(By W. HANSON, IllinolsD
In order to do neat and rapid work
at hog-killing time, 1t Is necessary TO
have a good scraper. sticking knife, a
hog hook and q place that is conven-
lent for working.
For scalding, a barrel Is commonly
used, and 1t Is all that Is needed un-
less the hogs are very large. II very
large hogs are killed, scalding tub
will answer the purpose for scalding
much better than barrel.
l have one which is made OF two
inch planks for the sides and ends,
and sheet iron for the bottom. 1t ID
six feet long and three and one-half
feet wide, with a depth OF two and
one-half feet.
Two hooks are fastened near the
top on one side, with pair Of trace
chains to run under the hog, to facil'
itate the turning and withdrawing
from the tub.
1t Is placed over a furnace, which
is made by digging trench In the
ground, and when in use place pieces
Of wood across the bottom, in order
to keep the hog from coming IN con-
tact with the iron bottom and getting
too hot.
l find that the proper temperature
for good scalding Is from 1870 to 1870
degrees, and II barrel Is to be used,
the water should be boiling when
dipped out of the kettle, as the barrel
will cool 1t some.
H a scalding tub is used, the water
should be- cooled by adding bucket
of cold water before the hog is put in.
To insure a correct heat Of the wa
ter, use a thermometer. Small GUAM
titles of lye, ashes or lime will have
no effect in removing the hair, but
will cause the scurf to come loose
more readily.
A hog hook Is almost indispensable,
and II one Is to be made 1t should be
made in the form Of a hay or bale
hook. In fact, I find that hay hook
answers the purpose very well.
In handling the hog, stick the hook
in the flesh Of the lower jaw, just be-
hind the fork Of the jaw bone. How
ever. the hook may be stuck under the
tendons of the hind legs.
Keep the hog in constant motion
while being scalded, and draw it out
to air occasionally. When the hair
and scurf slip easily from the body
the scalding is completed.
In scrapfng and cleaning the hog,
] clean the feet and head first, then
the legs. and last but not least, the
body.
I hang the hog with rope and
pulley, as it is more easily hung in
this way than any other. But It may
be hung with the ordinary gambrel, a
stick which is sharpened at each end
and inserted under the tendon strings
of the hind legs.
A short singletree will be found to
answer for gambrel-stick. II there
is sufficient help at hand, the hog may

The amount Of salt use is ten

room, where 1t will neither become

Two barrels may be used, changing
the meat from one to the other each
time 1t is rubbed. After the last rub
bling let the meat lie in box for
week or ten days, then take 1t out to
smoke. When taken out Of the box
dip each piece in kettle of boiling
water and let it remain half a minute,
after which sprinkle little powdered
borax on the meat side, and hang.
Smoke i foYr q Aye days with

put 1t down in clean hay.
The hot water destroys any fly eggs
that may have been deposited, and the
borax prevents flies from depositing
fresh ones.
Meat treated in this manner may be
left hanging all summer and will re-

Cisterns are usually made Of brick

conductors from the eve troughs of
the roof of the house or barn. The
SCOT, dust, leaves and other foreign
matter on the roof and in the trough
are washed into the cistern, writes

Farmer. This settles to the bottom,
making heavy deposit of slime and
filth, and the water, which is always
drawn from the bottom by the pump,
comes up dirty and foul smelling. If
