The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1881.

Tn continuation of the remarks wo made last week on the frozen meat traffic, a reference to the steps taken by the Otago settlers towards floating a company is of interest. The promoters of this undertaking went to work by despatching an agent, Mr Wales, to inspect the factories already established in Victoria and New South Wales; and this gentleman recently returned to Duncdin with a very valuable stock of general information on the general working of these enterprises. The Otago company estimate that a capital of £IO,OOO will be necessary to commence operations. With this sum the company can procure a plant that will refrigerate ICO,OOOIb of meat per week, i.e. either 200 carcasses of beef, or 3,500 carcasses of mutton. The annual proposed export is estimated at a million sheep. It is evident that if a factory were established in this district it would have to be one on a very much smaller scale than the Otago one, for the simple reason that the Wairarapa district could not supply even a quarter of a million of fat sheep per annum; and probably it could not, without co-operation from the West Coast, send in sufficient freight to load periodical vessels, Mr Wales, in his report, gave some interesting details respecting the refrigeration machines used, These are of two kinds—the Gilford and the Bell-Cole-inan—and on the whole he recommends the adoption of the latter in New Zealand, "Bell-Coleman's No. 2 machine (he says) costs at Glasgow £BOO, is said t'o blow 15,000 cubic feet of cold air per hour, and to freeze a space of 8300 cubic feet, With two of these machines, which, he thinks, would he preferable to one large machine, five cold-air chambers or freezing-rooms (each about 30ft by 15ft and callable of holding in a banging position for freezing about 160 quarters of beef or about 650 sheep, or, supposing nil the five rooms to be fully charged, 2000 carcasses of beef, or 3150 sheep), could be frozen at one time and repeated twice a week, or perhaps five times a fortnight, if required; or three of the rooms could be used alternately with one of the machines at work, The freezingrooms should be built inside a larger building, with a clear space of 10ft or 12ft all round except where the cold air is delivered. Protection on that side is afforded by the building where the machine is placed, This space is not lost, The spent cold air allowed to escape from the freezing-room will keep it cool, and the space can be used for packing and other purposes when all the freezing rooms are in use, Bell-Coleman's No. 3 machine, the next size, is much larger and more costly. The price is £JB7S. It is said to blow 36,000 cubic feet of cold air per hour, and to freeze a space of 25,000 cubic feet. The two machines recommended are said to blow 30,000 feofc per hour, and. to freeze a space of 16,600 cubic feet, and to cost £1,600, If one machine only is employed, an accident may stop the whole work, but with two machines complete stoppage is scarcely probable. The site of the proposed works should be as near to the port of shipment as possible, providing that sufficient accommodation and good water are available for the cattle and sheep, and for slaughtering purposes. The site should bo sufficiently large to admit of oxtension. It is almost necessary that meat preserving should go on simultaneously with the freezing operations. There are parts of tliG carcase that would be lost if sent Home as frozen meat, and wasted if not preserved, In Victoria no shoulders are preserved. They are sold to the Meat Preserving Company, at Id per pound, and as trade expands (no doubt it will do so) it will be found that the bhod and offal can be converted, by means of machinery, into rich and almost inodorous manures, which can be sold' at <i handsome profit. It is absolutely necessary that the railway should be connected with the works, and that the trucks should be loaded in.the building. If the works are within from 20 to 30 miles of port, a depot there would not be needed, as the meat could be carried direct from the trucks to the ship," He adds—'•The total cost of the undertaking can only be approximated till the site has been determined on; but the necessary buildings—of the extent and construction he indicates, and including two freezing-machines, boilers, boiler house and machine / rooms, chimney and slaughter yards —will cost about £7OO. If two No. 1 maohines or one No, 2 machine is thought to be sufficient, about £6OOO would' oover the cost of the necessary buildings and plant."

Ouu correspondent,!]] the Whareama district, in a recent communication, wrote as follows:—"The ofllcers connected with Iho sheep ddpartmont are particularly aotive in travelling the district just now, \t is a common occurrence for three of- them- - during a week to visit a station; While; on this' subject I may state that there are •it good many-comments adverse tirMrln l : specter : < Sutton, re the indiscriminate' manner, in which he has issued herding and yarding orders under the Sheep Act. Doubtless it would have been more judicious if Mr Sutton had personally ' made himself acquainted with the various station'properties,, as to how they were fenced, olc., before proceeding to an extreme, and, in many casos, what may prove a vexatious course. It is the opinion of many persons that the stringent enforcement of clause 45 re negligently, allowing sheep, to stray, would have done more practical good thnn warrants to herd aiid yard, which, from the manner they have been issued, may or may not be legal, The orders issued to settlers to remove sheep from tho Crown lands is an innovation ; possibly it is tho thin edge of the wedge to make owners of property adjacent fence, but as many of the boundaries are unsurveyed it may prove a mere " brutum fulmen." We have made some inquiries as to the object for which this indiscriminate order to herd was issued,, and we learn that it was necessary to enable the Inspector to legally enforce clause 45, relating to stray sheep. Tho order is necessarily a general one, but tho Inspector, of course, can exercise discrimination in only enforcing its observance as far us may be essential to enable him to deal thoroughly with the evil of stray sheou. Mr Sutton is an experienced officer, who has issued similar orders in other parts of the colony, and probably is well aware as to the extent to which it is his duty to carry them out,

Messrs Gattscjia & Parsons though the youngest browing firm in the Wairarapa, liavo recently been giving, by their enterprise, a decided lead lo their business rivals. They have just completed the erection of a commodious malt-house, in conjunction with their well known brewery, and to-day the local industry of malting will practically be commenced for the first time in the district. As many of our readers are probably unfamiliar with the process of malting, we will briefly explain it. The first thing of course is to get the barley, and Messrs Gattscha and Parsons made provision for this want by supplying farmers who cared to grow the 11 monarch gralu," with seed- Last season many farmers in this neighborhood including Messrs Vile, Chamberlain, Perry, Cavo &c, reaped a crop of barley, Mr Kompton, Jun., of Greytown, did the same, and the brewery is consequently well supplied with Wairarapa grown barley, of an admittedly superior charactor. 'The first process in malting is steeping, and Messrs Gattscha and Parsons have constructed a cistern for this purposo lined with concrete, capable of holding some 50 bushels of grain, The barley is steeped in this receptaoio for some 48 hours, and when taken out weighs about 50 per cent move than when it is put in. It is then spread on the malt lloor, which in the premises we refer to, covers almost the wholo of the ground area of the building, and is laid with concrete. To the uninitiated it appears vory like a sublime skating rink, The steeped grain is spread over this floor to the depth of fee or four inches, where it soon begins to gov minute. This procoss of germination takes about a fortnight to accomplish, the grain being turned three or four times a day. The 'next 'process consists in arresting the progress of germination by heat, For this purpose Messrs Gattscha and Parsons have constructed a kiln, the floor of which is lined with proper bricks imported from England, which ape perforated with nrinuto holes, through which the heat passes from a furnace below, in which coke or smokeless coal is burnt. It is dried in this fiishon for some two days, and then after somo minor cleaning processes, if is ready for grinding The special feature of the Masterton Malt House is its convenient arrangement _for securing a maximum result with a mini? mum of labor. This is in a groat measure due to the fact that the senior partner of the firm is a practical malster, and also possesses considerable mechanical skill. This, with a liberal outlay of money, with a view to soourc the best material and appliances, makos the malt liou.se a model of its kind, The next improvement contemplated by this firm is to secure water from the celebratod never failing spring, which is found on a ridge about a quarter of a milo away, and which is known to all old settlers as the purest and finest water in the district. The brewery is to be connected with this natural fount by iron piping,and a perennial supply of the best raw material will be thereby attained. We wish Messrs Gattscha and Parsons all the success their enterprise deserves, and are glad to see a new and regular- customer for farm produce established in this town.

The barque Arabolla, from England, has arrived at Wellington. The Feathorston Debating Society meets at the Royal Hotel this evening.

Humo's station in the Lower Valley. The Wellington Football Club has dial longed a Masterton team for a friendly match on Saturday next, As the local Club has already made arrangements for that day, the offer of the Wellington Club will probably have to bo accepted for a later date,

Mr Swan, sen., has met with a severe accident, which at his time of life is doubly serious. He was driving a cart through the bush to his house, when it caught In a stump, and threw him out, the wheel passing over and breaking his leg and arm. The sufferer is one of tho early settlers in tho district, and resides on the Taratahi, between Anderson's line and tho Cemetery road, about a mile back from the main road.

A grand concert and Soiree is announced for Whit Monday in the Town Hall, Masterton, in aid of the funds ,of t|fe Masterton Brass Band, under the patronage of tho Mayor and Borough Councillors, and the officers of the local Volunteer Corps.

A meeting of Ihe Olareville School Committee took place on Saturday evening, the 21st inst., at the schoolhouse. Presents-Messrs Corpe (Chairman), Vile, Francis, Bairstow, O, Goodin, and Burgess, The Chairman opened the meeting by reading the minutes of the last meeting, which consisted of one resolution, viz. —" Mr Goodin made some important remarks to the Chairman, and it was resolved on the motion of Mr Waldon, seconded by Mr Burgess, that the Committee call upon Mr Goodin to apologise to Mr Corpe, the Chairman, fur saying that the sum of money given by him for the purchase of the schoolground was not his ownj and a yote of thanks to the Chairman." The abqve resolution on the 14th of May was carried by the casting voto of the Chairman. On the minutes being read on Saturday last it was moved by Mr Vile, seconded by Mr Francis—That the minutes of the last meeting be not confirmed. An amendment was moved by Mr Bairstow, seconded by Mr Burgess-That the minutes bo confirmed. The amendment was carried by the casting vote of the Chairman. A 'desultory, conversation then took place for tho next halfhour as to what had really taken place at the last meeting, on which a difference of opinion seomed to exist between the members of the Committee, An account from Mr Barry for stationery, amounting to £5 is 5d w.as thpn passed for payment. The Treasurer reported the balance to the credit of the Committee at £1!) 13s lid. A long discussion then took place on the average attendance of children, and the roll-books of tlio school were brought out and inspected by several membors of the Committee. Fmm this it appeared that there were names on the roll, but the average attendance during tho last four weeks appeared to be 91.75. In reply to a question from Mr Francis, tho Chairman stated that ho was not aware that any children bad been expelled from the school fop bping under age, qut th,at he had told Mr Barry he must act on the instructions to that effect received from Wellington. Mr Goodin asked the Chairman how the school money was lodged in the bank. The Chairman refused to answer any question put by Mr Goodin, The latter goutleman wanted to know what tho Chairman meant to insinuate He had only put a question he was, as a Committeeman, entitled to ask, and if the Chairman would not answer him, he had better resign the chair. The Chairman said the money was in the Bank, and if they did pot believe him they could go and see. After some pather tall talking, it was resolved- "that Mr Barry bo directed to lay before every meeting of the Committee a statement showing the total number of children on the books and the daily average attendance." The meeting concluded by an expression of opinion by one of the Committee to the effect that having had a row at the last meeting they had merely been called there to confirm it, and that members should not be called from thojr hotnqs unless, there wa.s school business tg transact. Tjje customary vote of thanks to tI)P Chairman closed the meeting,

The Otpgo Witness, speaking of the proposed parcel-post within the oolony, sensibly says:—"No 'fixed' rates can succeed. In the case of letters it has been proved by elaborate calculations that the cost of carriage, even for distances up to 1000 miles, need not exceed onotwentieth of a penny, while the cost of collection and delivery at the terminal offices is ten times as great. In other words, jt costs as much, within a very small fraction, to deliver a letter within half a mile as it does within 1000 miles, so long as it does not pass over heavily subsidised lines, such as the San Franoisco mail route. In the ease of parcels it is different. Let us take a bag of sugar weighing 121b. It would pay very well to deliver this at Mosgiel (if posted at Dunedin) for Gd. If, however, it had to be dolivered, say, in Oliaupo, it would be saddled with wharfage and steamer dues', besides the railage from Auckland South, In this case fid would/ be too small a charge. Another objection to the proposed plan is that parcels could not practically be delivered at flag-stations at which there are no regular officials. Large consignments of goods are met by consignees with' drays, but no one could be expected to meet a train to receive a pair of boots or a pound of tobacco, Few persons are aware how many parcels aro sent out daily,.not only to privato customers, but even to the retail dealers up country. Tobacco, stationery, books, groceries of certain kinds, small ironmongery arid cutlery, seeds, drugs, and a host of other articles are continually sent, even at the variable .exorbitant rates now charged. When the rates, aro fixpd, moderate, and easily ascertained/before-, hand; we may antioipnto an enormous development of the .traffic. But we must repeat our conviction 'that the ■ service should be between post-office and postoffice, and into the charge made there should enter two elements, one, of weight and the other of distance."

The ostrich is gradually supplanting the sheep at the Cape, the supply of wool must consequently decrease, A Port Elizabeth leltet saysj-V' farm after farm in this provinoe is oleared of sheep to make room for ostriohea, now all the rage. One result of this was felt in town last week, when the butchers here issued a notice iliat the price of mutton would be raised from Gd to 7d per lb, 'on account of sheep farming being pushed aside by ostriches.' Ostrich farming is undoubtedly the most profitable of all farming, and recently several joint stock, companies have been started.
