BEEF—ROAST AND SMOKED.
Through the gaps in the walls many , quarters of. /beef, roasted or smoked as they hung on the. hooks, coul,d be seen. In store there were some 2000 quarters of beef, valued at . about £6000. At a time like the present, when food supplies have to be so carefully conserved if the soldiers at -the front are to be provided for, it is the more distressing to see this waste and ruin. If the carcases could be handled at the moment the great bulk of them could doubtless- be consumed, but it was stated to the writer by one of the managerial staff at'the works that there' was no hope of getting tho meat even to the Auckland market in time to save it. This means that six thousand pounds' worth of some of ; the best beef that this northern • district has fattened during the past few areeks will in a day or two be fit for nothing but the offal pot—to be boiled down for tallow and manure!
