Miss Grace Armstronpr. nutritionist. 

 I niversilv of Illinois (iollesie of Agri- 

 culture, reminds us that all pork- 

 rejrardless of cut — sliould he cooked to 

 the well-done stase. \ sniall |)ercenta!;e 

 of hops contain the ])arasite which 

 causes trichinosis if the j)ork is not 

 cooked well. Thorough cooking makes 

 these j)arasites harmless -just as pas- 

 teurizaticiri kills harmfid hacteria in 

 tnilk. 



One-half hour of cooking time per 

 |>ound of pork i.« a good allowance for 

 hams and other large cuts of pork. Tci 

 check for doncncss. make a small in- 

 cision next to the hone and also in the 

 thicker jiart of the meat. I'rcsli jiork 

 cooked to the well-done stage is grayish 

 in color not pink.
