Hog killing is a family affair

“The killing of hogs, as well as the complete butchering process, was done outside. After shooting the animal between the eyes, the jugular vein was pierced with a sharp knife. When the bleeding had slowed, the hog was taken to the kettle of water for the scalding process. Having this water heated ‘just right’ was very important. If it wasn’t quite hot enough, the hair would not loosen enough, and if it was just a little too hot, it ‘set’ the hair. When this occurred, there was nothing left to do but skin the hog. This seldom happened however, and after the hog had been dipped several times and scraped thoroughly, he was ready to be hung.
