CATTLE«BREEDING IN DENMARK. 
to this information. It has a great influence on the prices paid for the 
bull. Here, in Jutland, the bulls of dairy type are judged from three 
different points:—(1) The animal itself; (2) the record of — his 
female ancestors; (3) the pedigree. 
The following table shows the increase in live stock from 1861 to

In 1914, Denmark exported 644,000,000 kr. worth of live stock 
products, 39,000,000 kr. worth of other agricultural products; and 
97,000,000 kr. worth of all other products (not agricultural). The 
total export in 1914 amounted to 780,000,000 kr., of which 82.6 per 
cent. were for live stock products, 5 per cent. for other agricultural 
products, and only 12.4 per cent. for all other kinds of Danish products 
exported in the year 1914. The export from Denmark depends almost 
entirely upon the live stock products. This industry, in the years 
before the war, was the main factor in the Danish commercial life; 
and we believe that the live stock in the coming years will also be of 
great value all over the world.
