The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Canned Meat 
The way to handle the meat situation 
is to raise the meat and then put it into 
cans, just as we can fruit. It is not only 
the cheapest way of handling meat, but 
it turns out a grade of it that is far and 
away ahead of anything the butcher can 
show, and it puts the family so far ahead 
of the butcher and his prices that he is 
not in sight. 
I know a family that has canned a full- 
year’s meat supply for several years, and 
it would not go back to the old way of 
living for anything, even if meat were 
cheap. It put up nearly 100 cans last 
Winter, and the meat turned out is the 
best that can be had anywhere. The work 
is done at a time of the year when other 
work is not pressing, and the cost is 
directly no more than it would be if feed 
and labor were cheap. Anybody who can 
put up fruit can do the same with meat 
and it will come out just as well. Not 
a single can has ever spoiled. If it does 
not turn out as sweet as it was "when it 
was put up, then the work bas not been 
done properly. 
The way to begin would be to put up 
a few cans and see if the process is un¬ 
derstood, then vary it if the cans do not 
keep. The meat is cooked, so that it can 
be prepared for the table in a short time. 
No matter what the meat is, it comes 
out as good as it ever was, and the family 
is supplied with the best that is to be 
had. The men cut up the meat and the 
women do the cooking and filling of the 
cans. The person who goes down into 
his cket deep for sirloin steak and that 
sort of thing would be as much delighted 
with canned meat as anyone for you get 
just the meat that is put up every time. 
I did hear of someone who canned a lot 
of meat that did not keep, but that was 
fi’om some defect in canning. Start in a 
small way till the process is a sure thing, 
and I assure you that your family will 
have canned meat after that to the end 
of the chapter. Who says that the 
farmer has not more resources in the 
living line than anyone else? j. w. c. 
Removing Taint from Meat 
On page 1250 A. L. S. asks how to 
cure tainted meat. I have used this 
method several times: Dig a trench 
about 18 in. wide, 2y 2 to 3 ft. deep. Cover 
sides with long rye stray to keep ground 
from falling on meat. Put two 2x4 hem- 
lock joists on edge in bottom, place stups 
of meat on edge, not touching each 
other. Cover top with straw, put board 
or something to keep from blowing oil, 
leave two weeks, take out and put m new 
brine. Your meat will be as sweet as 
when butchered; try it and see results.

Controlling Unruly Bull 
Take a chain and place around his 
horns if he has any, or around his neck 
and down through his halter, and on the 
end of the chain fasten two hooks (make 
them out of old wagon rods yourself) to 
the end of chain so that they will 311 
reach to his hind feet. 11 hen he starts 
to walk they will give him cause to think 
he is tied. Leave the hooks on only two 
or three days, but leave a chain on him. 
To keep a bay fork rope from twisting, 
change it end for end— that is, hitch the 
team on the end that has been fastened 
to the car. J. v.u.

Tuberculosis in Vermont 
A few weeks ago the Vermont State 
Jersey Cattle Club met at Windsor At 
this meeting Commissioner L. b. mig- 
ham explained the “accredited work now 
beinjr done in Vermont to eradicate tuber¬ 
culosis. He said that while much has 
been done in the past, the accredited 
work seems the most efficient. A dairy¬ 
man must first agree to have all the cows 
of his herd tuberculin-tested and allow 
the State to take over any reactors; sec¬ 
ond. he must not purchase or bring into 
his herd anv unknown or untested ani¬ 
mals- aud third, he must not feed calves 
or pigs on skim-milk or whey from cream¬ 
eries when milk is delivered from un¬ 
tested herds, and which are not known 
to be free from tuberculosis. After test¬ 
ing bv the State has shown the herd to 
bo free from tuberculosis for two con¬ 
secutive years, the dairyman is placed on 
this accredited list, which permits him 
to ship any of his tested cattle into any 
State in tile Union without further test¬ 
ing for a period of one year. 
To provide funds for payment for cattle 
slaughtered, the Federal Government has 
appropriated $75,000 to match $75,000 
appropriated by the State of Vermont, 
which, with $50,000 from other sources, 
will make a fund of about $200,000 for 
this work. All cattle reacting are ap¬ 
praised. the maximum being $150 for a 
purebred and $100 for a grade. The 
State, from this fund, pays the farmer 
75 per cent of the appraised value. The 
commissioner stated that he confidently 
expected this new law would in time go 
a long way toward eradicating this 
scourge from PUS feSKlS.
