FARMING COSTS
ENO L AND \S DIS ADVA NT AGE Reference to the relative costs of producing; dairy produce in New Zealand and Great Britain was made by Mr. Dynes Fulton at a social function held in Hamilton to welcome him homo from his recent tour abroad. Great Britain, had not a hope of producing dairy produce at anything like the cost maintained in New Zealand, said Mr. Fulton. Compared with those in tlie Dominion the: British farmers’ methods were crude. On the average English farm, with a capacity for 45 cows, there were as many as eight or 10 hands, and most of tlie milking was done by hand. Thousands of people at Homo ate very little butter and it was very expensive in the hotels.
