  1. IF bacon is good the fat will feel firm, and have a red tinge; and the lean will be of a good colour, and stick close to the bone; but if you observe any yellow streaks in the lean, it either is, or will be rusty very soon.
  2. If bacon is young, the rind will be thin, but if old it will be thick.
