THE TRIFOLIUM DAIRY 125 



tory where tests of butter, cheese, &c, are carried out 

 every day; the bath-rooms for the staff, and above 

 them the cooper's shop where the casks are manu- 

 factured. 



Such is a brief account of the most marvellous 

 place of its sort that I have seen in any land. I 

 can only say that its arrangements, organisation, and 

 scientific attention to detail filled me with wonder. 

 To see it alone would have been worth a visit to 

 Denmark, showing as it does what can be done by 

 intelligently directed co-operation. 



At Haslev, as in some other towns, I had the 

 advantage of a conversation with the editor of a local 

 paper on the subject of the State small-holdings. 

 This gentleman informed me that there were a number 

 of these holdings in the neighbourhood, and that the 

 good men among them did well, while those who were 

 inferior failed. He said that the latter often had 

 neither sufficient knowledge nor sufficient capital to 

 enable them to succeed, the result being that they 

 were obliged to give up and sell out to some one else. 

 Speaking generally, like most others whom I con- 

 sulted on the point, he was of opinion that to make 

 the movement really successful and to enable the 

 State small-holders to live and bring up a family, they 

 ought to have more capital and to work a larger area . 

 of land.
