"The solid prosperity of Woodville at the present time," (writes a correspondent) "is due to the dairying industry. Within a radius of six miles of Woodville there are ten creameries and butter factories.

Formerly the settlers took the value of their butter in stores now they get ready cash. Land is changing hands at good prices, stock is high, and there is a general air of sound prosperity about the place which is certainly encouraging,"
