Scientific Way
Of Curing Pork
All Guess Work Has Been
Removed From This Important
Farm Business by
Program Of Education
And Demonstrations
, ] "Take the guess work out of
, meat-curing if you want to have
a well preserved supply of pork
.[this winter and next spring.
! "The curing process has been
reduced to a science," said R. E.
t Nance, professor of animal hus
bandry at State College," and
there is no need for any farm
f to lose its meat through spoili
age."
. j After the hogs have been kill,
ed and dressed, he said, the carsjcasses
should be split down the
"' center of the backbone, the leaf
fat loosened from the lower end
J of the ribs, and the meat hung
, in a smoke house to chill over
r! night. Do not let the meat freeze,
i: The next morning, trim all
ragged edges from each cut;
wash out and thoroughly scald
I the containers in which the meat
i j is to be cured. Oak barrels or
l large stone jars make good curr
| ing vessels.
; The many methods of curing
i meat are variations of either the
i brine cure or the dry salt cure. '
; I The latter is considered more
! satisfactory in the South.
Be sure that all animal heat
) has escaped from the meat be
fore the curing process is start,
'ed. The temperature of the cur
in? room should be kept between
i . 34 and 40 degrees, if possible. I

In the dry cure, Nance recommends
for each 100 pounds of
meat a mixture of 8 pounds of
salt, three ounces of salt peter,
and three pounds of sugar, brown
preferred.
Rub half the mixture on the
meat, then pack it in the container
skin side down, but turn
the skin side up on the top lay5r.
Seven days later, repack the
neat and rub on the remainder
)f the curing mixture.
After each piece of meat has
lured three days for each pound
)f weight, wash it off and hang
t in the smokehouse. Smoke it
x> suit the taste. If the smokelouse
is not fly-proof, wrap the
meat in heavy paper and place
it in thin cloth bags.
