HOW TO HANDLE RUTABAGA
TURNIFS

W. Il. u. SuWdnces buss NIlltHs
have received a lot of valuable advice
from the agricultural columns. / would
like all the information you can give
me on how to take care of rutaoaga
turnips for winter use. l planted them
the 18th of July, and wish to store
them so as not to lose any.
Our plan of handling rutabaga tur-
nips has been as follows: Simply let
them stay in the field and pick them
as needed for use. We have been
using them for some time past and
they are improving in quality, naNor
and sweetness every day. RutaDaga
is essentially a cold climate crop. IL
will remain out all winter even in as
cold climates as Canada and Scotland.
1t really improves after frost falls
upon it. If one is growing this crop
commercially, of course, the pro-
cedure may be somewhat dinerent,
but even then we would gather them
from the field as needed for shipment,
as they are in finer and frcSher condl-
tion when so handled and Will keep
better. Where an attempt is made TO
harvest this crop they should DE
gathered when as nearly mature as
possible by pulling them out of the
then be cut off clean about half an
inch above the crown. The dirt
should be brushed off and the turnips
carefully placed in baskets or boxes.
preferably the latter. box Such
as apples are shipped in is satisfac-
tory. These boxes may then be placed
in outbuilding or anywhere where
they will be cool. This is very i'm
portant. Putting them in n warm
cellar or under the house i'm a hot
room will result in their shriveling
up and possibly their frequent decay,
Whenever stored provision should be
made to cover them on exceptionally
cold nights. or during a sudden freeze
or when the temperature might go
down occasionally below freezing and
remain so for several days. A good
way to preserve them in the ground
in case of a freeze of this character
is to throw a little sand over them.
Rutabagas, of course, NAV be taken
up and put in a pit, which is pre-
pared and handled very much as
bank for sweet potatoes. Most peo-
pie make the mistake of trying to
keep this crop too hot. however,
thereby causing it's decay. We prefer
to handle it for household use here
in Georgia in the manner indicated.

A GOOD Recipe for curing meats

Z. +. p, Vienna, Ca. writes: ]
would like TO know the best way OF
curing meat. I am anxious to try the

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-12-13

There is no reason why you should
not cure meat by the brine method
safely and acceptably. Before you
undertake the curing it is very nee
essary that the meat be thoroughly
cooled. If the weather is warm when
the animals are slaughtered the meat
should be chilled at once to avoid
its becoming tainted. Under such
circumstances ii may often be neces.
sary to use ice, and when this is
done it is generally best to break il
up in pieces. weighing about a pound
and pack it closely between the cuts
of meat. When the meat is thorough
ly cooled to the bone it is then ready
to place in cure.
Brine for curing should be made
as follows: First, secure receptacle
large enough to contain the meat TO
be cured. A hardwood barrel or hogs
head thoroughly cleansed with boil
ing water will do very well for this
purpose, though large earthen jars
would be more desirable. The larger
cuts should be packed at the bot
tom. For each 100 pounds of meat
use pounds of salt, pounds of
brown sugar or molasses, and
pounds of salt peter. Put these ma
teriaIs in four gallons of water that
has been thoroughly cleansed with
boiling water will do very well for
this purpose, though large earthen
