sTEAmING FOOD FOR HOGsJ

STEAMING FOOD FOR HOGSI
Mr.. NJ K. Young writes to the Western
Farmer as follows:
''In any arrangement contemplating
winter use, the cookingroom must have
ready access to the root cellar as well as
the corn crib, water tank or cistern, wood
shed and hog pens, in order to involve the
least labor of cooking as well as feeding.
1t must be SO constructed as to keep the
temperature above the freezing point for
the reason that uncOnsumed cooked food
ought not to be fed in frozen condition,
and for the additional reason that corn in
the ear should be soaked thirty or more
hours iRwater as preliminary to the pro-
cess of cook ng by steam. This water
soaking in the winter would have to be
done in the cookingroom. In summer, it
should not, if less convenient to feed, for
the reason the farmer frequently wants to
alternate soaked corn with cooked roots
or cooked corn, as he may deem proper,
from such facts as he may encounter in
the whole or any part of his piggery.
"For economizing heat, the steaming
pan should be nine or ten inches long,
not more than five inches deep, and the
width to correspond, with ordinary sheet
iron, of which the bottom is made, which
bottom is made to turn up over the edges
of the side, and is secured by closely
driven threepenny nails or eighteen ounce
tacks. The sides of the pan should be of
two-inch hard maple plank, dove-tailed
together in white lead at the corners, and
covered with lid of inch-piBe boards,
matched and battened with wood screws.
'SThe lid should have a two-inch hole
for steam pipe and funnel hole through
which to fill the pan with water. This
steaming pan must be set in an arch of
brick or stone, with such chimney and
draught as to secure the best conditions of
combustion and best application of heat
to It's bottom. The cooking box can be
made of any size or material you may de-
sire, but should be steam tight; any small
leaks may be readily stopped with clay
mortar from an ordinary mason trowel.
You can give the cooking box position
above, or at the side of the steaming pan,
as may best accord with general conven-
ience
'Gf, however, you introduce your steam
at the side of your cooking box, you will
have to use false bottom in the box, 50
as to allow the steam to pass under the food
to be cooked.
"You can have your mess box seated
upon railroad trucks, to run upon wooden
rails from your steaming box to your hog
yard, with such appliances of force as
may be adapted to the grade between the
two points.
''You can arrange to throw your steam
pipe into your Hscalding box" or tub, in
butcherfng, and have such other slaugh-
tering conveniences as you need attached
to your cooking room.
'In cooking potatoes for hogs, use one
third sugar beets, sweet German turnips,
sweet pumpkins or Hubbard squash, so
as to have the sugar as well as the starch.
This, though not indispensable, is better
than potatoes alone, but either is much
better food for hogs in warm weather
than dry corn, food that should never
be given to hogs, if water can be had to
soak il"
