Rendering Lard With
Better Keeping Qualities

November and December are
months when most farmers do
their farm slaughtering. One
problem with processing the pork
carcass is rendering Of lard with
good keeping qualities. Most lard
rendered on farms becomes ran
cid in a short time. Following
,are u suggestions on rendering
lard and a simple way of adding
an anti-oxidant to lengthen the
storage period.
Fat should be rendered as soon
as thoroughly chilled, preferably
within "a hours. Ordinarily leaf
fat, back fat and trimmings are
rendered together, and usually
yield about IS per cent lard. Caul
and ruffle fat of internal organs
yield a darker product.
For a high yield, cut fat into
small pieces, then run through
grinder, using a 3-l6 inch plate.
Start cooking slowly with small
amount of fat; when fat begins
to melt, add the remainder. Do
not fill the kettle too full. Stir
frequently to prevent sticking.
The temperature should not ex-
coed 245 degreas Fahrenheit. AS
rendering proceeds, cracklings
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1950-12-07

will brown and float, then grad
ually sink when the job is COM
plete. Dc not let cracklings stick
to bottom and scorch.
To improve keeping quality OF
lard, add 2 to 3 pounds of hydro
genated vegetable shortening (oil)
to SO pounds of lard. To estimate
the amount of oil needed, allow 2
pounds for each hog of average
weight (250 pounds. There are
several good commercial COM
pounds available and r usually
found at meat curing plants or
farm supply stores.
A good procedure is to add the
vegetable shortening just before
the cracklings settle. Stir well
when adding. Another procedure
is to add the melted lard in stor-
age container, stir to mix thor
oughly.
Store in clean containers of 5 to
SO pounds capacity. Immediate
chilling will give the lard a finer
grain.
Air and light hasten rancidity
in stored light. Rancid lard is
unsatisfactory for food and many
OF the desirable food values have
been destroyed. Rancid lard can
not be improved.
= Fill container to top, fit the lid
on tightly and store in a dark,
cool place.

Giant Cypress Tree
Grew 500 Years
Logs Would Frame
Two 6-Room Houses
r. p. Mcmillan. ".

One hundred and forty two
years before Columbus discovered
America, a cypress ball fell into
the waters of Black Bayou and
floated to the shore. The water
receded and the ball disintegrated,
scattering its seed in the mud. The
next spring one of the seed ger
minated in the rich soil. Thus the
large cypress in the picture started
its growth.
For the next five hundred years
the tree grew rapidly and became
q giant among its neighbors. At
this time disaster struck in the
form of a high wind which broke
the top out of the tree, leaving
only a few limbs to support its
growth. 1T is probably because
of this damage and its large size
that the tree was missed by loggers
time after time. The topped tree
grew very slowly and in the next
100 years only added two inches
to its diameter.
In July, 1850, Billy Vandiver,
who was logging for j. c. Allen
Lumber CO., discovered the giant
tree while cutting on Gilbert
Booker's F. H. A. farm five miles
east of Thornton. The property at
one time had been the old Smith
estate. 1t took Vandiver's crew
two days to log the giant tree,
which was IA inches at the stump.
The tree was cut into five 12-foot
logs and each log was a truck load.
A I'D. Six tractor was used to
load the logs onto the truck bed.
When the giant logs were scaled
at the mill yard they measured
8.705 feet, which is enough to
frame two six-room houses. Gill
bert Booker received $87.05 Stun
page for the tree and it cost j. c.
Allen Lumber Co. $261.00 to log
the tree to the mill.
The logs are so large that they
will have to be blasted into quar-
tiers before they can be sawed. The
logs will be split in this manner:
holes will be bored in a straight
line every two feet along the
length of the log; a quarter stick
of dynamite will be placed in each
hole and they will be set off SIM
ultaneously. Only slight damage

Shop work now on farm ma

Make an early order list of all
broken, worm out and lost parts.
Then order by number through
the local manufacturers dealer.
Adjustments, requirements and
repainting can follow in sequence
before seed bed preparation time.
In planning this work, it is well
to keep in mind that land prepare
fion tools are used first, followed
by planters, and seeders, cultiva-
tors and harvesters.
Keep tires free from chemicals,
fertilizers, excess heat, oils and
under-inflation. On stored equip
ment, have the weight supported
by frames, jacks or stands, with
tires debated and free of the floor
or ground.
Tires filled with water should
be drained before freezing wea-
Their, or a reliable no~n-freezing
solution should be added.
Rust is a great destroyer of ma
chimes. Metals should be kept free
of rust and corrosion by keeping
dry or by covering to exclude
moisture.
If the original protective paint,
varnish or other coating is broken
Or removed by wear, replace or

ventives are oils and greases

"A tree of this huge size is very

It may truthfully be called one of
the last Of its kind, for it took 600
years for the tree to grow, and
with the increasing demand for
timber it isn't likely that a tree
will be allowed to stand for such
a long period of time in the future.

time in greatest need when the
blessed Master is denied.
7. Yet despite the countless bless
ings Christ's loving spirit continues
to heap upon man, he seems to fail
with all of his wealth and intelli-
gence to fully comprehend.
8. Nevertheless, the spirit Of the
Master continues to manifest His
boundless Grace and only the stub
born will of the sinner can refuse
loves yearning in his face.
8. But for the spirit Of Christ,
what would this old world be, with

pattern for you and me?

en- when all seemed for naught, and
His blood that saved us; for not

II. What wonderful privilege and
honor mere man conferred, that

God; for Chrsit's sake he will be

Christ's spirit for man has always
yearned and by His death made It
possible that heaven by man could
be earned.

TEACHERS UNION
URGES END OF

SEGREGATION

WASHINGTON - amp - The
American Federation of Teechers
called upon the District Board Of
Education last week to initiate leg
islation to end the segregated pub
lie school system in Washington.
In a letter signed by Paul Cooke,
president of local 81, and Don Good
loe, legislative representative, the
board was urged to ask the copora-
ton Counsel to prepare such specif-
ic legislation for submission to Con-
gresS.
The union declared that separate
school system has resulted in Gin
ferior education" for Negro child
rem from the kindergarten through
college.
It further stated that segregation
had fostered a feeling Of inferiority
in Negroes and superiority in
Whites. Segregation in the public
schools has set the pattern for seq
regation for the city and has re-
suited in "uneconomical expendi-
lures of the taxpayers money"

CHRIsTs SPIRIT

/. Jesus Christ came to earth to
represent God the Father, and to re-
veal some of the wonderful myster-
les Of heaven, and to teach men to
love each other.
2. He could not represent God in
any likeness of form, for God is
without body or parts, but He came
to reflect the spirit of His Father,
and Of living, to teach man the
higher arts.
8. Thinking, If He Himself, would
come to earth in the form OF man,
but with the riches of heaven at
His command, it would not take
mankind too long to clearly under
stand.
4. But even after making the plan
of salvation so very simple, and CIV
ing man a complete example, man
is drifting only toward a form of
worship and allowing Gods higher
principles to warp and slip.
5. When it comes to fine cathed-
rails and ecclesiastical adornment.
the crowds quickly gather with an
appearance of refinement; but when
the spirit of righteousness is to be
practiced and endured, the same
crowds by Satan are easily lured.
6. Yes, how very true it is that,

emulated, the friendless befriended
