New Zealand Frozen Meat.
It is.pleasng to note, says a Wellington paper,that the advertisement of the Gear Company, m reference to ) forwarding frozen carcases of lambs and sheep to addresses at Home has been productive of considerable business. So great has been the demand made upon the company that some difficulty has been experienced m meeting it, and we learn that further orders for frozen lambs will have to be declined. Some 200 lambs will be forwarded by the s.s. Ruapehu, which is to arrive m England m time for the orders to be distributed by the New year. No better means could be addopted for popularising New Zealand froxen meat, for the article will be delivered to many families which, under ordinary circumstances, would probably not think of purchasing it direct from the butcher's. It is now undisputed that a large amount of New Zealand meat is retaUed as genuine English, the latest dodge to assist this fraud being the attachment of feet to, the imported carcases. The butchers allude to the fact that frozen sheep arrive without feet, and then point triumphantly to their stock with the feet attached. It is needless to say that, when the carcases are subdivided, the feet are put on one side to do duty again and again.
