STORING MEAT IN TEE COLD STORAGE
LOCKER
mhe present.hunting person is
taking its toll .of wild game and
mucu of it i.a finding its way into
the new locker plant for storage.
At the same time many questions are
bei .g asked about preparation of
the meat for storage says Frances
lyrne, borne. Demonstration agent.
An interview with Mr. Walter
Cooper, locker manager brings forth :
some suggestions for hunters and
locker patrons. Moose rrmst be
drawn immediately, says Mr. Cooper.
Already considerable meat has spoil
ed 'because the animal was not drawn
soon after ki.lling, he says, A
rru tter of but a few hours may be toe
late. There is a proper way to cut
th carcass in order to obtain the
best pieces. If the animal must bel
cut smaller than quarters in order ;
to "arry it out, Mr. Cooper suggestJ
following the plan used for whole
sale cuts of beef. Then the butchei
will be able to make good table
sized pieces of best quality.
In the cutting of both wild game
and ojmestic animals the housewife
is sked to tell the locker butcher
hew she would, like. it. cut, into
the tablesized pieces she wishes to
fit the size of her family and the 1
use to which she wishes to put it.
In general, the locker manager
continues, the cleaner the game is
kept in transportation the better
it will be and the less waste will
lave to be trimmed. Carrying plenty
of canvas and flour sacks in which
to wrap the pieces Is a good idea.
Meat to be stored in a cold
storage locker should n°t be frozen
before it is brought in. This Is
important, says Mr. Cooper, because
meat must properly age and then be
put through the sharp freeze.Freez
ing before aging destroys some of
the quality end must be thawed be
fore It can be handled. Furthermore
outdoor temperatures a*r$;, net low
enough to freeze the meat quickly.
In the dressing down of.pork,
particularly meat scraps, and lard
are trimmed out and placed in a box.|
Patrons ere urged by the locker man
agement to call for these scraps.
They can be better utilized in the
kitchen as fresh meat and lard than
stored in the locker.
Further information regarding
preparation of meat or other farm
products for locker storage can be j
secured from the extension office
or the locker plant.
Special storage wrapping paper
is used at the locker for wrapping,
ind is recommended as the best. !.
