DENMARK's DESERTED FARMS

New England. ..zss1A;

The Howard association has pub.
hshed an interesting leafet, entitled:
Back to the Land-Denmark's Elk.
ample" In that country, says Lon.
don Truth, there is an exodus of the
population Of the towns back to the
land. Partly by state aid, and partly
by private enterprise, 1000 square
miles of waste land have been re-
claimed, and fve~eighths of the ma,
tional territory is possessed by. small
freeholders and peasants. Above a
hundred peoples high schools have
been established, where peasantry and
working classes of ages from 10 to
rs get board and education for los.
per week. The Danish farmers have
formed cooperative societies for the
collection, sale and export of their
produce. Danish university. and col
lege students have Instituted through
out the rural districts free lectures,
evening lessons, and committees for
prom citing popular amusements. In
almost every village a public hall
has been erected for recreation and
social gatherings. In villages where
the high school has obtained inf1u-
ence, neither drinking, gambling, nor
gross breaches of morals are to be
met with; yet the villagers are fond
of games, dancing, sports and other
recreations.
And what is the result? Denmark
has become the second country in the
world in regard to average wealth
per head, although there are few
very rich men. She annually supplies
the British market with more than
100000 hundredweight of butter and
the same amount of bacon, about
2o0,000,O0o eggs, and scores of thou
sands of pigs, cattle and horses.
Surely we might take example by
this. This produce might equally well
be brought into existence in Eng
land. But it never will be, SO long
as our wretched system of education
prevails in villages, so long as. vii
layers are divorced from all property
in land, and so long as village life re-
mains the dull, dreary thing it is.
Let anyone only consider what might
have been done for the rural popu-
lation at home with the & 100000, 600
that have been spent in relieving the
oppressed millionaires in the Trans
