HOG KILLING TIME IS WITH USl

seven pounds of clean salt and two pounds of white or brown sugar with two gallons of water. If saltpeter IS desired. add one-fourth pound. This gives about enough to cover 100 pounds of pork when we'll packed. Sprinkle little clean fine salt in the bottom of the barrel, rub each piece Of meat lightly with the salt, springle a light layer of salt between each layer of meat Put On board and weight down With a rock Allow to stand over night. Tip barrel on side and allow the liquor to run cut. Cover the meat with cold brine and allow to stand in cool place four or five days. Overhaul repack and cover about week. Give the meat the same length of time for curing as with the dry cure.
 When the curing is complete, wash off the excess cure and hank in the smokehouse. Meat kept in the cure too long should be soaked in warm water to remove the excess of the cure. Smoke with hickory, oak, apple or any non- resinous wood. Avoid all wood of the pine family. With a continuous smudge the smoking can be completed in A hours With intermittent smoking longer time is necessary as cold meat takes the smoke slowly. Wrap the meat to keep it away from the slippers If rats or mice get at the meat they open way for the shippers. In damp weather cured meats will mold. This is not injurious except 1t is advisable to use up shoulders as the mold grows in the cracks and calls for excessive trim~ ming

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-20

Hog killing time is here. It is espe- cially important this year that each family cure an abundant supply of meat P. r. Trowbridge of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture offers two methods of curing pork:
 Dry cure: Do not cut up the pork until the carcass is well chilled. Make a mix ture of clean, fine salt 40 pounds, white or brown sugar 10 pounds, white or black pepper pounds, red pepper one half pound. This will make enough cure for about 1000 ounds of pork. If saltpeter is desired, use two pounds in the above mixture It will give red color to the lean meat but has ten- dency to harden the meat. too much Chili saItpeter may be used instead of the regular saltpeter by taking about 20 per cent less
 with the cure Take special care to work the cure around the ends of bone of hams and shoulders. Pack skin down on table or 'p box in a cool, airy place. Do not place in direct sunlight or in a damp, musty cellar. After four or five days, overhaul the meat, rub thoroughly with the cure and repack; repeat this in about a week. Hams and shoulders should remain in the cure from 1h days to two days per pound weight of piece; the latter time is safer for meat that is to be kept during the summer. Ba- con should be in the cure shorter time. Ten days will give very nice mild cure to a six or eight pound piece.
 Brine cure: Make a brine by boiling

Test Cotton Seed

Frost damage in northern sections Of Georgia and Alabama and in Tennessee and Virginia may have rendered much of the cotton seed produced there this year unfit for planting, according to a statement issued by the United states department of agriculture today, in which growers are urged toS eXerclse care in providing for next years seed supply Where frost was known to have injured part of the crop safe plan would have been to save only seed from bolls that fully matured before they froze, the statement says. IT there is now any doubt about the ex- tent of the damage, it is urged that germination tests be made. If the tests show poor germination either the seed should be replaced with seed having a higher percentage of germination or the rate of planting next spring should be increased to make up the Efficiency. It is important, the specialists say, that this deficiency be determined now in order that more seed can be reserved if necessary. In order that farmers may be prepared for emergencies the department is urging that twice the amount of seed required for a single planting be saved now.
 Farmers who now have surplus quantities of good planting seed would be- rendering patriotic service in their communities, the statement adds, by getting this surplus into the hands of other farmers instead of selling it to the oil mills. Also, growers needing better seed should make an effort now to locate farmers with surpluses of good stock The seed stocks committee in each state is medium through which farmers who have seed for sale and farmers who want to buy seed can get together. The department special ists also urge farmers who have only limited quantities of pure seed to make every effort to preserve the supplies and to get maximum increases in seed next year, using special care in storing, planting and cultivating.
