"RAZORBACK" HAMS.
Great American Product and How
II Was Named

-
One of the best and apparently not
the least appreciated of the many i'm
portant food products which America
sends to England and France is the
celebrated 'Smithfeld' or .razorback'
ham, for about IS, 600 of such hams are
annually shipped . those two countries
from this city, said leading exporter
of provisions in New York to a writer
for the Washington Star. I'm Eng
land, where the domestic hams have q
tendency to be fat and coarse, our
Smithfield hams have among connois-
seurs very high reputation for lean.
ness and great delicacy of flavor, both
of which qualities are not thought to
be excelled by even the famous West.
phalian hams of Germany. AS the Brit
ish consumer is willing to pay a fancy
price for the product, some of our
choicest 'razorbacks' are exported to
John Bulls markets.
The name 'razorback' is derived
from small town on Pagan creek, near
Norfolk, Va, where some hundred
years ago the hams were first cured by
a man named Todd of Smithfeld. The
animal which produces the Smithfield
ham is semiwild hog that is found in
the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee. The hog peculiar to
these regions is lorg nosed, slabsided
and has unusually long legs 1t is not
prepossessing animal but when proper
ly fed it supplies ham that is unex-
celled anywhere in the world.
Much of the fine flavor which is
characteristic of these hams is largely
due to the care that is exercised by the
farmers in feeding the hogs. In summer
the young 'razorback' is allowed to
run wild in the woods, and his meat
thereby gains gamy flavor by fall,
when he is turned into a field from
which crops have been gathered in Ca
der to fatten. In the district which
produces the most Smithfield hams
there are large quantities of sweet po-
tatoes and peanuts grown.
Both these foods fatten the animal
with astonishing rapidity, but the fat
is still soft. So the next step is to pen
the hog up and give him corn and
plenty of clear water. With this diet
the animals flesh hardens quickly to
the desired extent, and he is then ready
to kill The curing is done with Liver
pool salt and saltpeter, after which the
hams are washed clean and slowly
smoked for 40 days over green hickory
or red oak wood. Many farmers raise
the hogs, but few cure them. They are
sold to skillful curers, who supply the
market ("
