SHIPPING SHEEP ALIVE.
NOVEL ARGENTINE IDEA. Mr. Donald Ross, of Wanganui, who returned last week from a trip to Great Britain, saw something at Monte Video that was of interest to New Zealandera. He saw a vessel of three decks carrying live sheep. . He boarded the steamer, and learned that she had 1200 sheep which were being conveyed to England. On, the voyage the sheep were fed on hay and water. They were landed in England alive, and then sold as English mutton. _ The visitor learned that the animals did not loso much in condition. The good prices obtained through the sheep being sold as English'mutton well compensated the owners for the expenses entailed in shipping the sheep alive. Very few were lost on tho way, and on tho previous trip, which was rough, tyily lj per cent, of the livo cargo died.
