 nearly all sections. 



The number of inoculated animals is now 53,303. ^'^ Of these 

 20,665 (38.7%) have reacted, while 32,638 (61.3%) have not 

 reacted. 



In the different provinces there appears to be a great difference 

 in the extent of the disease.

These numbers are still too small to give an exact view of the 

 extent of tuberculosis, but when we remember that former enumer- 

 ations gave results which agree with these, the figures have impor- 

 tance^*. 



Without doubt tuberculosis on Bornholm and Fiinen is much less 

 extended than on Seeland and Jutland. It is quite interesting to 

 note that this exactly agrees with the views which I presented years 

 ago on the basis of reports received from veterinarians. ^^ 



In order to do no injustice to Seeland and Jiitland it must be added 

 that a relatively greater number of large herds have been inoculated 

 than on Fiinen and Bornholm. The tuberculosis investigations have 

 fully established the earlier observations that the disease, as a rule, 

 is much more extended in large herds than in small ones. This 

 appears from the following table, in which the total number of 1,390 

 inoculated herds are separated into large and small, i. e., into those 

 of more than and those of less than 50 head respectively : 



13. Denmark has relatively a very large number of cattle. In 1893 this amounted 

 to 1,69(5,000 head among a population of 2,200,000. The country has something more 

 than 70,000 peasant farms and over 1,800 larger estates. 



14. Compare " La lutte centre la tuberculosis " page 14 (July, 1894) and page 49 

 (Feb., 1895). For Jiitland the figures are now more favorable and for Seeland less 

 favorable than at first.
