ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(From Our London CoRREsroxr.ENT.)

London, December 21. Tho Frozen Meat Trade.

Wiikn I was at the Bank of New Zealand tho other day making inquiries about tho freezing apparatus to be sent to Auckland, Mr Lark worthy showed me a letter which tho Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency had received from Messrs Ward and Stimpson in answer to an inquiry as to the kind of mutton most suited for the London market. Ah this Rubjoct is one of great importance to meat shippers, I append tho substance of the letter. Messrs Ward and Stimpson, who are acknowledged to be tho greatest authorities in London on frozen meat, say : — "With legard to the best stylo of sheep (i.e., as to carcase) for our market, if reared in New Zealand wo should decidedly say that a cross be tween a Hampshire Down ram and a merino or cross-bred ewo would realise the best price at this centre. Such a sheep should woigh about 9* stone. The ewe might be a cross between a Lincoln and a merino, and even though much nearer to tho former than tholatter, weareof opinion that the progeny ( would command the highest price for 'colonial cheep in this market. Merino or crops-bred ewei, if crossed with Shropshire or Sussex Down rams, would certainly give nice quality, but when mr.de up to the weight most sought for here, viz., 9 to 9J stone, they would bo toe fat, and would lack tho flesh and muscle of tho former breed."

The " Tyneside Echo " recently contained the following article on the introduction of N.Z. meat into Newcastle :—" The first en deavour to introduce New Zealand fed and Ijred mutton into Nowcasllo is an event worthy of passing notice. The success of the American fresh meat trade with this country has led to many an experiment, and to theoutlayof much unremunerativc capital in the hope of discovering a way to preserve and import Australian and New Zealand frevh mutton into our market. More than one company of speculators have loudly proclaimed a solution of tho problem, but till now, from a commercial point of view, the schemes have resulted in heavy losses. Whether or no we are on the ove of a successful solution rcmuins to be seen, but we gladly note that fresh •frozen New Zealand mutton is on sale this day(lsth December) for the first time in Newcastle, at the shop of Mr Blenkinßop, in the Butcher Market. We have not had an opportunity of testing tho flavour of the mutton, but so far as looks go, there seems little difference petween the frozen carcases and the English-fed. By the freezing pro cess, the juices of the meat are prevented from permeating the carcases and giving to them the high colour to which so many good housewives object in American fresh meat. The flesh displayed by Mr Blenkin sop this morning is good in colour, and ii perfect condition. The fat is nicely aßsimi lated, and we are informed that when cooked the flavour is unimpeachable. In some of these points the Now Zealand meat has decided advan tages over the American. But what about tho price? Mutton can be obtained in large quantities and at nominal prices in New Zealand, but the cost of carriage and the other costs neces sary for the preservation of the carcasses total a sum which wo are informed precludes the idea of competition bo far as price goes with the American. In fact, in the present development of the New Zealand trade the dealers must ask something like the prices clu.l'ged by other butchers of English fresh meat, and «> long as that is the case, we nre afraid tho New Zealand business will languish. The success achieved, however, ought to make speculators hopeful of a speedy solution of the problem which has been ho energetically worked at since, and even before, the advent of the American fresh meat trade into England." ' I pr.id a visit the other day to what some of the London papers calf the " newly opened dopOt for the sale of New Zealand mutton," at London Bridge. The " depot" is, however, only a poultorer'a shop, and when I was there the stock of New Zealand mutton consisted, as far as I could see, of three or four hind-quarters, which looked stale, dirty, and far from prepossessing. After this sight, I was not surprised when the shopman to]fl me the meat did not have a very ready sale. The prices were 74d per lb. for fore-quarters, and BJd for hind quarters. A firm of engineers at Stockport are now prepiring a l'reezing-engine which will be capable of freezing 1,200 tons space, and whiph can also be used for the manufacture of ica. It is a new engine, patented by a Mr Chambers.X!lf the machine turn out a success, a similar one will probably be ordered for the Auckland Refrigerating Company,

Australasian Agriculture.

The best testimony to the value of the work which Consul Griffin is doing for New Zea land is the frequenoy with which the piesfi of the colony find facts that are new and interesting even to Hew Zealanders. In a paper on "Australasian Agriculture " pub lished in the " Consular Reports " for Sep tember, theagricultureofNewZealandis com pared with that of other colonies. These statistics, as vre have before shown, bring out results that are most favourable to New Zealand. In ISB3, the average produce per aero of wheat was : Victoria, 9.40 bushels ; New South Wales, 14.69 bushels; Queens land, 8.41 bushels; South Australia, 4.57 bushels ; Western Australia, 7 bushels ; total Australia, 6.96 buehels; Tasmania, 18.88 bushels; New Zealand, . 22.69 bushels ; total Australasia, 8.84 bushels. In England the average is 26£ bushels per acre. Mr Griffin, in commenting upon the above fact, says:—"Theproduc tion of wheat in France is 16.2 bushels per acre; in Saxony, 22.5; Belgium, 26.2; while in Russia it is as low as 5.5 bushels. The figures I have given are sufficient to show the proud position New Zealand occu pies in wheat production per acre; still I must mention that farming is done here on the rotation plan bo universally practised in England. Besides changing the crops every year or allowing the land to rest, the farmers of New Zealand import annually about 5,000 tons of bonednst and 2,000 tons of guano for the purpose pf enriching the soil In all tho crops thesuperiority of New Zealand to the other Australasian colonies is conspicuouH, The mean average of the seven years in New Zealand for oats was 33.42 bushels to the acre, while Victoria gave 19.57 bushels, New South Wales, 16.44, and South Australia 13.07. The average of potatoes to the acre was: in New Zealand, 5.13 tons; in Victoria, 3.27 tons ;in New South Wales, 2.96 tons; in Queensland, 2.45 tons ;in Soutli Australia, 3.35 tons, In this connection I will mention that New Zealand oats have won great reputation in European markets on account of their superior quality. It is perhaps not generally known that there is a very great difference in the quality of this Kind of grain, and that much depends on the weight per bushel. While One bushel of oats will weigh only 24 pounds, another bushel will weigh 4S pounds. It is seldom that New Zealand oats, nnd especially those grown in the North Island and in the northern part of the South Island, weigh less than from 40 to 48 pounds per bushel. It will be well'enough for the New Zealand farmer not to lose sight of the extra weight of his oats, for it is the custom in European markets to buy by the quantity and to sell by weight. The quantity of wheat grown in New Zealand is also worthy of praise. There are several varieties peculiar to the colony, and which have been succes»fully introduced into Viotoria, Now South Wales, and South Australia, among which I shall mention the celebrated New Zealand Sharman wheat. This variety ia a bearded wheat, freo from red rust and smut, and yields a small but plump grain. It has a thin, hard, wiry straw of a peculiar bright ness, about 3 feet 4 inches in height, bearing heads from 3 inches to 4 inches in length, and containing from 50 to 60 grains each. Dr. Schomburgh, who is an authority on agriculture in Australasia, classes the Shar man wheat along with tho celebrated American brands, the Defiance and Cham plain.'" With regard to the average cost of grow ing wheat, Mr Griflin says it is being re duced every year by the introduction of machinery, mostly of American manufacture; On Ellis Brothers' estate, Southland, last year, the total cost of growing and putting the grain aboard ship was 92 cents (3s lOd) per bushel. In harvesting this crop, seven of McCormick's reapers and binders were kept running day' and night, and cut on an average 140 acres per day, or an average of 20 acres to each reaper. There are 167,800 persons engaged in agricultural pursuits in Australasia, of whom 54,468 reside in New Zealand. Mr Griffin has not formed a favourable opinion of the mode of shipping grain here. It compares' badly, he 'says, with that adopted in the United States:—"lt is in deed deplorable to witness the vast amount of labour,' to' say nothing of the great length' of time, spent over the transporta tion of grain from the farm to tho ship. The. sacks, in tho first place, are too large an^ioavWeachsackQontainintMyjii|h^^

ease. In putting the sacks on and off tli3 trucks, and in the hold of the ship, tho men ars obliged to use hooks, which of course do great harm. If the American system were adopted much time would bo saved which is now lost in tho old-fashioned and tedious method of weighing the grain. Tho farmer is at present paid for the weM,t of his gram per bushel; 'wheat at 60 pounds per bushel, barley 50 pounds, and oats 40 pounds per bushel. If the grain were put in 100-pound sacks at the machine, as in the United States, he would know how much grain.he had ag soon as the last cental left his farm, whereas now he has to wait several days for his grain to bo dis charged and wtighed. The European im porters are constantly drawing compari sons favourable to the manner in which grain is shipped in the United States, as against that practised in the M Australasian ports. It is no exaggerating to say that it tekea about as ma°nf wel'lM here as it would days in the Vnited Z ! 11 to load a ihipmth (rain. Whin the Sgl increase, which they are very jK H to do in the near future, the dii 1 advantages of the present system will b 1 come so patent that the people, it is hone!" will be forced to make the change " ' A consideration of these observation. may be productive of benefit to our families B and grain merchants. tl

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Statll Dear Sir-I wlbli to add my testimony to th» i efficacy of the great German remedy.SUaooS ' % Oil.

My sleep atlast bef,-an tobo affected. ' and my whole system very much reduced. Thn '""'""■ most careful treatment failed to. give me relict a and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located ' in my loft thigh, and the painat's times was most excruciating. In Bpito of tha .v most thorough applications, and the (mat- '-' ost care and attention on my part, I ob- "^ tamed no appreciable relief, and at last as s •-¥ forlorn hope, I determined to apply St,;Jacofor !? Oil, and from that time tho pain began tmH diminish. My sleep soon returned, ana each application afforded me relief. At first Ire 3 parried tho cessation from pain as only a $ temporary one, scarcely daring to none 'S that the cure was complete; but I have I gratefully to acknowledge that I am now '*4 free from pain—in fact, a man again, I -7> must confess that I tried the Oil in aW ■'4 lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or ?-• four nights previously, and my system was very 11 low. The success, however, is complete, and HB again tender my grateful acknowledgments to >■''-•* the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue - to recommend it to every sufferer who cornea m within range of my influence. What medical ivi skill failed to do Bt. Jacob's Oil effected, and I -i il regard it as the greatest boon of tho age. I am, dear Sir.
