BEST FARM MEAT CURED AT HOME Raleigh, Oct. 18.—The practice of curing a supply of meat for home use is more generally followed on the farms of the south than in any other section of the country, yet there are more different methods used in curing and handling the cured product than is best for the in dustry. For that reason the North Caro- j lina Experiment Station has under- J taken a study of the whole meat cur-! ing question. These studies have been summarized and published in bulletin No. 249 of the experiment station series written by Earl H. Hostetler and L. H. McKay, of the office of swine investigations. This bulletin is now available on re quest. The authors of the bulletin give the results of work done since 1916 when the tests were first started at the Coastal Plain Station near Willard, in Pender county. They dis cuss the factors affecting the shrink age of meat in cure, show the kind of curing agents used and give some hints as to the best methods of cur ing and handling the meat as brought out by the various tests. "In eight different trials, 86 hogs were used and a total of 516 pieces of meai were cured," Says Prof. Hostetler. "We used both the dry cure and brine cure and also tested out the liquid smoke as* compared j with smoke from hickory wood. As j a result of our tests, we do not feel that there is one best method of curing meat. Some like the dry cure best, while others like the wet cure. Some use only salt as the curing agent, while others use sugar and saltpeter as well. Any of these will give a first class product if care is taken in the process." Prof. Hostetler states that those who will kill as early in the season as there is good killing weather, who will cool the meat thoroughly be fore packing away, who will watch the weather while the meat is curing THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, OCT. 28, 1926 TO DEDICATE NEW SCHOOL AT HOLLIS NOVEMBER SIXTH Hon.
