The operator of this farm carried on a considerable live-stock business, as is shown 

 by the number and value of stock on hand at the beginning of the year. In addition, 

 he bought a few more cattle, horses, and hogs during the year. Horses and mules 

 afforded his chief source of income. Over 40 per cent of the total investment was 

 in working capital. Income was contributed by all classes of stock, and corn, wheat, 

 and oats were sold to the extent of $838. This farm was in a section with an abundance 

 of free range pasture.
