The farm 1h Judged by the value of Its produc tion for, let us say, at least ivven years In hard corn, which represents Its ability to subtaln dairy cattle and hogs.

He.UBCB no Heeds till they have been tested by the experts furnished by the co-op erative society.

He never kills hla own hogs. though there are 500 hoKtf to every 1.000 persons In Denmark, but sends them to the co-operative bacon fac tories, which were founded some time In the 80s when Germany re fused the Danish hog because of an outbreak of swine fever.

In order to make dairying possible the Danes had to regenerate the land exhaust ed by the lack of aclentlfio treat ment.
