AN EXPERIMENT.
The. new method of transit of fat lambs by means of motor lorries to Freezing Works has induced the New Zealand Meat Producers' Board to experiment in the direction of ascertaining what the loss in condition amounts to compared with the driven lambs.. Opinions differ as to the extent that lambs, particularly early lambs, suffer in condition and general appearance if driven any great distance as compared with lambs which have been railed or motored. The tests which are being carried out by the Board have been confirmed to lambs "off their mothers," but are not yet complete as the season is too far advanced. They will . be resumed again at ,the commencement of next Reason with the first drafts of early milk lambs. The result of these experiments will be published when complete and will be of interest to farmex's in all districts.
