Freezing Process.

Being like Great Britain an island—or rather two islands, and not very large ones—no place is very far from the sea, and as there are plenty of railroads running to good safe ports, there is no difficulty in sending produce to market. Of course in a country with so few inhabitants, and a productive soil, we grow far more than we can eat. At first wool was almost the only article that could be exported. Sheep were boiled down for their tallow, which was shipped to England. The invention of the freezing process, by which mutton can be shipped in New Zealand, and landed as fresh in England as the day it was shipped, has altered all that.
