Butchering Notes, Butcher hogs at home. Give them water but no feed for a day before killing. Bleed the hog with an eight inch straight-bladed knife. Be sure bleeding is done bo fore scalding or the skin may be left too red. A heavy blow with an ax be tween the eyes will stun the animal before sticking. The meat may spoil if the ani mal is excited before killing, or if tin.' weather is warm after wards. Scrape as quickly and rapidly as possible after scalding. The cold carcass is hard to scrape weli. Bleeding will be finished more quickly if the animal lies on a steep slope with its head down hill. Keep the hog moving in the barrel. If the animal is left pressed against the barrel the hot water cannot get at that part of the carcass. Scraping is easier if a shovel ful of hardwood ashes, a lump of lime, some concentrated lye, or a handful of soft soap has been added to the water. L'?e a thermometer. Do not at tempt to scald with the water at above 1">0 degrees. A good scald can be obtained at 1U) degrees, but it takes longer. In opening the carcass, split tne pelvic bone between the hams with a knife -by cutting exactly in the center. To open the breastbone with a knife cut a little to one side of the center, but do not let the point of the knife get behind a rib.—Missouri College of Agriculture.
