The Pafacios and Prairie Center
Home Demonstration Clubs nut at
the home of Mrs. Jack Chamblee.
Mr. Montague, County Agent, dem-
cnstiated the cutting and Mrs. Sides,
County Home Demonstrator, showed
the women how to can and cure the
meat. One yearling and one pig was
butchcred and six ways of canning the
meat was shown to the twenty-five
people present.
Anyone that has meat to can or cure
should certainly attend one of these
meat demonstrations before trying to
can the product for best results.
Mr. Chamblee put up 40 pounds of
pork by the dry-cure method as fol-
lows:—8 pounds salt, 3 pounds sugar,
3 ounces saltpeter (potassium nitrate.)
Rub slightly over half of this mix-
ture on the meat and pack it down in
a barrel or a stone jar. Save the re-
mainder of the mixture. At the end
of seven days repack the meat and rub
on the remainder of the curing mix-
ture. Let the bacon and Canadian
bacon cure one and one-half days per
pound per piece. For example, if your
pieces of bacon weigh ten pound each,
they should be cured not to e xceed fif-
teen days. Let the hams and shoul-
ders three days per pound per piece.
For example, fifteen pound hams
should cure fo.rty-five days. Let the
shoulder butts cure two days per
pound per piece.
After the meat has been properly
cured a smoke-house can be madie out
of an oidinary barrel.
Six cookers were used at Chamblee's
with a canned result as follows:
Roasts, 41; Stew, 3; Sausage, 10 #3
cans; Chili, 42; mince meat, 13; meat
loaf, 8 #2 cans. •
The value of the two animals on
hoof was $12.00. Cost of cans and
seasoning, $9.00. Value of the canned
products, $38.90, giving a net profit
of $17.90.
The canning was done with the as-
sistance of 11 Prairie Center mem-
bers, 7 Palacios members and five vis-
itors. Among the visitors was Mrs.
Allen Pierce, of Blessing, and Mrs.
Harry Ward, of Palacios.

Mrs. P. A. Richmond, Sr. while in

home when the fire was discovered
and Mrs. Richmond who is not a
young woman any more, managed to
get up on the roof and the girl hand-
ed her buckets of water until they put
the fire out, how she was ever able
to do it is still a mystery to her, Mrs.
Richmond says, and it is to her family
and friends as well.

Frankson, was here Monday to appear
before the Commissioners' Court in the
interest of a gravel road from the Ca-
rancahua school building to the Hug-

that the labor could be brought under
the federal relief program and that the
gravel or shell would cost very little.
The distance is a fraction over a mile.
The road, beginning at the school
building, would go directly north to the
