There was little difference in the percentage distribution of the 

 various receipts in the different size-groups of farms. 



Over 60 per cent of the receipts on the dairy farms was received 

 from the sale of cattle and their products, while this source yielded 

 less than 40 per cent on the general farms. The farms of the latter 

 type had a much higher percentage of their receipts from the sale of 

 live stock other than cattle. Another variation in the distribution 

 of receipts on these two types of farms was from the sale of crops. 

 The general farms sold one and one-half times as much wheat and 

 about two and one-half times as much hay per farm as the dairy 

 farms. Receipts from woodland products averaged $11 per farm, 

 comprising $3 from maple sirup and $8 from lumber or wood. Other 

 receipts upon these farms, grouped as miscellaneous, amounted to $83 

 per farm, and consisted principally of receipts from hauling coal and 

 doing other team work.
