Mrs. McKeon asserted that many

does not attract attention it fails in

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. A good well cured ham

a good judge of ham than a bottfe of
cologne can take on the odor of n*afoetida.
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

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,

added. Sugar is a preservative while

Butter Quality Is

says 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.
