CONSERVING THE MEAT SUPPLY.
Mr W. H. Field, M.P., asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any information as to the steps which the Imperial Government, for the purpose of conserving the meat supply of the country, has recently taken, or is taking, to prevent the slaughter of calves in the United Kingdom, and whether he will consider the advisability oi taking steps with the same object in New Zealand, and thus check, without creating loss to farmers, the slaughter and the faulty and insufficient rearing of healthy calves, and whether it would not pay the State to purchase and undertake the rearing of such calves in large numbers and by scientific methods. In reply, the Hon. Mr MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture, said the Imperial Government has advised fanners at Home not to kill calves or immature animals. In New Zealand young cattle are not allowed to he slaughtered for export. It is more than doubtful whether the Government could advantageously undertake the rearing of calves as suggested. Many of the calves in dairying districts aie, of course, unsuitable for beef.
