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.
