THE FARM.
DAIRYING IN RENMARK. THE RULING CONDITIONS,. Whiie the country in. Denmark u* poor and low-lying', still it is in proportion easily the biggest butter-pro-ducing country in the world. A good deal of the feed is grown by artificial indans, and quite 50 per cent, of it is imported, principally from America, consisting of lins.eed and cottonseed. The cattle there are all housed, executing for a few months in thc summer, when they are tethered in the pastures, but never allowed to roam about the farms. They are led out by baiters, and tied to a small .stake, and are kept there until the grass is ea'en, when they are brought back again into the stalls. Their housing accommodation is wonderful. Most of the places consist of fine brick buildings with glass windows, propei' concrete noo>rs, ami drainage, and everything of the very best.
The farms generally range from 10 to 100 acres, and the prices vary from £BO to .£l2O an acre.
Thc cows are milked mostly twice a lay, but in the big herds they arc milked three times a day, and all milk is separated at the various factories around Copenhagen.
