Moutoa Notes.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) There is no doubt about it the country farmers are the most industrious and hard-working of all classes. Up in the morning from four or five o’clock milking their large herds of dairy cows, taking milk to the creamery, stumping, ploughing, cropping, harvesting and looking after things in general through the day till three or four o’clock in the afternoon when milking recommences, finishing up with feeding calves, horses, pigs etc. One cannot help thinking they must be giants in energy especially as some of them take a very great interest in social matters. The wonder is they can attend to the lattei at all considering the amount of work they get through during the day. It is rumoured that the creamery is to be shifted to a better site. Perhaps while they are about it, it might be just as well to place it in its new position a little further back from the main road. On a hot, close day for a quarter of a mile on either side of the building the odour is like a very long and powerful sniff of exceptionally vile Ammonia or worse.
