Prof. ft. m'tinkford, of UMtfbcnfcy of Moswftain Park echoo^1 Sorry oowty, an ftonom?/ inendar ef the IfiMrin KiwanU chd, has written the following article about his hobby, "Ham*" to the current number of the magazine: "Well, sir, my hobby's ham. You wonder if I arm serious? 'I tell you, sir, I am. Yes, ham's my hobby. Not eating it?that/* my passionate delight but feeding swine to produce hpm, selecting the ham, curing it is a hobby. Kating it is a joyous climax. ? "I've cured hundreds of hams, and I've tried to eat some cured by people who did not know how; and the*e mixtures of hog and salt have almost cured me of eating haw. An iiupron. erly cured ham, one with too -mucn sulipe matter, is an abomination in the taste of an eipicure, a sort of Keeley Institute for the1 ifeptypsion of physical avarice, ibut a good, weJlcure^l ham is an anxious joy to all who get even a smell -while it is being fried; and to get a taste is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Given the choice of a pig, the feeding, the killing, bleeding, and dressing of the porker, then the curing, I can develop a perfect ham. Denied any one of these factors, I am not always sure the ham will top the list. B&t often I have selected a ham from the butcher and perfected a fair specimen by properly curing. It's a fairly easy matter to select a good cared ham from a dealer, if one has had proper training in selecting ham. I pass over the green ham and scribble a few points to guide in selecting a cured one. There is as much dif-j ference in the extefndl appearance of a good, properly cured ham and one of poor quality as there is between a poor scrub shote and a fat, sleek pureJbred. A ham of inferior qualify looks good.

Look at a cured ham, home ctired, I mean. If its skin has a whitisl, or deathly, scaley appearance with neat side showing and feeling somet dng like a dried banana stalk, better >?ss it up. Chances are it's of poor t ual* ity. But looflc a/t another. - It ha i ?n oily, rt1 d(fish appearance''of .*kir? a sort of variegated marbling tint just beneath the cuticle. Press on the ham at different places with the ball of the thumb. If it gives a hard, pneumatic rubber [bull reaction, there is a good chance of it's j being a good ham. i A poorly cured ham Is usually' the j result of inferior quality, to >tart with, or the lack of pr&per amount iind proportioning of the curing agen: cies?salt. etc. Often only salt is I used; whereas sugar and j>epper, black and cayenne, should always be added.

Butter Quality Is < Increasing In S. C.

G. (Xstbauui, extension dairymen. . The Dairy Division, cooperating with the Bureau of Dairying of the United State# Department of Agriculture, haa been conducting a series of educational cream adoring projects with creameriee in the state*. Each patron'# cream haa been scored at intervals and suggestions made ae to practices on the farm which would tend tp raise the quality. The quality of the butter manufactured is in direct relation to the quality of cream produced qd the farm and delivered to the creamery. Mr. Joel J. Winkjer of the Bureau of Dairying, recently summarized this work by stating that the average quality of South Carolina manufactured butter haa been raided two point*. Thia ia a very significant mark of progress but most important of afll is the comparison of the quality of butter now manufactured in the state with that of butter shipped in. ? To determine this comparison, Mr. Winkjer, in a recent butter scoring .project, scored several samples of butter shipped into the state and compared the $eores with that of samples of South Carolina made butter. The average score of the South Carolina-made butter was 89.G per cent and that shipper! in was 88 per cent. This fact should contribute to the value of the effort now being made to fosteV the eonsumption in South Carolina homemade (products. Mr. Cushman says that recognition of this fact by the South -Carolina housewife will be of untold value commercially to creameries in the state, for we do not produce even a small part of the total consumption of creamery butter in South Carolina.
