CLEMS0N POINTS OUT BEST VAT TO CURE HOGS DonartBMBf of Give. Ad- to Fa Day* That Are to Come Are Rife With Peril to Porker*. 7 —V P. H. Calvin, live stock demonstration expert at Clemson College, gives the following advice about curing meat so as to make it more palatable: Of the two common methods of cur ing meat on the farm, dry salting, which is understood by most farmers, often produces meat which becomes too hard, dry and salty, but excellent meat may be made by this method. The other way is to immerse the meat in a brine solution. This is one of the very best methods and danger of un satisfactory results is reduced to a min imum. The brine solution is as follows for each 100 pounds of meat: 12 pounds common salt.' 3 lbs. brown sugar. 3 oz. saltpetre. 6 gals, water. These ingredients should be boiled together gently for an hour. It is best to make the • brine the day before im mersing as it should be cold when used. A well cleaned syrup barrel is a good vessel for the brine and meat. The pieces of meat should be nicely trimmed and placed in the barrel meat side up, and a heavy weight placed on top. Then the brine should be poured over the meat so that the top piece of meat will be at least two inches below the surface of the brine. The brine should be examined fre quently and should it become ropy or tainted each piece of meat should be carefully washed and a new brine made. Small pieces of meat should remain in brine from 30 to 40 days and large hams might remain 50 days. When the meat has been in brine the required length of time, it should be taken out, hung up for two or three days and then smoked. Three or four days of contin uous smoking should be sufficient if a tight house is used. After smoking, the meat should be allowed to cool, and may then be 1 wrapped in paper and placed in a strong bag which is tied tightly ^nd hung up. The outside of the bag should be painted with a solu tion to keep out insects. A paste made of lime, glue and water will answer the purpose. Allow the h£ns free range. Wire in the garden, not the hens. Stronger fertility is' secured from birds on range. Remove the male bird* from the flock as soon as the hatching seaaon is over, so as to produce infertile eggs. Infertile eggs are produced by hens having ho male birds with them. ' Infertile eggs keep much better than those that are fertile. The male bird has no influence on the number of eggs laid. The hen’s greatest profit-producing period is the first and second years. February and March are the best hatching months. Chicks hatched dur ing these months are freer from sore head than those hatched later. Do not allow sittingflens to remain in the henhouse. By so doing many eggs are started to incubate, which renders them unfit for use at home or to market. ‘ If possible place the brood coops near the cornfield, which furnishes both shade and fresh ground. The free use of kerosene or crude petroleum on the roosts, dropping boards, in the cracks, and around the nests will exterminate mitesr White wash is also good. Spray the brood coops once a week with some of these solutions and move to fresh ground. For additional poultry information get in touch with your county agent and State agricultural college. Write to the Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., for Farmers’ Bulletins on poultry. They are free for the asking. Notice to Creditors.
