Preservation of Hams. —As soon as the ham is 
taken from the brine, and while yet wet, dust the flesh 
part with finely ground black pepper. This renders it 
so repulsive to the flies that they will not deposit their 
eggs. An experienced farmer stated some years ago, 
that he preserved his bacon from the attacks of the fly, 
by burning a small quantity of red pepper on the fire 
used for smoking.
