REPORT OF THE SCOTTISH COMMISSION 



paying all expenses a balance of £361, 28. 2d., representing butter 

 used in the house, colonial wares — which means such articles as 

 tea, sugar, coffee, etc. — family's subsistence, and surplus for his 

 work and his profit. 



The Danish farmer, large and small, owes nothing of his 

 prosperity to freedom from rates and taxes. From an examination 

 of the balance-sheets of four farms, ranging in extent from 8f acres 

 to 290 acres, it appears that the State and Communal taxes of 

 Denmark work out to an average of from 8 shillings to 9 shillings 

 per acre.
