Danish Dairying.
“AMAZINGLY EFFICIENT.” Some comments on dairying in Denmark were made by Mr. N. P. Adams, of Wharekawa, near Clevedon, who returned to Auckland by the Rangitata recently. Mr. Adams paid a fortnight's visit to Denmark to study dairying methods. Mr. Adams said he had nothing but the greatest admiration for the manner in which the Danes organised their greatest industry. Machine milking in Denmark Avas practically unknown. Whole families milked by hand, and in cases where there were large herds, extra labour was engaged from nearby villages for morning and evening milking. Nor was there any home separation, Mr. Adams continued. The milk supply was sent to the factories, where it was graded and separated, while the skim milk was subsequently returned to the farms for use in pig feeding. Conditions in New Zealand and Denmark certainly differed, but Danish methods were amazingly efficient, and appeared to have a marked bearing on the quality of the butter produced.
