With reference to the pens of fat sheep suitable fnr freezing pnrposesffthe Freezing Company's [special prize) exhibited at the late Agricultural Show the first prize pen, five in number, belonging to Gno. A. Kiinciniaii, and the second prize pen, 25 in number, belonging to the Auckland Agricultural Company, have been slaughtered and frozen by the Company. The New Zealand ;Land Association's, exhibit for which there was no award, have also been similarly treated These sheep are equally good in quality but of greater weight, averaging It is thought by many that though over the regulation freezing weight the New Zealand Land Association sheep will fetch as much per pound in the London market as the first and second prizti exhibits of Mr Runcitnnn and the Auckland Agricultural Com pay, which weigh respectively GO and 701b. This i» on ace rant of the quality being of the l> iwn breed. Mr \V. J. Caverliil), manager of the Freezing Company, intends to get a special report from the Home vendors as to the suitability of the three shipments and when it comes will prove interesting to sheep breeders and others. It is safe to say that for prime quality the sheen could scarcely be improved upon.
