Intelligent Danish Farming.

G. A. Gigault, Assistant Commits
sioner of Agriculture for Canada, has
been investigating farming abroad.
Here is an account Of his examina-
ton of Danish agricultural methods:
The people Of Denmark are all edu-
Gated, and the most intelligent meth
DDS Of farming are followed. The
Danish farmers understand that dairy
ing is not only directly profitable, but
that it supplies them with abundance
of manure, which enables them to full
fill the law of restitution. In the
Danish farmyard the soil is imperme-
able. Round each heap a trench is
dug. Into this the liquid manure runs
and is thence conveyed to the LIQUID
manure tank.
No farm in Denmark is without it's
liquid manure tank. Mr.. Gigault saw
one farm Of six and a quarter acres SO
provided. The yield of wheat in Den
mark is thirty to forty bushels per
acre. This is very large. The ex-
PLANTATION is Civ III that, after Ireland
Denmark has the largest number of
head Of cattle per square mile. This
AAouASo pNCAHly VI ACaAulC, WMCI1 Keeps
up the fertility. Besides, the Danish
soil contains a large quantity of lime,
which is considered a very important
constituent. Many agriculturlsts hold
that cow, to give milk, must have.
in the daily allowance Of water, two
ounces of phosphate of lime.
The dissenlina tion of agricultural
knowledge was the cause of the ex.
cellence of the Danish farming sys-
tenn. Another thing noticeable in
Denmark was the excellence Of the
public roads. which provided the farm
err with very necessary means Of
transport, enabling him to bring his
goods direct to the large centers.
where he could dispose Of his produce
without having to employ an inter-
meliary. Mr.. Gigault had not found
Belgium or France so far advanced In
agricultural methods as Denmark.
Mr.. Gigault pointed out how the
success Of the Danish agriculturists
was in part due to their educational
system. In the Danish agricultural
school lessons of patriotism were not
neglected AMI the students were
taught to love their country. Mr.. Gil
gault had once asked a Danish farm
err, who had complained to him Of the
DEAFNESS Of land aud other drawbacks.
