HOW TO CURE PORK ON THE FARM

Two general methods are used for curing hams, shoulders and bacon on the farm, in brine and by the dry method. There are many recipes for each which give excellent satisfaction, says J. R. Wiley, swine specialist in the Purdue University Extension Department. A good brine cure is as follows: Dissolve eight pounds of salt, two pounds of brown sugar, and two ounces of saltpeter in four gallons of hot water for each 100 pounds of meat tobe cured. After the meat has thoroughly cooled, rub salt over each piece, sprinkle a little in the bottom of the container, and pack the meat in closely, heavy pieces in the bottom, cover and weight thd contents down, then pour in the brine until the meat is well covered. Repack five or six days later in reverse order so that the meat which was at the bottom will be at the top. Pour the same brine over it; Repack again in the original order in another five or six days. Thin sides, etc., cure in 12 to 14 days. Heavier pieces should remain in the brine about two days for each pound of weight, then drained and smoked. A Good Dry Cure. A good dry cure is four to five pounds of salt, one to two pounds of sugar, six to seven ounces of black pepper, one ounce of cayenne pepper, and two ounces of saltpeter • for each 100 pounds of meat. Mix these well and rub the pieces to be cured thoroughly with it after the animal heat is out of the meat. Let it lay for five or six days, piled on a table, clean floor or in a box or barrel that affords drainage. Make another application of the curing mixture five or six days later and a third one after a similar period. Thin sides are cured in 12 days to two weeks; heavier pieces should cure about two days for each pound of . weight. Brush off the excess cure and soak meat for half an hour in lukewarm water before smoking.

ANTHRACITE BAN IS OFF

EVANS WOOLLEN ANNOUNCES HARD COAL TRADS IS ON A COMMERCIAL BASIS. J ‘ ■ All restrictions as to dealers and. cities receiving anthracite coal were withdrawn and the distribution placed on an ordinary commercial footing Friday by Evans Woollen, federal fuel administrator for Indiana. The change was made possible, Mr. Woollen said in. a bulletin issued to all county administrators, by the mildr weather during the fall and early winter and the substitution of other fuels for anthracite by many consumers. As a result sixty-one cities of the state which were to have received the major portion of Indiana's allotment will not need their tonnage althougt smaller towns are still asking for anthracite. Under an order issued by the anthracite committee at Philadelphia operators and distributors are permitted to ship to any Indiana dealer after all orders placed in their hands been filled. However, the total tonby the anthracite committee have nage assigned to Indiana is not to exceed that originally fixed, about 384,000 tons. Mr. Woolen also received authority from the federal fuel administration to issue permits for the shipment of soft coal from the eastern states for both industrial and domestic use, but has decided to keep in effect the ruling that only Indiana coal shall be sold to householders. His step is taken to protect retail dealers who have on hand large stocks of Indiana coal stored last summer at Mr. Woollen’s request. For several weeks the office has been with requests for permits to bring in eastern coal by dealers who did not comply with the request of the fuel administration to stock up with Indiana coal. These requests have been refused in every instance orr the ground that it would be unfair to thoWfe dealers who had acted in accordance with the request of the fuel administration. From now on, the order states, the dealer must look to his source of supply for anthracite without the aid. of the sue ladministratioh. Only in necessary cases, such as in the use of anthracite for chicken brooders, will the office step in. Due to the lessening demand for anthracite? it is not thought dealers wal lexperience as much trouble as heretofore in obtaining shipments. __ . • ■ —. *~~7 V" '
