AGRICULTURAL BUILDING 9 they have had able leaders, and have been well supported. Among all others we must name the man who, at that time, was at the head of the above mentioned, experimental laboratory of the Veterinary and- Agri- cultural College, Mr. N. f. Fjord (1825-1891). A competent savant he has by thorough-going experiments examined every phenomenon of im- portance connected with the making of butter as, f. i., the influence of fodders on the produce of milk, the influence on the creaming of the use of ice refrigeration, the produce of butter with the different dairy systems; and- the conclusions he arrived at were, at once placed, at the disposal of the Danish dairies in small pamphlets, that were eagerly ashed, for, with the result that Danish butter is vow in greater demand, than any other in the market of the world; this is worth pointing out here, and the more so as unfortunately Danish agriculture participates in this Exposition to a very small extent only. The revolution in agriculture referred to above has not been re- stricted to the produce only in substituting butter and meat in the room, of breadstuff. It has also altered, the process of producing. The smaller farms finding it difficult to supply what is now wanted in the way of suitable room, machinery and rational supervision when the same first- rate brand of butter is continually to be supplied, a. number of »joint«, and- of »co-operative«. dairies have been formed, in which the milk produce of more farms is treated jointly. And. exactly in th'e same way a great number of »joint«, and »co-operative« pork butchering establishments have been formed, of late that change the swine of the agriculturers into a merchandise suitable for exportation, and in great demand. Danish agriculture is worked on entirely scientific principles, a fact which has made it yield an increasing profit to this country, as is seen from Hie steadily increasing enormous export of butler.
