Butter from Is. 6d. to 2^. per pound, according to the season of the year. The sale of fresh milk, which is a very profitable busi- ness near towns, is of course limited to the populous neighbourhoods alone. Dairy farming requires more constant atten- tion than either sheep or cattle farming. In fact the life at a dairy station very much re- sembles the same mode of life at a Idixge dairy farm in England. There is however this ad- vantage in favour of New Zealand, that an extent of pasturage ca...pable of supporting a large herd, of say 80 or 100 cows, can be leased at an almost nominal rent from the Government — and the herd requires nothing further than the wild grasses of the country for their support during the entire year. HORSE BREEDING. 237 A dairy is, undoubtedly, a more interesting, and, generally, a more prettily situated home- stead than a sheep station, which ought not to be placed near swampy districts, and where there is low underwood to catch the fleeces of the- sheep ; while cows thrive and fatten on the rank vegetation in marshy places and in the neighbourhood of woods.
