By ROY III. GROUSE

AS AShe County farmers are
now beginning to kill hogs for
home use, many could profit by
following a few simple rules given
below. Too little care is often
given to the chilling, curing and
storing pork to obtain sound pal
atable hams and bacon.
/, CHILL FRESH CARCASSES
PROMPTLY. Split warm carcass
es. Pull out leaf fat Hang sides so
they do not touch and leave them
until they chill to temperatures
below 40 F., but protect from
freezing. You can do a much bet
ter job cutting up carcass if you
chill it first.
2. WEIGH MEAT AND CUR
ING INGREDIENTS CAREFUL
LY. Too little salt may cause
spoilage; too much salt makes
hard, dry, over-salty meat. Never
add salt until meat has been chill
ed to below 40 F.
3. KEEP MEAT COLD WHILE
IN CURE. Hold curing meat at a
temperature near So to 40 F. High
temperatures increase the chance
of spoilage. Lower ones slow down
salt penetration.
a. FIGURE CURING TIME
CAREFULLY. Too few days in
cure may cause spoilage. Too long
a cure in heavy salt results in
loss of quality. i9. <e FEB. a..
FORMULA FOR DRY CURE
For each 100 pounds of trimmed
meat: salts pounds, sugar "a
pounds (brown, white or syrup
- wartime recommendation for
sugar, l to ~ pounds; saltpeter
2 ounces.
Mix curing ingredients thor
oughly, being especially careful to
mix the finely powdered saltpeter
through the salt. Next, divide the
curing mixture into two about
equal portions, one portion to use
at once, the other to save for re-
sailing.
Rub one portion of curing mix
ture on all surfaces of meat, polk
ing some into shank ends. Pat
about 1-8 inch layer on lean
face of hams. Pat a thin covering
on shoulder. Only frost the thin
bacon strip with the mixture. The

Lusty Wind to Carolina
By Inglts Fletcher. (Bobbs
Merrill. S3.)

By IngltS Fletcher. (B0bbS
Merrill. $3.)
This Is long, leisurely, historic
novel, with the history at times
rather overwhelming the plot. But,
for readers who like that kind OF
work-and there are many of
them-it is excellent in its tradi-
ton. 1t deals with the settling in
North Carolina of group of Hugue-
nots in the period following the
Peace of Utrecht. 1t gives us ro-
nance between a beautiful high
born lady and proud Scotsman
sold into bondage by political en-
emies, assaults on the colony by
such famous pirates as Stede Bon
net, Blackboard and the notorious
Anne Bonney, and the manipula-
tions of the colonists' lives by lords
and ofnclals in distant London. The
scope takes in not just the Carolina
shore; there are also scenes in the
Bahamas, where the governor is
sworn to wipe out the pirate menace
It is, as said. drawn from history
and it deals with historical charac-
ters on both sides of the ocean as
much as is possible. With so many
facts to deal with, 1t is no wonder
that the author sometimes loses her
