IMMATURE VEAL.
Sir, —I have spent some years in the back blocks of the VVairarapa, and we used to kill the new-born calves and drop them into a copper to boil up for • the pigs. This seems nasty enough without keeping the poor brutes alive for a couple of days without food and then putting them up for human consumption. New Zealand trade will gain nothing by putting such stuff on the market. What we want is to make a name for excellence, as others have done. Fancy New Zealand being known, instead of "like Denmark for excellent tinned butter, as the place where newborn veal is packed. It sounds like Chicago, Hertford.
