A good deal has been written of late (chiefly in

the Daily News) about a Berkshire farm and the salient success of its Danish owner, Mr. Hansen, who is well known as Chairman of the Danish Bacon Company, Ltd. He makes his 350 acres pay handsomely, by much the same methods as the Hert- fordshire small-holder. He grows grain for consumption on the farm, and this makes plentiful manuring cheap and even necessary. The heavier the herd of stock, the better the land is " clone.'4 Mr. Hansen is ardent for co-operation, and considers hii profits would be immensely higher if other farmers would believe him. He especially misses the oppor- tunity for buying skim-milk from a creamery. His fear is that co-operat ion can only come from a new race of young

farmers. * *
