HOG KILLING.
bcRlding, ScRapinE, Cleaning nd
eating up the Carcass.

Catttna Up the Carcass.
The best meat is obtained from hogs
that are kept growing and putting on
flesh close up TO killing time. The ami
NAL should not be fed for about TWEEN
ty-four hours before slaughter. When
a pig Is to be killed see that the knives
are sharp and in good form and that
everything iE in readiness for scrapine
and hanging the carcass. A cheap and
suitable scalding vat can be found in
paratfin cssk, which may be set in Il
slantng position at the end of the
scraping table. which should be about
six feet long. two feet six inches wide
and two feet high The water should
be at temperature of between $50
and Is degrees when the hog is placed
therein. f toe hot or too cold the hair
will not come off properly.
The old fashioned plan of testing the
temperature was TO pour few drops
of the pigs blood into the water. If it
spread evenly over the surface the tenn
pprature was considered right Tie
water should not be removed from the
fire until it is quite boiling, and then if
put into cold barrel the temperature
will be about right when the pig is
ready to be put into it. A small shovel
full of wood ashes or large handful Of
soft soap put into the water will facili=
tate the looSening of the seurf.
After sticking or shooting the pig
wait until life is quite extinct before
putting into the water. If this is not
done the blood in the capillaries Of the
skin will be CONCEALED and the skin be
redeemed. Try the hair often to know
when sufficiently scalded. Remove the
hair from the feet and head with the
hands or with a scraper-the lid of an
old coffeepot is an excellent implement
and then from the body If properly
scalded it will come off easily. When
the hair is removed scrape the body
clean and trim it up with a sharp
knife. Hang the carcass up, wash
with hot water. then scrape. rinse with
cold water and be careful to remove
all scurf. Open the body. put the in
tcstines down and separate the coll
