250 FARM ARITHMETIC. 



48. When disposing of his calves the farmer is paid 

 $50 each for 4 pure breds, $25 each for 4 grade yearlings, 

 and $6 each for two calves. He sells 80 hogs, 60 of them 

 in the summer. They average 226 pounds, and he is paid 

 $7.35 per hundred. He s-ells 12 hogs during the winter 

 at $8.15 per hundred, the twelve averaging 195 pounds 

 each. The other 8 he slaughters at home. They "dress 

 out" 84 per cent, and bring 12 cents a pound. What was 

 the total sum received for the 10 calves and the 80 hogs ? 



49. If these transactions were entered in an account, 

 show how the facts in Problem 48 could be entered so 

 as to give all the information and show the total receipts. 



50. Prepare an inventory of a 75-acre farm, placing 

 in it the land and animals as mentioned, with valuations 

 as typical of your community, and include all other tools, 

 implements, and appliances that would be customarily used 

 in your section on such a farm, and that would be ex- 

 pected if the work were properly done. Make an estimate 

 of the respective values of these tools and implements.
