10 BULLETIN 928, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
hams cured with 70 per cent corn sugar were of the highest quality, 
closely followed, in turn, by those cured with cerelose and granulated 
sugar, while those cured with refiners’ sirup were considered to be 
of appreciably lower quality. Tierce 5, in which refiners’ sirup was 
used as the source of sugar, was cured according to the regular prac- 
tice at this establishment, except that the hams were cured in a tierce 
instead of in a large, open vat. 
At establishment C the basis of scoring ranged from 5 to 1, as 
compared with 4 to 1 at establishment B, and 6 to 1 at establishment. 
A. The data presented in Table 8 indicate that at establishment C 
there was comparatively little difference in the quality of the three 
lots of hams cured with granulated sugar, dextrose, and refiners’ 
sirup. The hams cured with cerelose were of ofily slightly lower 
quality, and those cured with 70 per cent corn sugar were considered 
to be of poorer quality than the others, but all lots were of good 
quality.
