Show CURING MEAT 1 AT HOME IE There are two good methods of curing meat says H H. H. H Smith Professor of Animal Husbandry the brine cure an and the dry cure The dry cure Is us used by many b because it Is simpler though it is probably true that less meat is lost during the curing process where the brine method is used The formula for Cor pounds of meat in the brine cure Is Js Water Vater four gallons salt eight pounds sugar tW two pounds salt peter 3 ounces Shoulders and hams liams weighing I about 15 IG pounds should stay in hi the i cure about three days for each pound Bacon should stay in the cure about one and one-half one to two days das per pound The formula for the dry cure is the for the brine except that the water is omitted The Ingredients are arc mixed and rubbed on the meat The meat should not remain as ns long in the dry cure as in the brine The hams should stay in about two days for each pound in weight and the bacon one to one and one fourth days for each pound After the meat has been in the I cure for the Ule proper length of time It should be taken out soaked for I thirty minutes in warm water water water wa wa- ter and smoked When the meat is hung for smoking care should be taken taleen to see that none of the pieces touch Care must also be betaken betaken taken to see sec that plenty of smoke and very little heat is produced Meat is often damaged in the smoking process because the fire is sometimes allowed to blaze up and the meat It partially cooked It should be lie smoked about 30 hrs or until the meat has a good straw color Any kind hind of wood may be used for smoking except woods which contain rosin Though apple tree and maple seem to be he the woods most in favor in Utah cottonwood aspen willow or corn cobs are good After sufficient smoke has been applied the meat should be wrapped wrapped wrapped wrap wrap- ped in parchment paper put into muslin bags and either hung in a cool dry well ventilated place or buried in a grain bin A circular on curing meat may maybe maybe maybe be secured from the Extension Service at the Utah State Agricultural Agricultural Agricultural Agri Agri- I cultural College I Western Vestern Sheep Lamb Lant b Contract Report For week ended Saturday January Januar January Jan Jan- uary 12 1935 The The weather conditions have b been en very favorable the past week In the Intermountain region There has been very little snow but rain has been quite plentiful Country trading has been somewhat limited limited limited limit limit- ed practically all of the deals consummated consummated consummated con con- summated were by Pacific Coast packers It Is the general concen concen- sus of opinion that the bulk bull of the feedlot lambs In Idaho and antI Utah I have found an outlet Those remaining remaining remaining re re- re- re will undoubtedly be purchased purchased purchased pur pur- chased by packers F F.
