At present the area of production of butter js a stiip of country about "200 or "250 miles along the railway from the Urals to the Obi and thence to the Altai mountains, surrounding which tract aie vast stretches of country which a railv-ny would immediately add to the comparatively insignificant area now devoted to dairying. Exports of other cattle products are placed at £2.000,000 annually, and attempts have recently been made to introduce Siberian meat into England and Germany.
