of cheap butter and) tliat takes the place of the finer Danish butter. That 

 is quite true. That is' what Mr. Johnson is driving at. You must re- 

 member the Danish farmers are working a high priced land; they pay 

 freight on your corn from Illinlois, and have got to compete with you. 

 They have got to be economical; they have got to eat cheap butter. They 

 €at lard flavored a little; they eat butterine, but they eat it under its 

 own name. They have to sell oleomargarine in open packages nO' mat- 

 ter whether 60i pounds, or 10 pounds, or 1 pound. It has got to be open 

 and oval; it cannot be round or square. They are allowed to have a very 

 light color; pretty near the color of a telegram blank. It is too true 

 Ihat the Danish farmers have got to be economical, and it is true that we 

 eat more butter. 



Prof. Henry : Tho&e farmer s are buying feed from' Illinois and turn- 

 ing it into butter and shipping it to Liverpool and London markets for 

 sale. I don't want to give things one-sided. I present facts a& they are. 

 I don't say you can compare Denmark and America. 3.00' agricultural 

 product to America, 1.00 per capita after deducting the whole butter ex- 

 port of Denmark, she still sells- more agricultural products than Amer- 

 ica altogether. Then she has four persons- on every acre of land to the 

 State of Wisconsin one. I don't say you can compare everything, but 

 these facts I say will stand. 



Mr. Johnson: About that cow whose butter cost .78; one cost 

 .15 and> the other .78; what kind of a cow was the .78 cow? 



Mr. Monrad: A mighty poor cow. She went to the butcher pretty 

 quick, I tell you that. I think seriously the cows of our western farmers 

 they have too much land.
