Killing Hogs.
Killing hogs is a business in which the
whole community is interested, and per
haps a small portion acquainted with. It is
termed—"butchering," and is often carried
on in a butchering style, while it is a busi
ness worthy of being conducted iu a decent
and scientific way. Ido not propose going
into a long programme of telling how r to
catch a hog,and how to hold him,&c.,but to
throw out a few hints.
Do not*suffer the hog to be run over and
worried by men, boys and dogs, getting his
blood and tlesh heated, just before killing. ;
I believe this is one cause of meat spoiling, i
Sometimes we drive a hog or two to a neigh
bor's so as to "kill together," as it is term
ed, making use of the same same tire
and other fixings ; and we have known the
hams and shoulders of hogs thus driven to
come out a little short before the next sum
mer was over.
Let the hog be killed with as little noise,
and worriment, and excitement as possible.
A Jerseymian has one man to go into the
pen, select his first victim, and shoot him,
or with a broad faced hammer (like a shoe
maker's hammer) knock down the hog,when
other men come immediately and stick, oth
ers drag out, and go to scalding,and so OD,
with a large number of hogs.
Scalding machines have become verj
common, and are a good institution ; bat
everybody has not got one, and still use
tubs. I like the tub, and want nothing
better for ordinary times ; but I want a
rope and tackle, and one or two hands to
help work the hog. I would not allow a
hog put into water while there is a sign of
life in him ; but when dead, make an open
ing to the gambrel strings and hook in,
hoist the hog and dip hiui head and shoul
ders into the scald ; do not let him remain
more than a second or two, lest his hair
"sets hoist him and air him, and if need
ful, dip him, again and again, till done ;
then hook into the lower jaw, and scald the
hinder parts. I like slow scalds the best,
as lest likely to "set the hair." While the
hind parts arc getting scalded, the face
may be cleansed. Too little attention
is generally given to cleaning the head, as
also the feet, leaving them for the women
to worry over by the hour in some cold out
kitchen. As soon as the hog- is hung up
and washed off, let the head be taken off
and set upon a barrel or block, and regu
larly shaved and cleaned.
And now, while speaking of the head, I
want to say how I cut up a head. I lay it
on its side and take off the jowl (or lower
jaw ;) I then saw down across the face,
above the eyes, but careful to run into the
eye sockets, and on through, leaving the
eye balls with the snout end, so that there
is no further trouble with gouging the eyes
out of the face piece ; then, without further
separating of the parts, starting between
the cars, saw up and downwise, not caring
to extend further down the snout lhau to
the saw {park across the face, hut clean
through at the other eud. Now, having
done with the ears for handles, I cut thcu>
off, then take out the brams for pickling
skiu the snout, and take off the flesh for
scrapple,and throw the nasal organs away.
The faces are to be corned. I use a saw,
but never an axe, in cutting up a hog ; con
sequently the meat is clear of splinters and
chips of bones. In "chining a hog" to cool,
I saw down the ribs instead, of hacking
them with a hatchet. A small sized hog
hook flattened,answers very well for taking
off the hoofs and toe nails of a porker—or
you may use a pair of pincers.— Gerniantown
leh graph.
Keeping Cabbages-
The following article, from the Boston
Cultivator, is worthy of perusal :
About the first week in November I be
gin pulling my cabbage for winter, throw
ing four rows together, so that the heads of
eacli two rows will lie opposite to each oth
er, and as I set my cabbage 3 by 3 feet, it
gives room enough to drive a pair of horses
and cart between the rows.
If the heads are not very hard,l set them
as soon as pulled ; but if hard and very
"ripe," I let them lie until they are wilted
before setting.
The bed where they ire to be set being
made mellow "by plowing, I begin by har
rowing in, beating off the roots as much
dirt as 1 can, taking no more pains in load
ing them than Massachusetts farmers do
their pumpkins and corn, and dump them
upon the bed in the same careless manner.
IVira?£-a-iECIIC.h dgpp enough so that the
heads when lying one-quarter way from an
upright to a horizontal position will rest
upon the top of the trench, packing them r
close as I can and keeping the heads level
with each other, and then cover the roots
and about three-quarters of the stump with
loose dirt, and then set another row as
above, and so continue until the bed is fin
ished, —a bed about 30 feet wide.
Having finished setting', 1 throw a ridge
about S inches wide around the bed, level
with the cabbage,and let them remain until
it is very cold, and if it should rain and
snow and freeze two or three inches of ice
upon them before I cover,l think they keep
better ; I cover with hay about two inches
deep after it is settled.
If I wished to keep them until May, I
would set them as above on the north side
of a building on a high knoll, and cover
very light until they freeze quite hard, aud
then I would throw water on them until ice
was formed at least three inches thick, and
then cover with hay to keep the ice from
thawing until late in the spring.
RING WORM.— This is a disease occasion
ally met with amongst horses and cattle,
and in many cases it proves a very trouble
some disorder. It consists in a peculiar
growth of organic cells in the surface of the
skin, la man, ringworm is a common af
fection, and it is said to be communicable
from him to the lower animals, but like all
other skin diseases, it is generated by un
clcanliness. The symptoms of ringworm
are small apparently ulcerated patches ap
pearing on various parts of the body,these
patches look white aud scabby and have a
great tendency to spread, the animal soon
falls off in condition and his coat gets dry
and dirty looking.
Treatment. —The patient shonld be kept
from coming in contact with other anima's,
the affected parts should be well cleaned
and touched with a mild caustic and after
wards dressed daily with iodine or mercu
rial ointment. Ringworm, if attended to in
the early stage, is easily cured.
MOLASSES JELI. CAKE.—I wiil give you my
recipe for molasses jell cake. Take three
eggs, one cup of molasses, one teaepoonfu! 1
of soda, two of cream tartar, two or three
tablespoonfuls of new milk, two cups of,
flour ; stir all well together, then grease :
the dripping pan and spread the mass upon
it evenly and tfcke fifteen minutes. Smear
it with jelly while hot,*and put away to
cool. J. H. M.
