An interesting article in the Mime
sofa Dairyman tells now the Danes
have made their country famous in the
dairying industry. Unlike our country
here their land was poorly suited to
grazing and with agriculture their only
means of living the wealth per capita
of Denmark is O mex to that of Eng

has worked on a farm for five years who
is poor and who has a character so good
that two reputable members of his COM
munity will certify to it, may obtain
from one of the banks there a loan of
over ST. 500. He gives no security, but
obtains it solely on his character. By
their system of practical education the
Danes were taught how to keep their
soil fertilized and in a good state of az
riculture. Realizing that the small
farmer is practically nothing as an. in

farmer buys + sells nothing individual

government furnishes scientific experts
who visit the farms every is days and
answers all questions as to the rotation
of crops. the amount of butterfat q COW
should produce. etc. For this service
the farmer pays 80 cents yearly per cow
and the government pays the rest of the
