WHEN AND HOW TO KILL HOGS TO
ADVANTAGE

ADVANTAGE.
h. G.. b.. Sylvester. Ca. writes: In kill

let the meat hang until morning and then
cut up and treat suggested by you, or
when the weather is clear and open kill the
hogs in the afternoon. pack 10 ice over night
and then treat as you say? Which Is bet
teri II ice is used should the meat be
packed around the ice. or vice versa
II is very important that the carcass
be thoroughly chilled as soon as prac-
ticable after the animal has been kill
ed. Leaving The animal heat in the body
has caused the loss of a great deal
of meat. The plan you suggest of kill
ing when there is evidence of q cold
night following is good practice. II
for any reason the weather should not
prove as cold as you anticipated then
you should resort to an abundance OF
ice. The carcass will of course cut up
to much better advantage after ii has
been thoroughly chilled Therefore,
would suggest that you pack IL in ice
using a plentiful supply of IL IL the
weather does not turn sufficiently cool
and remain so to insure the thorough
chilling of the meat. Breaking the ice
up to a reasonable degree of fineness
is an important matter as IL will pack
in and about the carcass more effective
IL. Either one Of the methods indicated
should therefore be followed to insure
the thorough and complete chilling OF
the meat.

TO PORK RAISERS.

IL has been good news to hear that
south Georgia is doing wonders in rails
ing hogs. 1t will help to get the pork
on the very scarce market. I have been
trying for weeks to recure just a few
pounds of country raised bacon to boil
with summer vegetables and have fail
ed The white shipped meat from the
north and west seems to have all the
juice pressed out of 1T. ] am copying
here some receipts for dry curing and
picked pork If there is inquiry for a
recipe TO make the pickle l think ] can
compound a good one in my scrap book.
The meat question is a very great one.
considering the demand and supply
Dry-salt curing-After the pieces are
trimmed they should he spread out on
"a floor, without touching each other, to
thoroughly cool. Use no salt or pickle
until all animal heat has disappeared.
Shoulders and sides are usually cured
In dry salt. After cooling, rub the
pieces we'll with salt. and place three
or four high on a floor or shelf where
the air can circulate freely. at the end
Of five days take up the meats, roll in
new salt rub In as much salt as pos
sble: the pieces should then be put
back again as at first sailing. The salt
should cover the meats we'll, but not
heavily. At the end of twenty days re-
peat the operation, applying as much
salt as the meats will take and allow
the salt to cover each piece to the depth
of one-fourth of an inch. In sixty days
from time of first sailing the meats
will be cured ready to smoke If sugar
cured shoulder are wished, cure precise
ly the same as sugar-cured hams.
Picked Pork-Pickled pork (mess or
clear pork is made by sprinkling
rock salt at the bottom of the barrel,
and packing the pieces closely, placing
them on edge, sprinkling salt between
the layers using thirty pounds of salt
to one hundred and ninety pounds of
meat. A brine of full strength should
be made and the barrel filed. See that
the barrel is kept full of pickle. or. If
the vessel is an open one, that the
pickle covers the meats. If the pickle
should begin to ferment at any time,
more rock salt should be added. When
any meats cured in this manner are to
DE smoked, put them in vessel of cold
water to soak for six or ten hours to
remove the surplus salt; then wash in
rain water. rubbing well with scrub
brush or cloth, then hang for twenty
four hours before supplying the smoke.
Sweet-pickled meats should not be
soaked in water before smoking. but
should be washed in rain water the
same as in dry salt cured meats.

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-08-14

Ii Is not remarkable that unusual
fermentation should occur in milk at
this season OF the year. Trouble of
this character = generally due to the
invasion of the milk by an undesirable
form of bacteria
The best thing to do under the cir
cumstances is to scald all the utensils
used in milking and churning. This
work can not be done too thoroughly
or carefully. Persistence is the price
Of success under such circumstances.
Sunings the utensils for several hours
day is also very important matter.
The hands of the milker should be care
fully washed and the udder cleaned
with a good brush and then wiped off
before the milking is done. The cloth
ing of the mixer should be clean.
We believe If you will give atten-
ton and consideration to these matters
that you will find an Improvement in
the condition of the milk. There is no
disinfectant or other material you can
use to cure the trouble which is due
to bacterial infection as we have al
ready indicated.

''Boning a Bat
to Get Base Hits

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-supersti-
tons OF baseball players have given
many a laugh to Charlie O'Leary.
who, for nine years was a star
infelder with the Detroit club Of
The American league. But it remain
ed for the practice of baseball &c

years of service on the diamond be-

chair and started.
Never heard of a guy 'boning a

bone a bat until it glistens. Some
times they'll take their faVOrite

bone it for a couple of hours. And

three hits in the game the next day,
the devil himself couldn't ret the
bone away from them. 1t would be
a lucky bone then and they'd rub
it all the harder"
"Boning the bat" in the minds of
the superstitious ones. fills up the
pores OF the wood, prevents IL from
splintering and makes the bat ring
when it connects with the ball
producing longer drives.
Getting hits is the sole ambition
OF every ball player" OJ,eary said,

that 'boning' their bats will get

There was no football practice at

SITUATION, TO SAY
LEAST, PECULIAR

D. Levy, residing at 113 North
Baylen street, has sent a communica-
ton to the city commissioners asking
permit to build an addition to his
home. The application was first filed
with the building inspector, but that
official turned it down, and it was
suggested that Mr.. Levy take the
matter up with the commissioners. He
did so, and the board made inquiry
as to the reason for the building in
spector turning it down.
Thence developed a rather peculiar
situation.
Mr.. Levy's home Is halfway in and
halfway out, of fire district No. 2.
The fire limit takes a line directly
through his home. The half of the
house where the addition will be built,
is the side not included in the fire
limit, the other side of the house is
inside the limits. This is what made
the building inspector balk at the
permit sought.
IF the addition, which win be a
sleeping porch, is built on the side of
the house planned, it will not be in
the fire limits, and will not violate the
law. The building, however, or one
half of it, is in the fire limits
The commissioners voted the per
nit.

YOUNG BOY WINS
SUCCESS.

Pensacola friends of Gus Edelstein,
of Brooklyn, New York, will be much
interested in the following notice
from a Brooklyn exchange:
"'Gus' Edelstein is one of the best
cartoonists that the Commercial High
Ledger has ever had on its staff. 1t
is said that Gus is one of the best
high school publication cartoonists in
Brooklyn today. With due respect to
the editorial ability of the editor and
me literary ability of the contributors,
it is fact that the majority of the
students, when they receive their copy
of the Ledger, Immediately turn to
'Gus's' cartoons. They are bright, wit
ty and we'll drawn, and deserve the
interest that the boys take in them.
Some day, Gus we hope to see you
in the same boat of fame as our dis
tinguished Bud Fisher. Keep up
your fine work"
Gus was also honored by receiving
honorable mention from the Fox
studios for recent sketch of Annette

There is a great deal of interest in
Pensacola in the League for Woman's
Service, which is establishing branches
in every state in the union. In many
states these leagues, which are rapid
" forming both north and south, are
carried on in connection with Red
Cross work. In other communities
they are an entirely separate organi-
cation.
The original plans of the League
for Woman's Service contemplated
eleven divisions, but before the in
auguration of those plans the break
with Germany came and they were
modified to meet a possible national
crisis. An emergency program was
worked out to meet the immediate
needs of the country in relation to
woman's opportunity for greater ser
vice. The four division of the emer-
gency program include social and well
fare, commissariant, motor driving,
general service.
Every state in the union now has a
League for Woman's Service, and the
women of the country are rapidly reg
istering for the activity in which they
can be of greatest service by expert
ence and inclination if the need should
come. Some are forming motor de-
tachments, others are learning more
about buying food and cooking it, 9th
ers are studying the management of
canteens which in common language
is nothing more than a lunch stand
while others are still preparing to
make life pleasanter for the soldiers

SAN CARLOS JOINS IN
PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION.

A very bright and inspiring note
of patriotism was struck in the dec
orations of the main cafe of the San
Carlos on Monday evening, when the
guests gathered for dinner, the Stars
and Stripes having been used on all
the tables, the columns and walls hav-
ing been draped with the national
colors, and each guest presented with
miniature flag, which was after
wards used in the procession of more
than one hundred which marched from
the San Carlos to the tabernacle on
West Gregory street where the great
meeting was held, in which Pensacol-
ians demonstrated their patriotism
and their loyalty to President Wilson.
When the hotel management decid-
ed to hold patriotic demonstration
and to cooperate in the great meet
ing at the tabernacle it was hardly
realized with what enthusiasm the
idea would be received. The guests
In the hotel, of which there are nearly
two hundred, responded with the
greatest ardor, and the colors of the
country and most inspiring and
unique in the way of such a gathering.
In addition to the San Carlos or

not conceive this to be part of wo-

Any already existing organization
