BUTCHERING BULLETIN
With the coming of locker plants
and home freezers, farm butchering
can be made more meaningful.
We used to get tired of fresh
meat, trying to eat it before it
spoiled. But now we can prepare,
pack, and freeze it in the fresh
uncured state and keep it as long
as needed.
I can well remember butchering
time at home. We were hungry
for the fresh pork products at
first. But soon we had enough,
but it was there, and had to be
eaten, that is, such parts of it
as couldn’t be cured and kept.
Now the freezer takes care of
that and we can have it all along
and enjoy it to the end.
Clemson’s Bulletin 77 entitled
“Pork for Carolina Farmers” has
been revised and is available at
your county agent’s office. For
those rusty on butchering, it tells
the whole story from selecting
the right hogs on down to the
finished products.
not needed at planting time. It is
best applied around tree after
growth starts. Prune top at trans
planting time to balance roots lost.
Water at transplanting time, even
though soil moisture is good.
Watering settles soil firmly about
the roots.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY

HYDRANGEA COLOR
Aluminum in the soil makes
hydrangeas change from pink to
blue, our specialists tell me. Acit
soils make aluminum become a-
vailable. And that’s why acid soils
make blue flowers. Otherwise they
will be pink.
Last summer at the Finney home
in Clinton I saw the most beauti
ful bed of pink and blue hydran
geas I’ve ever seen. By putting
acid materials to some and not
to others, they got a veritable
rainbow of colors, all mingled
there.
TIME TO SET THINGS
As soon after killing frost as
possible is the best time to trans
plant trees and shrubs. And right
now, in the dead of winter, is
still good time. For, set now, they
have time to get firmly establish
ed in the soil before the growth
season arrives in the spring. And
the roots of woody plants grow
some even in the wintertime. So
set now, this new growth has time
to take place and have the trees
better ready to meet growth de
mands in their new setting when
it comes with warm weather.
A few suggestions about trans
planting.
Dig plants with care, to save
as many roots as possible. Prune
off any damaged roots. Dig holes
bigger than root system will re-
suire. Put some topsoil in first.
Then hold tree at natural depth
and fill in and firm roots into
their natural positions. Don’t plant
deeper than tree was in ground
before. Leave a slight depression
around it to aid when watering
becomes necessary. Fertilizer is
OCONEE APPLES
Based on the perfection to which
the Long Creek Apple growers,
up in Oconee county, have learned
to grow' them, it looks like real
apple industry might well be de
veloped there. I don’t beleive more
beautiful apples have ever been
grown anywhere than those grow-
ers had up there last fall. You
might have seen some of ,‘em at
the State Fair. And I’m sure no
better quality, better tasting ones
are grown anywhere I’ve ever eaten
‘em from. County Agent Morgan
tells me the acreage is gradually
growing. The past season they had
a rather short crop, about 50 per
cent, and have harvested only
about 50,000 bushels of beauties.
Good apples are hard to grow,
harder than peaches. But With
modern equipment and the spray
calendar worked out by Clemson,
Oconee growers have proved they
can produce them to perfection.
Even though droughts are not so
frequent and destructive there
in the near mountains, they do
hurt. And I visited several grow
ers who are planning for irrigation
now. They are planting on con
tour beds with an eye to gravity
Memories of boyhood in the
Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork
return often. None are fonder
than those surrounding country
ham. And they start back at
butchering time.
Each family had from 2 to 4
hogs to kill. One was always
a large one to get the year’s
supply of lard from, in addition
to some big cured meat. This
one was killed in the dead of
winter to insure a keep. A smaller
j one, about 200 pounds, was us
ualiy killed about Thanksgiving
time, and another of this sort
on out in late winter, after the
fresh trimmings from the big one
gave out.
I liked everything about butcher
ing. The main thing was, they
let us stay home from school
on that day. I now wonder that
they did, for we surely had to
be badly in the way. But they
did, knowing how we enjoyed it.
We awoke with the grown folks
before day, for that great event.
It was invaribiy cold, very cold.
I can hear the steps cracking
now, as we found our way down
stairs to the roaring fire in the
open fireplace. There we thawed
out our things arid put ‘em on.
By that time the grown folks
and neighbors, who came to help,
had the fires started under the
afternoon before. It was still dark
when we got there, and jackfrost
crunched underfoot as we ran to
the raging fire. There we kept
turning to warm the other side
until we sort of got used to it
out there.
As the water started to smoke
the men went down to the hogpen
with axe. We went with them
and climbed upon the other side
to see the killin’. The girls would
go back in the house so as not to
even hear the squeal, if there was
one. The handiest man with the
axe soon dispatched the hog and
struck him. As he bled they tore
down one side of the rail pen to
get him out. Then several of the
strongest men dragged him up to
the scalding spot near the boiling
pots. If the hog wasn’t too
heavy, it was scalded in a barrel

set slanting in the ground, the
head end first and then the tail.
But a large hog that wouldn’t go
in the barrel had to be scalded by
covering with heavy layers of
sacks and the hot water poured on.
That water had ashes in it to
make it clean better.
I’ve run out of space and
haven‘t got to that country ham
I started out to tell about. We’ll
have to continue this next week.

irrigation so as not to get water
on the foilage to cause diseases
and wash the spray material off.
