hog that is losing flesh. A reasonable
amount of fat gives juiciness and
flavor to the meat, but large amounts
of fat are not essential. The breed
ing Of animals plays an important
part in producing carcass Of high
quality. Selection, long continued
care and intelligent feeding will pro-
duce meat Of desirable quality. The
smooth, even, and deeply fleshed hogs
will yield the nicely marbled meat.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
remain unfed for at least "a hours,
or better, 80 hours. Give them all
the clean fresh water they will drink.
Farmers Should Fill Home Pork
" Barrel.
Too many farmers buy a part or
all Of their supply of meat from local
stores and hucksters. Meat, espec-
tally pork, can be grown and cured
at home for much less than the cost
of the purchased meat, to say moth
ing of a ready market for good coun-
try cured hams, shoulders, and sides.
In spite of this the custom Of farmers
purchasing cured meats is increasing.
1t may not be practicable for every
farmer to butcher and cure his own
meat, but in nearly every community
a few farmers could do this and make
good profits. Farmers who sell the
country cured meats have experienced
very little difficulty in establishing
a permanent trade. To accomplish
this one must understand the kind of
cured meats his trade demands, and
also how it is made. Country-cured
meat often carries too much fat and
undesirable odors, and it is generally
too salty. A we'll marbled, juicy,
savory piece of meat showing the pro-
per admixture of fat and lean and
possessing a good flavor is the kind
the consumer desires.
This will help to clear the system of
food and will facilitate bleeding. Do
not excite or whip hog before kill
ing. An excited hog never makes a
good carcass, and whipping causes
bruised hams, which are not fit to
cure. An injured hog may be used
for food, provided it is bled immed-
lately.
Use Barrel For Scalding Hogs.
A useful equipment for hog killing
includes: an eight inch, straight,
sticking knife, a cutting knife, a a.
inch steel, hog hook, bell-shaped
stick scraper, a gambrel, and a meat
saw. More than one of each of these
tools may be necessary if many hogs
are to be slaughtered and handled to
best advantage. A barrel is very
convenient receptacle in which to
scald hogs. The barrel should be
placed at an angle of about 45 de-
grees at the end of a table or plat
form of proper height. The table
and barrel should be securely fasten-
ed to prevent accident to the work.
men due to slipping. A block and
tackle and apparatus should be in
readiness before beginning.
In some sections for humane rea-
sons the hog is stunned or shot before
sticking. If the animal is stuck with
out being stunned, he should be held

TAKE UP STUDY OF GERMAN.
Students at G. W. U. Realize I'm.
portance of Language and History

Realizing Importance of the German
language and the German people as
basis for research work. students at
George Washington University have
taken up the study of German and Ger
man history. To such degree is this
so that the language has jumped from
twenty-second to fifteenth place in
popularity. according to figures just
made public by DR.. Charles Edward
Munroe, dean of the faculty of gradu-
ate studies.
Officials Of the university are at a
loss to put their finger on the specific
reason for the jump in the popularity
Of German.
The figures are gratifying" said one
member Of the faculty, Sin demonstrat-
ing that the movement for belittling
| the German language. literature, art
and science. as a part of war propa-
ganda. is not finding a lodging place
in the university. which should stand
for absolute freedom of thought Ger
| man militarism is to be despised. but
to condemn everything that smacks of
the German would be backward step
in civilization.
| The study of the French language
| jumped in popularity during the last
place. Members OF the faculty of ro-
! nance languages expect the study of
French to grow yearly as a result of
the interest in the war. The French
| classes this year are the largest in
| the history Of the university.
