Smoking cured pork colors, flavors, and dries the meat say livestock specialists of Clem son College and the C. K. Department of Agriculture. Smoking is thought to delay the development of rancidity in the fat of cured pork that is stored through the summer months. Sometimes pieces of cured meat will show signs of souring when rcmoved from smoke. This results from the fact that the moderate heat of the smoke-house has hastened the development of some taint or spoilage already starter! in the meat. The trouble was started, however, by some' improper methods of bleeding or chill-1 ing of curing rather than by smok-' ing. Meat having the characteristic odor of putrefaction should be discarded. Any hardwood such as hickory, oak, maple, or apple may be used for smoking m^at. Some use corn cobs. Resinous woods blacken moat ami add an undesirable flavor. The temperature of the smokehouse normally varies between 70 ami 120 degrees Farenheit. Most farmers smoke meat for summer storage at temperatures below 100 degrees. Kl\(i!
