The Chustohureh Telegraph says, re« fening to the abo\e :— lt seems somewhat snrpiising that the possibility of placing In m bs upon the English market in good condition was not one of the very eailiest expeiimcnts to be made. For it must be lemembeied that our lambs, unlike our sheep, can aiuve in England at a time when they have no competition, for the home hied animal will not make iU appeal .nice for many months. Consequently, the colonial lambs have th« maikets of Gieat Uiitain to themseUes. And we may reasonably expect that by (Aoicisiny judgment in timing the shipments, and pioper piecautions in tha piopaiatioa of the cai eases, the shippers of this kind of meat will be able to make laige piotits.
