Pnre Leaf Lard.
Previous to last March, the pork
slaughtering business in Honolulu
was Unfortunately carried on by
Cinnamon and others, without any
regard to sanitary matters. But
since then the Board of Health has
required that this business shall be
conducted at Iwilei under the in
spection of health officer. The
Hawaiian Pork Packing Company
was recently organized for the bus
mess of slaughtering hogs, and at
present does this class of work for
the retail dealers.
The company has about 500
hogs at the yards, mostly imported,
and only choice grain and bran is
used in fattening the same. The
company import hogs only from
necessity, as the home supply is
not adequate. The pens are built
over salt water and are thoroughly
cleansed twice day. This fact
and the character of the feed used
guarantees the pork to be of SUI
psrior quality, and free from any
noxious faint. The flesh thus pro-
duced is firm and even in grain
owing to the superior nature of the
food used.
A SUBSTANTIAL CONCERN.
The company is stock concern,
Z. c. Winston being president,
and Hon. John Ena treasurer.
The stock is owned by leading
BUSINESS men of Honolulu. In
addition to slaughtering, the COM
pany will furnish sucking pigs and
roasters of any size, either slaugh-
tered or on foot. Hogs and pigs
of any size are also sold in guam
titles to suit, or will be slaughtered
to order.
AS all the pork sold by reputable
dealers is furnished by this COM
pany, it follows that none need
refrain from using the same, fear
ing that it may be unwholesome OF
improperly prepared.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
The fact that the company has
provided the citizens of Honolulu
with an appetizing quality of pork
which may be eaten by the most
fastidious is matter for congratu,
lation; and, in addition to this
the company has just completed
arrangements for the manufacture
of leaf lard.
A plant is now in operation, and
a superior quality of extra leaf larG
is being produced which is fal
superior to any imported article
Many thousand pounds of lard anC
lard-compound" are consumed
annually, and the proposition
to manufacture this staple il
Hawaii is one which should
commend itself to everyone. Ger
tainly new industries and manufac
tories are greatly needed here, an(
the Hawaiian Packing Compan,
in instituting this industry ar,
marking out way which, it is t,
be hoped, will be followed b.
others.
A sample tin of the lard ha
been left at the ADVERTISER office
and its purity is beyond question
a wELL-APPoINTED ESTABLISHMENT
An ADVERTISER reporter visited
the yards at Iwilei and found
well appointed and well conductet
slaughtering outfit, that is as com
plete as any of the large establish
ments in the States, and whicl
can be enlarged as the bushes
demands. The huge scalding tan
is heated by steam, and the differ
ent operations, from separating tn
hogs to delivering to the wagons
are carried on Systematically an,
expeditiously.
At Iwilei, leaf lard is only mad
from the largest and fattest ami
mails, thus insuring choice prod
uet. The fat is thorough
, cooked, strained, settled and tn
lard is then manipulated in a tan
until nearly cool, when it is draw
into tins.
''LARD (?) COMPOUNDS"
A gentleman who is acquainte
with the lard manufacture in tn
States made the following observa
tons: THE so-called slard-com
pound is not lard" The legisls
lures of many States compelle
: pork packing establishments t
distinguish between lard" an
base limitations. Lard-eompoun
is a compound, but into its CON
position pure lard hardly enter:
Q And to begin with, the refuse c
; the slaughterhouse is cooked, an
this is the origin of the lard POI
