Limburg

adjacent provinces of Belgium and the Netherlands. They have a combined population of half a million, averaging about 300 to the square mile. For an idea of the crowded conditions of mines, factories, farms, dairies, distilleries, and villages, the reader is referred to the articles on the countries of which these provinces form a part. The name is kept prominent by its application to a cheese of an especially rank odor, known in the market as Limburger.
