=Lard Packing.=--Refined lard is not usually drawn in a cooler. In most
climates the non-refrigerated rooms will suffice. It is packed in tubs,
barrels or tierces of wood. The lard, when available, in the picker
trough, is usually chilled and stiff. The use of a pump is made to
withdraw and force it through a strainer in an enlarged section of the
pipe, so as to effectually break all lumps. A relief valve should be
placed on the line to spill into the picker in case the draw cocks are
all suddenly closed.
