GOVERNMENT URGES
DRY CURE FOR
MISSISSIPPI HEAT

G. A. Anthony, assistant in animal
husbandry of the bureau Of animal in
dustry, is now in cooperation with
the animal husbandry force of the ex-
tension department giving over the
state series of demonstrations and
lectures on the best method of curing
meat.
This problem, according to Livestock
Leader Goodell, is big one on the
average Mississippi plantation, and
Mr.. Anthony's tour has met with an
interested response.
For our climate, Mr.. Anthony rec
ommends strongly the dry cure In
preference to the brine method. The
dry cure method involves slightly more
work but it has great advantage which
more than compensate for the addi-
tional labor. In the brine method as
employed by northern packers the
meat is kept in brine four days to the
pound of the heaviest single piece,
usually 100 days, at a temperature OF
36, condition manifestly impossible
for the average Mississippi farm. The
dry cure, moreover, offers the largest
protection against rats and vermin
if correctly done guarantees the long
est life to the meat.
Mr.. Anthony's recipe for curing by
this method as stated on the basis Of
curing 100 pounds Of meat is as fol-
lows: Mix thoroughly 8 pounds salt,
2 ounces saltpeter, 2 ounces pepper,
and 2 ounces red pepper. Then add
2 IL to pounds of warm syrup or
molasscs and mix with the above
named materials until the mixture as
sumes the appearance of sawdust. APP
ply liberal coating of this mixture
to all surfaces Of the meat, excepting
the skin.
The meat should then be placed on
table, clean floor, or in hard wood
barrel, after the surface of the table,
or the bottom of the barrel has been
sprinkled with salt.
The meat should be left in cure un-
til the heaviest piece has been in for
period of l LIZ days to the pound;
thus If the heaviest ham weighs 20
pounds, the meat should be in 30 days
and two additional days for good
measure will prove beneficial.
Dry cured meats should not be
washed after curing but should be
hung in smoke-hcuse after removal
from cure.
Smoking should be done with hard
wood, preferably hickory, and the
temperature of any position of the
smoke-house should not exceed 100 de-
grees. The meat should be served
feet from the fire and smoked until
the desired color is obtained. In a
tight smoke house, the time may be 2
or 3 days; in a larger and cooler
room, the smoking process may be car
ried on for several weeks.
After the smoking, the meat should
be removed to dark room, screened
to keep out flies, and we'll ventilated
to keep out mold. Do not wrap the
meat as wrapping prevents ventila-
ton and results in the formation of
| mold

A WARNING

Breathes there man with soul SO
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
my trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch ad."
If such there be, go mark him well,
For him no bank account shall swell;
No angel watch the golden stair,
To welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies, go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep;
Wherein no clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well;
And that the world may know his loss
Place on his grave wreath of moss
And on stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"
