 one or two energetic and capable girls, 

 provided they have had a thorough training in 

 dairy work, should not take up this work 

 and make a good and pleasant livelihood. If

 amount of capital would, of course, be 

 required to start with, but for the kind of 

 place meant a small cottage and land 

 enough for four or five cows the amount 

 would not be anything considerable. Where 

 the time and money can be spared a visit to 

 the farms and dairies of Normandy and 

 Brittany would be of incalculable benefit to 

 anyone thinking of taking up this branch of 

 dairy work.
