KILLING AND DRESS-
1NG OF PORKERS
(Dr. A. Q. G. Richardson)
Hops arc best secured for butchering
i,v placing a chain or rope about their
iiind legs and hoisting them with a
Mock and tackle so that they will hang
with their backs against a building,
i„ist or tree, and at a convenient dis
lanee above the ground for sticking.
They are also easily handled by being
thrown on their backs on the ground,
and held in this position by straddling
the hog just back of its shoulders and
firmly grasping the front feet.
( r nless the hog is too large or too
vicious to be so handled, it should be
killed by sticking and bleeding, with¬
out knocking and shooting. Too hard a
blow on the head, or shooting, kills the
hog before it has completely hied out.
The meat from an incompletely bled
animal neither look's as well nor keeps
a!j well as that from an animal that
has been completely bled out. This, too,
is a reason for hanging a hog up before
sticking, since in that position it will
bleed more completely than when lying
on the ground.
Kor sticking, a rather narrow, sharp
pointed knife about six inches long is
desirable. Grasp the lower jaw of the
hog firmly with the left hand, and with
the right place the point of the knife
three or four inches in front of the
breast bone and on the middle line of
the neck. Hold the knife at an angle of
about forty-five degrees with the point
directed toward the tail of the hog, and
thrust in to cut the large blood vessels
at the point where they leave the* chest.
Do not thrust the point of the blade
into the chest cavity, or the animal will
bleed internally, or the lungs and heart
will be injured. Do not make the thrust
to either side of the middle line of the
nock, as that is likely to result in
“shoulder sticking" and the spoiling of
considerable of the shoulder meat.
Scalding
This can he done in a large barrel or
a watering trough or tank. The temper¬
ature of thv water should be from 135
to 175 degrees. If much hotter or cooler
than that, scraping will be accomplish
ed only with a great deal of difficulty.
It heated in a vessel other than that in
which the hog is to he scalded, the wa¬
ter should he brought to a boil. By the
time it has been transferred to the
scalding tub it will he about the right
temperature for scalding the hog. It R
well to add to each thirty gallons of the
scalding water a small handful of soft
soap of a teaspoonful of strong lye o,
a small shovel of hardwood ashes, since
any of these will aid materially in
cleansing the skin. With the hog hook
inserted through the mouth into the
lower jaw, the hog is placed in tht
scalding tub and kept in motion.
Do not allow the carcass to rest long
against the side or bottom of the tub,
or the hair on those portion will set
and cannot be easily removed. Keep
testing the progress of the scalding by
attempting to pull the hair from vari¬
ous parts of the carcass, and when it
can easily be pulled out, transfer the
carcass to a stout table or bench about
30 inches high. Remove the hair from
all accessible parts of the carcass with
the candle stick scraper. Finish by
shaving the parts hard to get at with
a sharp knife, and thoroughly cleanse
the skin with water.
The carcass is now ready to be hung
U)l by means of the gambrel stick, the
pointed ends of which are inserted be
nenth the tendons or leaders at the
hack of the hind legs, between the feet
and the hock. These leaders are found
h> cutting lengthwise through the skin
of the region, a little to each side of the
middle line of the leg. After the carcass
is hung up, rinse again with warm wa

o'lge of a knife.

“1 only wish l could tell to ever,'
girl who is not a Club member hov
much help Club work has been to me
It teaches me so many things that i
never knew about," say so many of tht
Club Girls when asked about the work.
Club work often stimulates in gins
an ambition to secure a broader educa¬
tion in order to do a thing worth while
and to seek a fuller knowledge of the
work they are interested in.
Often a girl finds her first opportu¬
nity through club work. At first she
learns to can mostly for home use and
do small sewing. Then with money
earned the first and second years sh 1
continues home canning, perhaps pur¬
chases a canner and begins canning for
the neighbors. Her work in sewing s
continued, and she does this with sin :i
skill that she makes her friends then'
dresses. As she makes her small
amount of money, her outlook on lit ■
grows larger, and then is when she fi¬
ghts to plan ways and means to secure
an education.
in working with these Club gilds,
the one great advantage is that with'
ever you do is only a beginning—and
from that they get the inspiration i t
go forward to, greater things—a broade
education. If this be not true in till cas¬
es, there are nu miter less ways in which
the Chili work of the girls is doing
much toward the building up, improv¬
ing, and enriching the rural life thru
out the country.
Club work, if for no other reason is
that greatest means of helping to keep
the younger people on the farm, for it
leads them to realize the possibilities of
farm life and to look upon it as wor¬
thy of their best thoughts and efforts,
and not to try to manage the farm and
home as grandfather and grandmother
did. For during the past ten years or
more farming conditions have changed
and there have been numerous improve¬
ments in farm life which time demands
must he realized, and with the change
comes success and happiness. This is
due to and brought about through the
influence of Club work.
In introducing the Club work into
communities, in many instances the
best eanned products, the best sewing,
best cooking, first pure-breds on the
farm have come through the interest
of the Club members.—Agricultural Ex¬
tension News.

of the carcass and the cut edges bv
dashing cold water into and upon the
carcass.
The leaf lard, that thick layer of fat
in the body of the hog around the kid¬
neys and lining of the belly, should lie
removed by passing the fingers between
it and the flesh while the carcass is
still warm. Removing the leaf at this
time allows the animal heat to escape
more freely and tends to prevent the
souring or spoiling of the loin and
hams. The carcass should now l>o split
down the middle line of the hacklwme
from the tail to the head, as this allows
a freer circulation of the air through
the carcass and aids materially in the
escape of the body heat. The saw is
generally used to split the backbone
unless the butcher is an expert, in
which ease it can be done with a cleav¬
er. Do not split the head or remove it
from the body, for it serves to hold the
sides together and to prevent their
slipping off the gambrel and being soil¬
ed by a fall to the ground.

UNEXPECTED PRESENT
The holidax season is responsible tor
some strange forms of human activity.
An example of such was furnished i.y
a local capitalist who does not stoop to
beverages stronger than water. During
the Christmastime a renter came in to
square an account of $32.50. With a
proper measure of glee, the capitalist
reached fora pad of receipts. T.ut in the
confusion of the moment secured a pad
of checks instead. The check was prop¬
erly filled out and turned over to the
renter, who went out somewhat dazed
at the magnitude of the Christmas gift
which his landlord had seen fit to be¬
stow upon hint, but he had sufficient
presence of mind to cash the check a i l
use the proceeds. The tragedy of the
affair is that the landlord has not yet
been able to convince the cosher of the
check that it was not intended for a
present. It remains to he seen whetlm
this incident will boost the business of
rent paying.—Monroe Advertiser.
CHRISTMAS RIFLES ARE
PROVING DANGEROUS
Santa Claus seems to have exercised
a hit of poor judgment this year in th
inatter of leaving firearms with young¬
sters. The youths proceeded to go on
the warpath whenever there was oppor¬
tunity, and in the absence of real gain
they did not hesitate to attack the d >
mestic animals of their neighbors. The
results of the misclirected efforts ( .f
these hunters were the deaths of two
calves and a hog, and the injury of a
cow. It seems plttin. therefore, that par¬
ents make a mistake in allowing ehil
dr n to own or use firearms, and this
is certainly true itt the case of those
who make no pretense of controlling
their children.—Monroe Advertiser.
TRIED TO THAW OUT BOOZE
A ghastly story has reached Quit
man of a poor negr o in the county who
almost lost his life as the result of the
well meant ministrations of his friends,
says the Free Press. He had imbibed
too freely of shine of the infamous
“white mule” brand, and became par¬
alyzed. The efforts of his companions to
revive him were without avail. When
he remained in a comatose condition,
they lost their heads and took the help¬
less victim out in the woods and built
a roaring fire around him to thaw him
out. He, being unable to move, was lit¬
erally roasted, and has been uncon¬
scious for two days, hovering between
life and death, with the margin on the
side of death.—Tifton Gazette.
