pAIRYlNa IN DENMARK.

Professor Boeggild, a noted Danish
dairy expert, has recently been on
tour Of America and has given those
who have listened to his addresses
MANY interesting facts and impress
sions of the famous dairy country from
which he halls. While Denmark mas
but one-seventh the area Of the state
Of Minnesota, 1t has an equal num-
Der of cows-1, 100000. He states that
twenty-five years ago the average
Danish cow gave 5000 pounds of milk,
which yielded from so to 100 pounds
Of butter fat. This standard has Deen
raised by selection, testing and breed
ing until the average COW gives S,2oo
pounds of milk in a year, which con-
tains from 200 to 300 pounds OF but
ter fat. Along with this improvement
in the COWS of the kingdom there has
been a corresponding advance In the
prosperity of the farmers. thirty
years ago they were poor. deVotlng
most Of their energies to raising rye.
barley and oats and exporting them
in the rough. Today they import large
quantities of cereal foodstuffs and ex-
port millions of pounds Of the finest
butter. Prosperity today is general
among these same farmers or their
descendants A most important rae
tor in the large success which mas
been achieved in the Danish dairy
business has been the cooperative
creameries. The first, costing $2,OOO,
was started in 1882 with 300 COWS.
Today there are 1000 cooperative
concerns and 300 creameries which are
privately owned. Much of the success
attending these cooperative enter
prises Professor Boeggild attributes
to loyalty TO the organization, which
in turn he considers due to placing on
each individual member his full share
of responsibility tor the direction and
success of the enterprise.

antine instituted. The disease
doubtless originated from a newly
admitted patient. During the next
ten days eight patients and two
attendants showed more or less SYM
toms of the disease. None of them
became seriously ill, and at the
present writing, all are. convalescent.
No new cases have developed for two
weeks. The mildness of the dis
ease and the fact that. only ten out
of forty-five on that ward contracted
it, is doubtless due to the free and
persistent use of antitoxin. When
we consider that we have six humid
red patients in twenty different
wards with about 145 employees who
live at the hospital, and that the dis
ease, thus far, has been confined to
the ward where it originated, we
think we have reason to be pleased.
Obviously, it will be a month or
more before we can raise the quar-
antine on that ward, as we must wait
until we feel that there is little, if
any, danger of the development of
any new cases, and then we must
disinfect the ward, clothing and as
far as possible the person of each
and every patient and attendant.
When it is understood that this must
be done without the removal of the
occupants of the ward, it will be
readily seen that we have no easy
task before us.

An Art Criticism.

Art exhibitions, especially of paint
ings, have been so rare treat in
St. Johnsbury that the exhibition
of pictures by William ]. Kaula
and Lee Lufkin Kaula, at the
gallery of the Athenaeum last week,
was an event of more than usual in
terest.
These artists have their studio in
Boston, where they have principally
worked, but they have both studied
and painted extensively in Europe
and exhibited in Paris and all the
large cities of America. Mr.. Kaula
devotes himself largely to landscape
painting, and has spent two. very
long summers studying the varying
moods of the landscape in the v1cl-
nifty of ST. Johnsbury. He has found
in this beautiful country an inter-
esting variety of subjects, each Of
which depicts the beauty in its own
way, and has put down on canvas
many impressions of the glowing
hillsides, the brilliant sunny days,
the misty afternoon, and the windy
days of early autumn. This he has
done with the score brush of the
modern landscape painter, who
dares to put down just what he sees.
A Mural decoration in which he has
successfully conventionalized the
hills and trees, was charmingly COM
posed in three panels.
Mrs Kaula shows portraits and
figure compositions. There were two
life sized portraits, painted fearless
ly in full color, and filled with all
the life and charm of young girl
hood The figure compositions also
sparkled with color in the changeable
textures of old silk gowns as in the
pictures of THE Letter" and
1850" In another picture two
girls were trying to solve the marble
game The exhibition closed Sat
urday, October IA.
