NEARING THE END.
FREEZING SEASON. The end of the freezing season has come in the case of most of the South Island works. The tTiree Canterbury concerns New Zealand Refrigerating Company (Islington), Canterbury Frozen Meat Company (Belfast), and Thomas Borthwick and Sons (Belfast) will close on July 4. Locally there is not so clean a break in the season, as the bobby calf industry, and the killing of pigs, with a percentage of boner beef cattle, fill in the gap when lamb and isheep business has either ceased or been reduced to a minimum. According to the Cbristehurch "Times" the killing of lambs in the South hae been an increase on the record of last year, and although a large quantity of mutton has been going to the works during the past three weeks, there is a shortage on last season's production. Locally the killings of lamb have been very heavy, and the final figures will probable establish a new record.
