IN MEAT AND WOOL.
MESSAGES FROM N.Z
oca OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LONDON, November 16.
Mr E. Gratten, an employee of a firm of Southend butchers,,has had an interesting experience in the course of his business. A few months ago lie was engaged in cutting up a frozen carcase of mutton from New Zealand when he was surprised to find insido it a piece of paper bearing an address and a request that the finder would write in reply. The missive came from Timaru, .and MY Gratten accordingly wrote in response. Ho has now received letters from two waterfront workers at Timaru, who sav that they also put addresses in wool that was going to England, and as a result they had letters from Birmingham and Scotland. The • correspondents then proceed to give an interesting description of Timaru and of their work, there. One of the writers remarks:-"We have one of the finest countries-in the world and our climate is most, wonderful."' The letters are published in a Southend paper in full and will, no doubt, have some effect on tho migration figures.
