making sausage;
A popular North Carolina recipe
for sausage, based on 50 pounds of
pork, is 1 pound of salt 2 1-2
ounces of finely gpround black nep-

oeople prefer about three-fourths
lean meat and one-fourth fat.
Another favorite recipe, reports
State College, is 1 pound of salt,
1 1-2 ounces of ground sage, 1 1-2
ounces of black pepper and 1 1-2
ounces of red pepper. This, too, is
for 50 poiinds of meat.
