ANSWER Donna Balascat, Coopereburg, wanted a
recipe and specific instructions for pit cooking a 60-pound pig.
Thanks to Anne Wiegle, Pottstown, for sending the following
instructions.
Whole Pit-Roasted Pip*
You will need:
Whole young pig, dressed and shaved
Rock-lined pit dug ahead of time
Several rounded rocks from a stream/ in 1 to 4 pound
weights. (Sun dry for a week). '
3 bushels or more of dry hard wood
Green com stalks and leaves
Big tongs for handling hot rocks
Chicken wife or fencing—enough to encircle a pig
2 baling hooks to carry roasted pig
12 dean burlap sacks
Canvas large enough to cover pit
• Allow 1 pound dressed meat per person.
• Dig hole about 214 -feet deep at center, with diameter of
514 • to 8-feet depending on size of pig. Line with rocks.
• Stack wood on rocks, Indian-tepee style. Light fire. Place
round rocks in fire where they will get the most heat
• While fire bums down, wet the burlap, and prepare pig.
Rub inside of pig with salt and pepper, and garlic if desired.
Place pig on chicken wire. Under legs, make slits big enough
to insert round rocks. When fire has burned down and rocks
are very hot, use tongs to fill abdominal cavity and slits In legs
with hot rocks. Tie front legs together, then back legs. Wrap
pig in wire, fastening well (so it can be lifted).
• Completely cover ashes and rocks with com stalks and
leaves. Lower pig right onto leaves. Cover it generously on
top and sides with more leaves.
• Place wet burlap over leaves (this will hold heat and
steam).
• Cover with large canvas; shovel gravel over canvas to
keep steam in.
• Cooking time starts now. For 25-pound pig, allow about 2
hours; for 50 pound pig, allow about 2 % hours; anything hea
vier, figure on at least 4 hours. If in doubt about doneness,
leave pig in longer (because of steam, it won’t burn).
• To uncover, remove gravel, canvas, burlap and covering
leaves. Lift and carry wire-wrapped pit with hooks. Remove
wire to serve.
• In Hawaii the servers dip their hands frequently in cold
water as they pull pork apart for individual servings. On the
mainland, the servings of hot. Juicy pork often are best liked
when served in buttered buns, with barbecue sauce.
ANSWER —Fem Myers, Summerhill, writes that she has a
copy of "Doctor Goat,” which was requested by an Annville
reader. Fem wants to keep the book, she writes, for its pic
tures and because it was well-loved by her children. However,
she sent the words to the poem authored by Georgiana and
copyrighted 1950 by Whitman Publishing Co.
‘Doctor Goat”
Doctor Goat put on his coat
And went out to make some calls.
He went to a house of a mouse with mumps
He cured a frog who had the jumps. ,
He fixed a fox who suffered from measles
He did the same for two small weasels.
Busy old Doctor Goat!
Then he warmed a worm whose tail was cold.
And felt the pulse of an elk who was old.
Pink pills for an owl with fuzz on his tongue.
Blue pills for a bat who was very high strung.
Wonderful Doctor Goat!
Early one day in the month of May
The doctor got out of bed.
He felt his throat and then his head,
"I think I'm ill,” the doctor said.
"/ must find a pill to fix my throat.”
Atchoo! Atchoo!”
"Oh what will I do?
I gave my last pill to Grandmother Goat."
Poor sick old Doctor Goat got into bed
With a cloth on his head and another around Ids throat.
For a whole long day in the month of May
He slept, did Doctor Goat.
His bag on the floor, on the wall, his coat.
While he slept, his friends came in
They swept the floor as neat as a pin
They fixed the fire, they brought some food.
Then fondly brushed the shabby coat
Of tired old Doctor Goat.
And the very next day
He was on his way.
Three cheers for Doctor Goat!
