The world's meat futureAn account of the live stock position and meat prospects of all leading stock countries of the world, with full lists of freezing works . iments—and who is now dead—wasnot able to carry them on himself, and distributed his smallflock amongst the military and other Government officials ofthe various surrounding stations. There they multiplied, andwere appreciated on account of the superior meat they providedthe mess with, but systematic bi-eeding was discontinued,and no record kept of the crosses. What I have seen of these small flocks goes to show, however,,that improvement in the wool can be rapidly secured, but alsothat with indiscriminate breeding there can be an equally rapid MADAGASCAR 183 reversion to the native type. I have seen in these flocks sheepwhich I was told were crossbred, but which I certainly wouldhave taken for pure native. I tried at first hand-serving, and kept the rams separate fromthe flock. I found, however, that this was very slow work, andthat the ewes were somewhat terrified by their unaccustomedmates. I am, therefore, now letting the rams and ewes runtogether, and breeding proceeds iSulSSO-N-NAIS AND KA-US. Held together by Tanosy shepherd. *Summarising, I think that there are excellent prospects inthis country. The land difficulty may make it necessary toadopt another system than in Australia. In fact, I am nowconsidering a scheme for working hand in hand with thenative—I providing the rams and they the ewes and the pastureunder their own supervision. I would thus limit myself to thebreeding of stud rams, for which sufficient land can be or some other method must be evolved for getting roundthe land difficulty, as this country appears to have great pos-sibilities for wool-growing, althcmgh, as far as I know, it doesnot so far export one bale or even 1 lb. of wool.
