productive animals kept on these farms. Work horses, it must be 

 remembered, are not considered productive animals. Sheep stood

 farms. The clay farms kept relatively less stock than the silt loam

farms. The total animal units kept per 100 acres of improved land 

 on the clay farms were 10.02, as compared with 13.77 on the silt 

 loam farms. These are very low complements of live stock. In
