many; the export of butter in tins princi-
pally takes place to transatlantic and other
distant countries.
About 1920 Of the total export from Dairy
Farming, which represents a butter quantity
OF about So mill. ks. went to countries out

valent per centage for other countries only
amounted to about 49,.
Bacon.
There was exported in 1912 about 81 Mill.
kg. fresh pork. about 1193 mill. ky. Bacon
and about Q mill. ky. salted Pork in barrels,
in all 126 mill. ky. meat from pigs. In 1911
there was exported barely 1143, in 1910
barely 81, in 1909 95, in 1908 100 and in
1907 964 mill. ky. before that period 1904
was the maximum year with about 90 mill.
ky. In the latter two years the export of
bacon has greatly increased, in 1911 with
about Is ~ :, and i'll 1912 with about
II . ! In former years it was often the
case, that after q year of great increase in the
export the following year showed a decline,
but here we find two years of increase fol-
lowing close upon one another. The annual
average price in 1912 we have meanwhile
calculated with a rise of 5 : O and the to-
tai value of he bacon export will thus be
about 10 mill. Kr. greater than in 1911.
The principal quantity of the exported

close Of 1911 there began q comparatively
important rise in the export of fresh pork
and this export continued for the year 1912;
the export weight of fresh pork was in 1912
1911 and 1910 respectively 81, Ii, and
mill. ky, the former export of fresh pork was
principally sows and similar more c ,mmon
products, while the important Use is due to
more ordinary goods. The bacon export goes
entirely to England, of the fresh pork went
however to this country only about l mill.
the chief quantity going to Switzerland,
Germany and Holland. Whilst in 1911 only
d mill. ky. Bacon went 10 other coul tries
than Great Britain, we find that in 1912 =
II mill. ky. were exported to other couu-
tries. AS the export to Great Britain was
considerably less than the total export, and
as there at the same time was q decline in
the English import of American bacon from
the United States and Cunadu) this has pro-
badly helped to keep up the price level.

hearts, liver and plucks, somewhat over ST
mill. ky. quits and barely Il mill. ky. bellies.
With the exception of heads and toes the
quantity of these goods was larger than in
1911, and the prices obtained were generally
higher, so that also this branch of export
may be said to be rising us regards the total
export value.

scores in 1912 against 213 Mill. scores in
1911, 204 in 1910, somewhat over 10 in 1909
and somewhat over 81 in 1908. The export,
which for several years had fuctuated be-
tween the figures 10 &21 mill scores, Was
thus in 1912 at its lowest, whilst Being at It's
highest in 1911. The decline falls to the
first 6 months and particularly the cold wiz
ter and spring months Of 1912.
The export price for eggs rose in 1912
with about 7 Ore per score, which counter
balances some of the decline in quantity.
The decline in the export value Of eggs will
thus represent about II mill. Kr, About
So 9 Of the export went in 1912 to other
countries than Great Britain; to Germany
was exported comparatively more eggs than.

Cattle and Meat from Cattle.
