suitable scalding vat can be found in n

scraping table, which should be abou:
Bix feet long, two feet six Inches wide
and two feet high. Tho water should
be nt u temperature of between 180
and 185 degrees when tho hog is placed
therein. If too hot cr too cold tho bah
will not come off properly.
The old fashioned plan of testing the
tempera lure was to pour a few- drops
of the pig's blood Into the water. If il
spread evenly over tho surface tba tem
perature was considered right. The
waler should not be removed from the
fire until It is quite boiling, and then If
put into a cold barrel the temperature
will be about right when the pig Is
ready to be put into lt. A small shovel
ful cf wood oshea or it large h a nd fill of
soft soap put into tho water will facili
tate tho loosening of the scurf.
After sticking or shooting tho pig
walt until life ls quite extinct before
putting into the water.- If this is not
done the blood in the Capillaries of the

when suflleiently scalded. Removo the
hair from the feet and head with the

old coffeepot is uti escelleiil implement
-and then from Ibo body. If properly
scalded It will come o'3f easby. When
