New Zealand Mutton.

The story of a New Zealand sheepfl designed for the London market magfl be very briefly told. It is taken from® the run of the slaughter house, killed® dressed and transferred to the eoolinjfl room. The skin and superfluous fgß are retained; after ten hours’ coollrq® the carcass goes into the refrigeratinjfl| ■ room for thirty-six hours. Thence ifli goes to the storing room and when has been enveloped in its cottoifl “shirt” and labeled is ready for itfl| journey over sea. The steamers whfaK bring the meat to us through the trotjjflj les have, of course, to be fitted with refl frigerating appliances, and our sheeflj takes its place among thousands flflj others, some of the boats being fltte® to carry as many as 70,000 iat one time.—Good Words. | fl|
