MEAT-PRESERVING.
[Per Press Association.]
SYDNEY, August fi,
An important invention has been perfected for preserving meat. The process is simple and inexpensive. The meat retains its appearance and, it is said, its quality. Several joints preserved on 2nd May kept their sweetness and juiciness, and, to the non-professional eye, looked almost as fresh as meat killed a couple of days previously. If the process realises reasonable expectations it will revolutionise the dead meat export trade. A side of mutton has been sent to China to be tested on return, and meanwhile its fellow side has been retained in Sydney. The latter at present appears to be in excellent condition A lot of the meat has been f awarded to Tahiti. It is claimed that 1,000 carcasses can be preserved for a few shillings, and an obvious advantage is that as soon as discharged from a steamer the joints can be cut and hung for, it is averred, almost any length of time.
