Australia : The Dairy Country. 23 



As a general rule the landlord provides 



(a) The land cleared and fenced into convenient paddocks. 



(b) The dairy herd. 



(c) Cowbails and piggeries. 



(d) All necessary utensils and implements. 



(e) Dwelling. 



On the other hand, the tenant supplies 



(a) All the labour milks the cows, separates the cream and 



carts it to the nearest butter factory. 



(b) His own horse and cart. 



(c) Cultivates sufficient land to grow green fodder for the 



winter. 



In some instances the share farmer buys his own dairy utensils, 

 but in the greater number of cases the landowner provides them 

 and keeps them in repair. The sharing of the profits depends 

 largely upon the character of the farm.. As a general rule the tenant 

 receives from one-third to one-half of the proceeds of all cream 

 or butter sold. He also receives from one-third to one-half the 

 value of the pigs raised, and from $1.20 to $1.80 per head for each 

 calf reared to the age of six months. A man is generally given as 

 many cows to milk as he can conveniently manage and care for.
