A Pabadise. — An Uruguay Qcrve-pondent of the "Times" writes: — " Where 1 am now we have the best grass-fed animals all the year round to eat, at a cost of from £1 10s. to £2 a-head. This is the price of the animal alive. The supply is unlimited, and the meat is of the i very best descripttdn, and free from all disease, cattle plague being unknown. I have killed of my own estancia here ' stats' of four years old, giving of grease and 'taUow alone 50 lbs., and these were all grass fed. Here artificial feeding is unknown, and would not pay at present. Why, therefore, should England ever want beef when it can easily be got from this province dead or alive as cared for, and to any extent, within the space of 37 days by steamer from here to England at very little cost?
