AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES. 717 



The experimental fields at Flahult, 8 miles south of Jonkoping, have a 

 total area of 200 acres, of which 50 acres are under cultivation, 75 acres 

 are unimproved marsh laud, 60 acres forest area, and 15 acres build- 

 ings, roads, etc. 



The Association receives an annual State appropriation of 10,000 

 crowns ($2,680), and grants from other sources, county boards, agricul- 

 tural societies, private parties, etc., aggregating about 25,000 crowns 

 more ($6,760). Its officers are a director, eugiueer, and 3 station 

 assistants (E. S. E., 8, p. 297). 



EXPERIMENT STATIONS IN DENMARK. 



In Denmark systematic studies of agricultural problems are pursued 

 at the experiment stations at Copenhagen and at Tystofte, as well as 

 by the Eoyal Danish Agricultural Society and a number of county 

 agricultural societies. 



Experiment Station at Copenhagen. — The history of this institution — 

 the Laboratory of the Eoyal Veterinary and Agricultural College for 

 Agricultural-Economic Experiments — has already been given by the 

 writer in the Eecord (E. S. E., 6, p. 585), to which article reference is 

 here made. The station publishes occasional bulletins (Beret ninger), 

 the 36th of which (Investigations of faults in the consistency of butter 

 and of the constitution of the fat globules of milk, by Prof. V. Storch) 

 has recently been noticed (E. S. B., 9, p. 176). The greater share of the 

 work done by the station has been connected with the dairy industry. 

 This station carries on the very important cooperative feeding experi- 

 ments with milch cows (E. S. E., 6, pp. 585, 657 ; 8, p. 255) and pigs 

 (E. S. E., 5, p. 428; 7, p. 242), series of which are conducted each win- 

 ter; also the permanent butter exhibitions (E. S. E., 5, p. 721; 7, p. 626; 

 8, p. 172), originated by Professor Fjord; and investigations on tuber- 

 culosis and its eradication in dairy animals. The tuberculin experi- 

 ments, conducted on a very extensive scale during the past 4 years, 

 are still in progress, and no official report of the same has yet been 

 published.

cows and pigs, and traveling expenses $9, 559
