IN CHOWAN COUNTY,
By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent '
Results Os Spoiled Meat Sur
vey: There were several fac
tors contributing to the spoil
age of cured home meat sup
plies this year, according to Dr.
John A. Christian, Meats Spe
cialist of the N. C. Agricultural
Extension Service. Most of
these factors could have been
controlled had the owner been
aware and known how.
Failure to completely get the
animal heat out of hams and
shoulders before salting down
was perhaps the main cause of
spoilage. These cuts should be
laid out separately and allowed
to chill at a temperature of not
ever 40 degrees for at least 18
hours. A little salt might be
sprinkled over each piece at the
time.
Meat that is frozen will not
take salt until it thaws. If meat
freezes, it should remain in cure
the regular period plus the num
ber of days it was frozen.
Another factor was submitting
meat to higher temperatures
immediately after cure. For ex
ample, a lot of meat may need
six weeks or 42 days in cure.
At the end of the cure it takes
another 30 days for the salt to
penetrate the entire cut and
equalize. Suppose that within
two or three days after coming
out of cure the meat is smoked
at a temperature above 50 de
grees, may even be as high as 1
80 degrees, bacteria in* the un
salted area around the bone or
between the bone and skin side
begin to work, causing a souring
condition. When salt penetrates
this area it stops the action of
the bacteria, but damage has al
ready been done and will re
main. •
Improper bleeding of the ani
mal at killing time can result
in blood pocketing around the
bone resulting in poor curing
and off-flavor in the bone area.
Skippers and other insects
may attack meat as the weath
er begins to get warmer. We
found that the local curing
plants regularly spray their cur
ing rooms and smoking roams
but if the meat is taken heme
and hung in % smokehouse wm h
has not been thoroughly clean
ed and sprayed against ins cri.

the meat can become infested in
a very few days. When insects
damage meat, spoilage starts and
off-flavor or ruin results.
By applying the following
suggestions a family should be
able to cure good meat that
will keep: (1) Use thrifty, meat
type hogs; (2) Plan farrowing
and feeding so that hogs will
weigh 210 to 240 pounds ready
for butchering December 15 to
i January 31, preferably by Jan
uary 15; (3) Kill hogs when
temperature is below 40 degrees
or use curing plant facilities;
(4) Be sure hogs bleed out well;
(5) Allow carcasses to hang
overnight and cut out next day;
(6) When meat is cut out, lay
hams and shoulders out sepa
rately with a little salt sprinkled
over the flesh side, for 18 to 24
hours: (7) Apply eight pounds
of salt per 100 pounds of meat.
If salt appears to harden on sur
face, immediately tear up and
repack with cure; (8) Thorough
ly clean and disinfect smoke
house before using for new
meat.
(9) Follow a curing schedule: j
hams and shoulders weighing 1
15 pounds should stay in cure!
30 days; 20 pounds, 35 days; 25
pounds, 40 days; larger, 1% days
, per pound of weight. Sides
1 should remain in cure only 10
Ito 15 days, depending on the
size.
(10) When meat comes out of
cure, brush or wash off excess
i salt and keep it at a tempera
ture of below 45 degrees for
the next 20 to 30 days. (11)
Smoke for desired appearance
but don’t heat the meat during
the smoking process. (12) As
soon as meat is smoked, wrap
; each piece in kraft paper, place
in a clean bag and hang for
aging.
Sides and shoulders should be
used first before they become
strong-flavored. Hams should
j age for at least six months,
j Open and examine a few pieces
j each month for insect damage,
j Extension Circular No. 405 en
-1 itled “Curing Hams Country
j Style,’’ outlines a good proced-
I ure. Copies are available at our
I office for your use.
