Weather conditions af- ] feet meat curing to some extent but j "they can be overcome. ' The pork carcass should be divi- ; 'ded on the basis of lean or fat, thick 'or thin. Properly divided, there wyi? < be ham, loin, bacon, shoulder aivdL] head says D. T. Herrman, Extension < Swine Specialist who makes the fol- ' 'loafing suggestions on curing meat. The ham is cut ,off just back of ' t 'the rise of the backbone and at right angles to the teg. The hindleg is : 'cut off an inch above the hock, and the foreleg an inch above the knee. The head is cut from the shoulder at the atlas joint and includes all of ' the jowl meat. The shoulder is cut off between the third and fourth J ribs and at night angles to the body. * The bacon is cut from the loin just below the tenderloin muscle on the rear part of the middle and parallel to the back. All of these cuts require trfimming and squaring. This improves the appearance of the finished product, and makes for' uniform curing. No more lean meat y than necessary should be exposed, as curing hardens it. All loose pieces should be trimmed off, for they dry out in curing. All but one-fourth inch of fat should be trimmed off the % . loin and put toto the lard, care being taken in trimming this off not to cut into the loin. Lean trimmings and head meat go | into the sausage, fat ta^mmings in&> | the lard. The loin and. sausage are I used for fresh meat an^ the rema^p! der is cured. . ' V The first essential tb successful curing is thorough,, cooling, but thj? meat should not be frozen at anp time. Bither brine Or dry- coring* will be satisfactory. ^"Bririe requre'F less work unless it gets ropy and in this case must be drawn off and boded or a new brine made. Brine ' also kefeps away insects and vermin. During warm weather the dry method is much safer. [Whichever method is used it is advisable to rub the S 1 surface of the meat with fine salt and allow it to draizrfor>6 to 12 hours before packing in the cure. - Brine Method of Coring. \ For brine cbring use 10 pounds of salt, 2 1-2 pounds of sugar, 2 ounces of saltpeter, 4 1-2 gallon? of water for every 100 pounds of meat. Boil these in the wate*\ sc that they will be,thoroughly dissolved and allow to\ cool. ... Paclc hams ot j brir.'.-j being- sure that it covets theL-meaf . In fly*, days dra.v off *. the .reverb' the order of';paefcj??y-1 - and. po.ar the brine bavfc Eighteenth days. Allow four days [ cure for -.ach pound of ham and shoulder in 'a piece, and three days for .each pound in a piece of bacon. f Dry Method. For dry curing use 6 to 7 pounds " | of salt, 2 1-2 pounds of saltpeter for | every 100 pounds of meat. (Two ounces of red pepper and 4 ounces of black pepper may be used if desired) . Aftix thoroughly, rub onethird on the meat the first day and' pack; unpack on the third day and rub in one-third more and repack; and on the seventh day rub on the remainder and pack the meat . to cure. Allow twoi. days in the cure for each pound in a piece of bacon, and 2 lr2 days for each pound in a ham or shoulder. ? Much of the superiority ; of packers' meat comes from proper soaking ; after curing and before, smoking. j This brightens the meat and remove* excess sail, wnr.cn wjli harden and form a crust if left on through the smoking-, process. The; packers use water at about to degrees Fahrenheit j ;\ and soak hams , or shoulders tw.Q . hours, bacon i 1-2 hours, t Some-; t * times meat must be left in tnfe curt longer than the standard timej, and then they add. three mnnutes extjfa' for each day over time. 'i: I After hanging ^^ut three hour?-, to drip, the meat ik^ready to- smotoe. Green hickory c^trttole makes twl best smokej^ Jjut aMy^ardwood^irtri do Soft e or re^n4us woodxi are very unsatisfactory. A mi'ld smoke of 24 to 36 hours is most common. . Twelve hours should be minimum ,and meats that are to be - V<~L i kept into the summer should,- *be smoked longer than 36 hofcrrs. The fanner's rkhlpe for sausage is generally governed by tasting, but tc ' insure a uniform product the following may be used as a standard: 1 1-3 "fo. 1 3-4 pounds of salt, 2 ounces of grouhd sage, 4 ounces of black pepper for 100 pounds of meat, with 1 ? ; 4 ounce of nutmeg, , * i * "i r *** ssBBHgws?
