or excess mold accumulation. Do
not smoke meats for about 80 days
after it comes out of cure to allow
for salt equalization.
When bagging hams, allow fol-
air circulation for proper ageing.
Recommendations on bagging hams
will be found in Extension Circular
405 on Curing Hams Country
Style.
1t is also advisable to process
the meat supply over long per-
iod of time. When a person has 6
or 8 hogs to kill, they should be
part killed in October, part in De-
cember and part in January or
early February as to allow for
fresh meat over long period of
time instead of having an excess
of meat at one time. 1t is also rec
commended that hogs not weigh
over $50 pounds liveweight and
that beef produced for family use
should weigh at least 900 pounds
to be of quality meats.

ADVICE ON CURING OF
MEATS AT HOME GIVEN

During December and January a
year ago, there. was considerable
meat lost in the State due to sour
ing. There are several reasons for
meat souring, but the one general
ly causing trouble is high tempera-
ture during the slaughtering, proc
essing and curing of this meat.
Ideal temperature for curing meat
is around 4O0F. In the event that
the average temperature goes
much above 45' meat is in danger
of souring. Also, long rainy per-
iods, giving tie air high humidity,
are also somewhat responsible for
meat spelling. In the event that
the weather is not suitable, have
carcasses chilled and cured at
processing plants to avoid meat
spoilage. 1t is also necessary to
have the body heat from the car
cass taken from the carcass as
soon as possible after killing. In
the event that the animals are GO
ing to be slaughtered at home and
take to processing plant, they
should be delivered Immediately
after killing.
If the carcasses are going to be
processed at home, they should be
killed late in the afternoon when
temperatures are going down and
slaughtered when the weather man
says there will be light frost
tonight and let the carcasses hang
over night and chill thoroughly be-
fore cutting and processing.
Another objection to some farm
cured meats is that it is too salty.
If the following curing schedule is
followed meat should have about
the right content. Hams weighing
Is pounds, 2 days per pound or 80
days. Hams weighing 20 pounds 1
3/4 days per pound or 35 days;
and hams IS pounds, III days per
pound or approximately 40 days.
All sides and shoulders should be
cured z days per inch of thickness.
To insure high quality cured
meat, all meat should be taken out
of cure when the time is up and
all meat should be suspended and
not let lay on the shelf as this
will cause skin souring and rapid

LOW CALORIE APPLES
PROVIDE TASTE TREATS

The apple season brings to the
minds of school youngsters the old
adage, can apple for the teacher"
But why not have apples for
everyone?
Mrs. Rachel Ferguson, Agricul-
tural Extension Service nutrition
list, comments, Because this is the
apple season, let's take advantage
of it and make meals and between
meal snacks both nutritious and
delicious with apples"
Apples take their place along
with other fruits, because of their
food value, color, and versatility,
Mrs. Ferguson points out that
they can be served at breakfast,
lunch or dinner in the form of hot
OF cold apple juice, fried apples,
baked apples, stewed apples, hot
or cold apple sauce.
Then you shouldn't forget apple
jelly, apple pie, apple dumplings,
and many other delicious dishes
which can be made from apples.
Using apples in other ways, such
as in fruit, vegetable or meat
salads, can add flavor as well as
food value. And it would be a
real taste treat your family would
rave about.
"A mellow, tasty, raw apple,
continues Mrs. Ferguson, soon
tributes some of all the nutrients,
yet it's low in calories, making it
extra special to calorie counters"
For health's sake, serve your
family apples-in a variety of
ways-instead of sweets. If you
must have something sweet, make
sure there's something else in the
food that provides other food
values rather than sugar alone.
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1957-11-29

of twenty shillings, one-half of
which will go to the church war
dens and vestries for their use of
the parish, and the other half to
him or to them that shall make
information against such tavern
keepers so offending, the sum to
be recovered by a warrant from
the Chief Justice or any other JUS
tice of the Peace residing in the
precinct where such offense is COM
mitted upon proof of one credible
witness"
Tavern-keepers couldn't collect
any debts due for strong drink ex-
ceeding the sum of 20 shilings
under the provisions of this old act
unless they produced a note in the
customers own handwriting that
such was due. If the tippler could
MT read or write he was to make
his mark with the name of one
witness signed thereafter "as evil
dence that the person signing was
not drunk"
Under the terms of the 1923 act
to encourage the settlement of a
suitable town on Roanoke Island
lots were to be sold for 40 shill-
ings each, payable to William
Reed, Richard Sanderson or John
Lovick, who We're then owners of
the land, ten shillings of which
would be applied toward erecting
a fertilization in the new town.
When the Town of Carteret on
Roanoke Island had grown to 10
families they could choose an in
spector who would have the au-
thority to remove any and all nuis-
ances from the town limits and to
see that nobody enclosed their lots
with a common stake fence but
that every lot be enclosed with
posts and rails.

more desirable problem of a sizeable
increase in your 1858 income, re-
verse this procedure - delay ex-
penses and speed.up income il you
can.
Timing income and deductions to
gain tax advantage is not too
difficult for the millions OF tax
payers who file returns on the basis
Of cash receipts and cash disburse-
ments. Cash basis" business and
professional men can shift income
by simply delaying or speeding-up
the collection of accounts receivable
near the end of the year Statesmen
and contractors can do the same
thing by extending or closing deals
that may be pending in November
or December.
Farmers who operate on a cash
basis can accelerate or postpone in
come by proper timing Of the sales
of their crops or livestock. While
their income will be taxable in the
year cash is received, the full costs
of raising crops or cattle are de-
ductible for the year in which the
costs were paid.
Special Income Situations
There are special situations in
which it can be advantageous to
bunch income in a single tax year.
For example, a husband and wife
can file a joint return to gain the
benefits of income-splitting. Should
one Of them die. the survivor may
file a joint return for the year in
which the spouse died and also for
two succeeding years under certain
conditions. Thus, widow or
widower may profit by throwing
more income into this year and less
into next if his or her spouse died
in 1855, since the privilege of filing
a joint return will be lost in all
cases in 1858.
If you are planning to be married
in 1858, remember that the income
splitting privileges you gain will
act like rate cut for you. At
$1,000 of income, your taxes will be
$240 less than If you were single,
assuming that you take the stand
ard deduction and claim only ex.
emptioils for you and your wife.
For this reason, young couples plan
ming marriage might consider post.
poning income from 1857 to 1858,
while accelerating deductions from
1858 to 1857.
