VIRGINIA METHOD OF CUTTING
PORK Is RECOMMENDED.

Pork must be thoroughly cooled to
insure good keeping qualities when
cured. Prof. P. F. Trowbridge, Of the
agricultural chemistry department
recommends the dry curing of pork
10 preference to brine curing, says the
University Missourian. The "Vir-
ginia cure" commonly known as
sugar curing" will make the pork
more palatable and OF better flavor
than brine cure. The Virginia cure"
is as follows: For every 1000 pounds
OF dressed meat. mix 40 pounds Of
salt, 10 pounds Of sugar, four pounds
of pepper, half pound Of red pepper
and three pounds Of saltpeter.
This mixture should be rubbed over
the meat. taking great care to cover
all the cut surfaces and especially the
shank end. Pack the pieces OF meat
in box or barrel as closely as pos.
sible. After two or three weeks the
meat will be cured enough to smoke.
