COST OF EQUIPPING A FARM. 



From the foregoing discussion it will be possible to make a sum- 

 mary showing more or less accurately the first cost of equipping the 

 average farm under consideration. In Table XIV the actual inven- 

 tory valuations of live stock, produce, supplies, etc, are taken from 

 Table VII (p. 26), rather than approximations which might be 

 obtained from Table XIII.
