CHILLED MEAT.

♦ EXPERIMENTAL SHIPMENT. Experiments are vo be tried in W©l- | lington shortly with chilling beef, i states the ** Danneritke News,” and if these are successful the New Zealand product should be put on the London market in the same condition as Argeni true. Former attempts to chill New j Zealand beef have failed to last the | distance to London, but it is hope* that modern methods will prove more successful. The method of chilling to te adopted is known as the Linley process. Messrs Wedciol and Co.. Ltd., j have, for many years past, been in- ! ter ester] in the Linley process of chilSj ing meat, and this process is said to i have now been brought to perfection. | Considerable shipments have been made from South Africa, and from Aus tralia. and the meat is claimed to have turned out superior to anything under the American system. Messrs W. Wed del and Co.. Ltd., have undertaken to fit up a small chaimtu at the Meat Export Company’s works at Ngahpuranga. and it is suggested that the trial shipment should consist of--ICOO quarters, preferably hindquarters only. The firm has also arranged with. ! the shipping company to fit out a ! chamber on one of their fastest- oilj burning steamers, the s.s. Kent. Tf this beef shipment is successful, science will have done more for the producers than all the efforts of the politicians along the lines of tariff reform.
