The problem of what happens to the superannuated cows which every sale day appear in the yards appears to he solved. Speaking to a Levin Chronicle representative recently, Mr W. G. Sloman explained that his 2 700 head of poultry necessitated such large quantities of meat foods that he had installed a special boiling plant in which every week during the laying season he boiled five or six cows for this purpose. An eight-horse power boiler provides the power for the plant and from this steam pipes lead into iron vats in which the meat is placed, about eight horn's being required for the cooking. The bones, after being stripped of the meat, are used for fuel, the residue, which is practically pure phosphate of lime, being then crushed for grit for the fowls. —ls this a portrait of y.our fiancee?” “Yes.” 1 suppose she must be vpry wealthy.”
