Table No. 14. 



Although the farmers of Group No. 6, who practised high feeding methods 

 on good livestock, made greater labour incomes than either of the groups with 

 poor livestock, they did not do as well as Group No. 5. Group No. 6 fed too 

 heavily for most profitable returns, as their labour income was less than that of 

 Group No. 5, where good feeding methods were practised. 



Table No. 14 shows, then, that farmers would do well to feed rather liberally. 

 Underfeeding proved a greater mistake than overfeeding. A happy medium 

 should be secured. By feeding according to the production of the herd, the 

 farmers secured most profitable returns. Though feeding is a great factor in 

 labour income, the breeding of the herd is of greater importance, as is shown 

 in Table No. 14. 



RENTED VERSUS OWNED FARMS. 



Table No. 15. 



Table No. 15 compares owned and rented farms. The great proportion of 

 farms investigated were owned by the operators; the table includes sixty-six 

 owned farms and fourteen rented ones. The average size was ninety acres in 

 case of the rented farms, and seventy-two acres in case of the owned farms.
