Butchering Time
j The other day someone mentioned
that a lot of folks around the farm
plan on doing their butchering at this
season of the year. Many of the old-
timers used to plan on doing the job
between Christmas and New Years,
While others preferred to waif until
after the holidays were over. Times
are rapidly changing and the new
deep-freeze and cold storage lockers
have changed the picture considerably,
but there are still quite a large num
ber of farmers who do their own
butchering ‘and their own processing.
I like to think back to the days when
11 was still a schoolboy, when the but
chering job was a lot more messy
than it is now, but a lot more inter
esting. In later years many folks have
preferred to call in the services of a
custom butcher, for all you have to
do then is deliver the hog to his
slaughter house, and call back later
for the dressed carcass. You can even
have it all done up in wrapped cuts,
with the sausage, headcheese and lard
all looked after as well. That takes a
lot of fun out butchering.
There was always a lot of prepar
ation for butchering. There had to
be tubs and tubs of water brought to
the boiling point to scald the pig well
enough that the bristles would scrape
off easily. There had to be a tripod
limb of a tree. The knives all had to
be sharpened, and there had to be a
liberal supply of pa.ils and tubs made
ready. There was always and amateur
butcher around the community, just
the same as there was a farmer who
had a knack for framing barn tim
bers, another feeding the threshing
machine, and there was a neighbours
hood practical nurse, who always
answered the call for a midwife. With
the hog butchered, scalded jn a bar
rel and scraped on the flat rack of
the sleigh, came the job of cleaning
up the carcass, and leaving it to cool
before it was to be cut up. While this
was going on there was plenty of
other jobs to be done. The hog’s head
had to be cut up and made ready for
headcheese, The tongue, heart, liver
and tenderloin and the tail were all
prepared for special dishes that would
make your mouth water. Many people
like pig's hocks and pig’s feet, and
these two were made ready while the
carcass was cooling. The headcheese
was cooked, ground up and set to cool
and harden in the dishes already made
ready the job.
Then the carcass was cut down and
the various roasts made up. The odd
pieces were thrown into a washtub to
yej iiiatre iiivu sausage, ana rne om?F
cuts, smoked, salted or wrapped for
cold storage. The fat is then cleaned
off both the skin and the meat and
made ready for rendering into lard.
With the huge iron pot of lard ren
dering on the top of the stove and
large pan of lard also rendering in
the oven, the house began to smell
like a short order lunch counter at
midnight, but everyone liked it. With
the large pails of lard set to cool, the
headcheese in the cellar and the meat
cured, then cam,e the sausage-making
job, The meat had to be ground mak
ing sure there was enough fat
enough lean. The ground meat
then heaped on the kitchen table,
mixed with the salt, pepper, sage
other spices. This mixed to the satis
faction of the housewife, then came
the job of filling the already prepared
casings. For the next few days mother
will be busy frying down sausage and
putting it in the jars.
Butchering on the farm has chang
ed, there is no doubt, but we can all
look back with fine memories to the
days when it was an experience and
an education to be around on butcher
ing day. The young folks who have
never had this experience have missed
out on some of life’s richest blessings.

Frank Bogues, a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Bogues, while crossing
the river near the carding mill in
Lucknow, broke through the ice, and
was rescued with difficulty by R. T.
Douglas, who happened along just at
the time. Had Mr. Douglas not been
near, without a doubt a drowning
would have occurred. Frank’s little
sister, Margaret, was drowned in the
same river only a couple of months
ago.

After many attempts ‘King Winter
heralded the new year with four inch
es of snow that blanketed the earth
evenly. A further fall of the beautiful
stuff during the day and Tuesday
night left about a foot of snow. This
will help in a great measure to stop
the epidemic of flu, which has ravaged
the countryside for a fortnight or so.
Fortunately Wingham escaped any
serious outbreak.

Residents of Elmwood and the dis

programs without owning machines.
Mr. E. Bowman of that village, who
built the telephone system some years
ago, is constructing radio lines, not
only in Elmwood but for the benefit of
farmers in the Sth, 10th and 12th con
cessions of Brant. The experiment is
said to be working splendidly. For 8
hours daily programs may be heard
through the medium of Mr. Bowman's
powerful radio, equipped with loud
speaker. The annual fee charged by
him is small compared with the ser
vice given.
Sparling Yeo, of Brantford, is

Skating and curling were later this
year getting started. The Arena open
ed for skating Saturday evening and
was well patronized as it was on the
holiday also. The curlers got going
with a bang on Monday afternoon. A
jitney was held and the attendance
was big, many sitting in the club
rooms watching the games. Those who
ski, snowshoe and toboggan have had
a great time this past week when
plenty of snow made these sports
most pleasant.

minister of group organization in the
