NEW METHOD OF MEAT PRESS LIVING.
The editor of the Wanganv,i Herald was recently sho-^ '•■ forequarter of mutton which had i^ou treated to an altogether new preserving' process, and which lnd been hanging in a very close out-office for the past five days. The meat was found to be perfectly sweet, and a further test is to be made by sending a carcase as general cargo to Auckland and back by one of the steamers leaving fas- that port. The fact of the high temperature of the vessel's hold should be a good iest, and the result will be awaited with interest;. It is stated that the cost of preserving one hundred and fifty sheep would be about sixpdnce for that number-, and the time taken between fifteen find twenty minutes. The inventor claims that the meat will keep perfectly fresh for seven days, in the hottest weather or in the worst ventilated room it can bo placed iv. There can be no hesitation in stating thftt if thig invention proves a success it wiK he a grt-iit boon to the butchering trade and to the public generally, and it is proposed after the trial to* form a company to patent it throughout the world. It may be mentioned that the invention refers to the preserving of all kinds of animal food, and particularly fish.
