According to the census of 1895,as we have seen, the total number of farmers in Denmark is265,982; and the livestock census of July 15, 1898, putsthe total number of farmers at 278,673. In relation to thisactual total number of farmers, the 58,766 well-to-do andrich farmers represent only 21.1 per cent, i.e., only onefifth.The number of “farmers” who own no land is 12.4per cent of the total number of farmers in Denmark (1895:32,946 out of 265,982), while the farmers who own nolivestock* represent 35.1 per cent of the total number offarmers in Denmark, i.e., more than one-third (1898: 98,032out of 278,673). One call judge from this the “socialism” ofgentlemen of the David type who fail to see that the capitalistprosperity of Danish agriculture is based on the massAgriculture and Livestock Farming in DenmarkGroups of farmsNumberof farmsPer centHectaresPer centHorsesPer centCowsOwning no land 13,435 4.8 -- -- 1,970 0.5 3,707Amount of landunknown 45,896 16.5 ? ? 28,909 6.4 28,072Up to 2.5 ha 80,582 28.9 55,272 1.5 24,540 5.5 66,1712.5 to 10 ” 63,420 22.8 323,430 8.9 54,900 12.2 175,18210 to 40 ” 45,519 16.3 984,983 27.0 133,793 29.8 303,24440 to 120 ” 27,620 9.9 1,692,285 46.4 168,410 37.5 361,669120 ha andover 2,201 0.8 588,318 16.2 36,807 8.1 129,220Total 278,673 100.0 3,644,288 100.0 449,329 100.0 1,067,265Note: The figures for 1898 differ from those for 1895 in regard tothe distribution of farms according to the amount of land. Thismay be due both to changes in time and to somewhat different methodsof collecting information. But the general relation betweenthe groups remains the same. The census of 1895 takes into account* To be more precise, farmers who own no cattle, for unfortunatelythe Danish statistics do not give the number of farmers who own no
