Many advantages will be derived from the in

markets. 1t is obvious that in hot climate it
has been difficult TO keep the meat fresh any con-
siderable length OF time. With the installation
OF the machinery it is believed d great change
will be brought about.
One Of the benefits to be derived will be that
fresh beef en- be frozen and shipped by rail to
remote garTlsonS or to the firing line for the use
Of the troops. Another very material advantage
will be the manufacture OF ice, which will be
used in the Government hospitals at Msuila to
