Turning bush into Butter!
It was an informal family photo.
The difference between this photo and the one on page nine was that the people on this photo are not standing still.
I can see the cows, the cat and the dogs.
The father and mother are milking cows.
This family is a Maori family.
The photographer was Edward George Child.

The hill in the background shows how forests were destroyed for farming.
