HOW TO SAVE MEAT
The "up and down" action
of the weather to far this year
has probably caused many
farmers to lose part or all the
meat they may hare killed.
Many fanners who have had
this trouble before say there is
no need for this- loss. sW'*?* a
little extra work and very lit
tle additional expense will pre
vent, meat being spoiled by a
sudden upward swing of the
temperature. The remedy sug
gested vby several who have
had success so far is: Take a
steel drum, fill it with ice.
throw a few handfuls of salt
on the Ice. bank the fresh-killed
meal around the drum and
cover with a tarpaulin. Of
course the very best method
if possible is to get the meat
in the nearest freeser locker
plant, but if the locker plant
happen? to-be swamped, give
this method a trial. It is cer
tainly better than doing noth
ing and having to dig a hole
and bury several hundred
pounds of spoiled meat.
