354 Report on the Agriculture of Denmark, toith a Note on 
The average crop of the last five years by this method is thus 
42 bushels instead of 46^j ; but if there had been small acreages 
of kinds of grain which yield relatively heavy crops (such as 
oats and barley) instead of large ones, the difference of result 
would have been in the opposite direction. 
Ourupgaard contains 1385 acres, assessed at 137^ tender 
hard-corn ; so that on an average there are 10 acres of land to 
1 tbnde hard-corn ; and the rates and taxes amount, in the 
aggregate, to nearly 5s. Qd. per acre, or 55s. per tonde hard-corn. 
The expenditure for artificial manures in 1873 amounted to 
nearly 12s. 6f/. per acre, and that for feeding-stuffs to not quite 
10s. per acre. Putting together all the items that can be 
reckoned as labour-expenses, including the dairy, board of ser- 
vants, tradesmen's bills, and wages, they bring the total cost of 
labour up to rather more than 50s. per acre.

In the year 1873, Mr. Tesdorpf's sales from the Ourupgaard 
farm amounted to 76,100 rixdalers, or 6Z. 2s. per acre ; while • 
the payments reached the sum of 55,366 rixdalers, or nearly 
4Z. 9s. per acre, leaving \l. 13s. per acre to cover rent, interest 
of capital, and farmer's profit. Professor Wilson, in his Report 
upon the Aarhuus Exhibition, gives the gross receipts for this 
larm in 1865 as 58,750 rixdalers, which (supposing the acreage 
to have been the same) is equal to 4Z. 14s. Qd. per acre, and the 
expenses as 38,636 rixdalers, which comes to 3/. 2s. 3rf. per 
acre, thus leaving a gross profit of 1/. 12s. 3c?. He observes,
