PAGE SIX THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HICHLANDS MACONIAN Elxplains Two Methods To Cure Pork at Home The many methods of curing pork Are mostly variations of the two principal methods: the brine cure and the dry salt cure. Common salt is the basis of all . xBeat curing, said K. E. Nance, professor of animal husbandry at State College. Sugar is sometimes added to give a better flavor and to counteract the tendency of the salt to harden the meat. Saltpeter may be used also to give the meat a natural red color, it has some preservative effect, too. In curing pork, be sure that all the animal heat has dissipated and that the meat has not frozen. Do the curing i,n a cool, well ventilated ture of 34 to 40 degrees fahren- ture of 34 to 40 degrees fahhen- heit, Nance said. In the brine cure, for each 100 pounds of. meat use 12 pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpeter, and six gallons of water. Boil the water and allow it to cool. If desired, add thrte cups of sugar to this for mula. Thoroughly mix the salt, salt peter, and sugar and rub some of the mixture into the hams, should ers, and sides. Pack all meat in the same vessel, skin side down, except the top layer should «be skin side up. Weight the meat down with clean hard wood or bricks. Dissolve the rest of the salt and other ingredients in the six gallons of water, before thq water has cooled. After the solution is cool, pour it over the meat in the ves sel until all meat is covered. Re pack the meat o,n the seventh and 21st days. When the meat is cured, wash it first in hot w’ater and then in cold water and hang it in the smokehoiife to drip for 24 hours before smoking. For the dry cure, use for each 100 pounds of meat: eight pounds of salt, three ounces of salt-peter, and three pounds of sugar (brown preferred.) Mix the ingredients thoroughly and rub half the mixture on the meat, then pack it as for the brine cure. In seven days repack the meat and rub on the other half. The meat should cure three days for each pound of weight of each piece. Then wash it and hang it in the smokehouse. Smoke the meat with hickory, oak, or corn cobs to suit the taste. If the smokehouse is fly-proof and well ventilated, meat may be left in it until used. Otherwise, it should be wrapped in heavy paper. Finds a Family THE TYPOGRAPHIC ERROR The typographic error is a slippery thing and sly; You can hunt till you are dizzy but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses it is strange how still it keeps; It shrinks down in a corner, and it never stirs or peeps. 1'hat typographic error, too small for human eyes. Till the ink is on the pai^er, when it grows to mountain size. Ihe boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans ; The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans. The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be— But that typographic error is the only thing you can see. —Knoxville Express.
