may lose colour, they remain good and sweet
much longer than English-killed meat.

The Company have large refrigerating stores under Cannon Street Station
capable of holding some 70,000 sheep, and have recently erected stores
of _treble that capacity_ at Nelson's Wharf, Commercial Road, Lambeth,
wherein the latest improvements both as regards construction and
refrigerating machinery have been adopted, in order to facilitate the
development of the frozen meat trade.

NELSON BROTHERS have also Branch Offices at--

15_a_, RICHMOND STREET, LIVERPOOL.
LEASE LANE, BIRMINGHAM.
LAWNS LANE, LEEDS.
THE ABATTOIRS, MANCHESTER.
BALTIC CHAMBERS, NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.
TRESILLIAN TERRACE, CARDIFF.

If any of our readers are anxious to try the meat, and are unable to
procure it, a postcard to the Head Office, 15, Dowgate Hill, London,
E.C., or to any of the Branch Offices, will at once put them in the way
of carrying out their desire.

As it occasionally happens that from want of some little precaution New
Zealand meat does not come to table in its best condition, we offer the
following hints for the treatment of it:

Frozen mutton, like that which is freshly killed, requires to be hung a
certain time--this is most essential to remember, otherwise the meat
eats hard and tough--and it is important to observe, both when hanging
and roasting, that it is so placed that the juice shall not run out of
the cut end. Hind-quarters, haunches, and legs should be hung with the
knuckle end downwards; loins and saddles by the flaps, thus giving them
a horizontal position. The meat in winter should be kept in the kitchen
some time before cooking, and after being exposed for a few minutes to a
rapid heat in order to seal up and keep the gravy in the joint, it
should be cooked rather slowly, thus taking a little more time than is
usually given to English meat.
