The productions of farms in detail, quantity, and value of the two 

 periods, were substantially as in the following table, not including those 

 of corn, straw, milk consumed in farmers 7 families, field crops of roots, 

 and numerous small products, which may be held to offset the duplica- 

 tions of com in meat-making and the far smaller duplications in dairy- 

 ing, for a vast preponderance in values of meats, butter, and cheese is 

 derived from grass depastured.
