New Zealand Packed Up.

At another wharf a sister ship is loading for the 12,000 mile voyage to England. There, in carcases, crates, cases, boxes and bales, one sees the main swing of New Zealand's production. Gazing on those final expressions of farm life the onlooker's thought takes in numerous milkings of cows, and the traffic from sheds to dairy factories; musterings of sheep, shearing, fattening and the fatal trips of stock to meat-works; the various activities of the Department of Agriculture; meetings of farmers, all manner of resolutions and requests, deputations—a whirl and swirl of things rural and their repercussions—much movement on roads and railways — and here are the products, shipped in good hope of rising prices, if they are not already sold. Thus New Zealand goes out to the world, and the world in turn comes to New Zealand.
