Coon ADVICE IS GIVEN
FARMERS ON SAVING MEAT
How Best to Apply Ice In
Process

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 13.-The farmers
of this section of the state have lost
so much meat this year from spelling
that all of them are trying to find
some sure way to save it. Many farm
ers have used ice, but they have not
used it properly. Some of them have
broken the ice and put it on the meat,
while others have packed the meat in
boxes or barrels anG piled ice on top
of it.
The Valdosta Times publishes meat
saving method by the use of ice which
it says will never fail, provided plenty
of salt is used with it. This remedy
is for farmers who are not able 70
have cold storage plants and who only
have crude smoke houses. The meth
cd is as follows:
Stand two blocks of ice on their
ends in the center of the smoke house
on the dirt floor. Drive piece Of
scantling or plank into the ground Oh
each side of the ice, so as to keep the
ice from topping over as it melts.
1t would be we'll to use a piece of wire
and tie around the braces in order to
keep them secure.
Then get some green pine tops and
place them around the ice to place tn
meat upon, in order to keep it off the
ground, and also to give it ventilation
from below. Then lay the pieces OF
meat as close to the ice as possible,
placing the bone parts next to the ic :.
Care should be taken to make the piles
of meat uniform. AS the ice melts il
leaves spaces between it and the meat,
thus leaving the meat dry and also
leaving space for the gases and vapors
to pass away.
The bone parts of meat are the first
to spoil, so the bone parts should DE
kept nearest to the ice. Where it is
possible, the meat ought to be piled
so that there will be some spaces be-
tween the tiers for ventilation. 1t can
be piled higher than the blocks of
ice, and then piled above the ice, so
that the two blocks of ice will keep O.
600 pounds of meat for several weeks.
If the house is kept closed and free
from outside air it will be much bet
ter
This is the simplest and best way
to use ice in saving meats Those
farmers who have used that plan say
it never fails. 1t was furnished The
Valdosta Times by farmer who docs
not bother very much about the wealth
er after killing his hogs. He knows
it is safe from the losses which warm
weather usually cause. Let the farm
ers who have been losing their meat
or who have been using ice to poor
parp' Sc try this plan
