34 RURAL DENMARK 



in its proper place, I will not deal with it further 

 here. 



Mr. Pontoppidan seemed inclined to agree with 

 me that the Danish cows are kept too hot and not 

 allowed sufficient air-space. I may add he informed 

 me that he considered the sale value of his land to 

 be 800 kroner, or ^44, 6s. 8d. per tondeland say 

 ,33 per acre. This included " equipment," by which 

 I presume he meant buildings and other permanent 

 improvements. If I am correct in this conclusion, the 

 price about equals that of first-class agricultural land 

 in England at the present time.
