For the last 10 years this 160 pounds of meat could have been produced' slaughtered, and cured on the farm for 35 per cent less than it would have cost at the local market.

The difference in cost of home cured meat and that purchased on the market has been especially great during the last two years. Some suggestions for hog killing time made by A. M. Patterson of the agricultural collegt staff are herewith offered. Professor Patterson has made a specialty of pork preparation.

He slaughters, dozens of animals every season. He is practical, as well as a theoretical man. The following remarks are based upon a rich background of experience and every point has been worked out in practice. he meat from fat, healthy hogs, that are gaining in weight will keep longer danis more palatable. The hog that is kept off feed for 15 hours prior to killing will bleed better.

Shooting or stunning the hog before sticking or exciting him will also retard bleeding. The water used in Bcalding should be heated to 165 degrees, or tested by passing the fingers through the water three times. If it smarts the third time the fingers are passed through the water is about right. Lye and wood ashes are excellent when added east of Neodesha Wednesday. Death was caused by torysilitis.

As soon as the meat is set firmly, It can be cut up into hams, shoulders, loins, and other subdivisions. If the meat is to be cured and kept through the summer, it is Important that It should be quickly and thoroughly cooled. It should never be salted while the animal heat is in it or while frozen. For curing, a clean hardwood barrel is a good receptacle, or a large jar is even better. Prpfessor Patterson offers recipe for sugar cured hams and bacon which has proved popular.

Each piece of meat is rubbed with salt, allowed to drain overnight, then packed closely in a barrel or Jar, placing the hams and shoulders on the bottom and useing the strips of bacon to fill the top. To each 100 pounds of meat add eight pounds of salt, three pounds brown sugar, and three ounces of salt petre dissolved in four gallons of water. The meat should then be covered with this brine. For summer use it Is best to boil the brine, allowing it to cool thoroughly before using. The bacon strips should remain in the brine from four to six weeks and the hams six to eight weeks.
