earlier date.
rye has latterly declined. The relation of the two chief kinds of bread to
each other at different periods is also shown by the following figures.
Annually Wheat Bye Total
1861—70 ........... 13’1 86-9 100-0
1871—80 ........... 15-5 84-5 100-0

Whereas in the years 1861—70 wheat formed 13’i % of the total
consumption, its proportion in the years 1901—10 was nearly three times as great
(36’i %). Barley, which in former times was in the more northerly parts of
Sweden almost the only grain used for making bread, has for that purpose been
gradually ousted by wheat and rye.
The consumption of meat was computed by P. Fahlbeck for the years
1885—88 at about 28 kilograms annually per head of population, which
