THIS SEASON'S WORK.
The magnitude of the operations at these works can be understood when it is stated that from October, when. the killing started, up to the second week in, February, 5000 head of cattle had been treated. Since then about 2000 have been put through and the total value of the stock so troated, as it stood on the hooks in the works, was probably in the region of £21.000. In ordinary seasons the works shut down In June but this year, with the improvements that were In progress, Jt was intended to carry on throughout the twelve months. It was expected that the new department (for the treatment of the stock that would not pass as prime frozen, and which would have been sent Home as "boned" and "canned") would have been ready in June. Instead, a complete disorganisation has occurred.
