following recipe for saving pork, in an economical manner. He says several gentlemen have successfully practiced it in the past year, in Harris county, Ga:‘ To five gallons of water add seven pounds of salt, one pint of syrup, and one teaspoonful of pounded saltpetre. After the pork is cooled in the usual way, pack in barrels, and cover with the above mixture. Let it remain four or five weeks, and hang and smoke in the usual manner.
Thus, twenty pounds of salt are made to save 1,000 pounds of pork.
