AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A train traveller listens in on a conversation between a commercial traveller and a farmer. The farmer wants to buy cows that give five percent butter fat and the salesman says that, in order to keep the breed pure, choose either Illawarras or Jerseys but not to mix the breeds. The train traveller is later amused to see the salesman get off the train to join his Japanese wife on the platform.
