WELLINGTON MEAT EXPORT CO., LTD.

(By Arrangement.)

A most interesting exhibit at tho Manawatu Show was that of tho. Wellington Meat Export Co., Ltd. There is an instructive collection of wools, hides, tallows, oils, pelts, preserved meat, and, in fact; the whole of the byproducts connected with the frozen meat industry, all attractively .' arranged in a laige marquee. Sheepskins are shown in every stage of 'manufacture from the rough pelt to tho higlily-fiiiished basil, imitation chamois, alligator skin, and other fancy leathers that aro so widely used in bookbinding, etc. . To sd high a degree of perfection has the tanner's art been displayed in the product under notice, that none but an expert could tell the substitute for the real article. Tho wdol is so classod that the farmer can see at a glance which class his own fleeces should be in. In addition; there is a collection of wool from all parts of the world; Which enables comparisons to be made. This miniature exhibition of by-productß is cf such a comprehensive nature as to strikingly deihottstratn at a glaucc what the freezing industry has done, and is doing for the farmers of New Zealand. _ This ia the more pronounced when it is remembered that a fetv years ago tho only assot which shecpowners obtained from their surplus stock was a few shillings for the skill and tallow. A uhiqilo and highly instructive part of tho company's display is tho Various stages which the wool passes through before being converted into cloth. The real articles in every stage of process is shown, and not .only farmers, but school teachers aiid overyono should see this exhibit. FirSt of all there is tlia greasy fleece. It is scoured, cleaned, and dried; dyed black, blended with white, converted into sliver bv oarding-ihachirie; tho noil, consisting of short fibres, separated from the top; drawing to reduce the top to a thin sliver, so that it can bo spun iiito & fine even tlircad; the roviiig ready for spinning; worsted yarn produced on spinning frame from roving; the hard spun thread niado by spinning frame from roving, and wound on the bobbins, while, after sdvfiral other procpsses, you have the .cloth produced by tlie loom. This is indeed an Interesting part of the Meat Export Company's exhibit this year, and should be inspected.
