It gives the mast an unsightly appearanto, considerably lessening its value, and this fast gives importance to the discovery of Mr. A. H. Chapman, a New Zealand sheep-farmer, that the moisture is drawn from the surrounding atmosphere.. To prevent the sweating, he has invented a water proof covering for the thawing meat. It is claimed that carcases treated in this way could scarcely be told from those freshly killed, and frozen matton is expected to become more acceptable to the London Market.
