A FIVE-YEAR FARM MANAGEMENT SURVEY IN OHIO. 33 
HOGS. 
The receipts from hogs for the five-year period averaged $118 per 
farm, or one-eighth of the total receipts, and varied from $61 per 
farm in 1912 to $154 in 1914. A few of the farmers bought pigs for 
growing their own pork supply, but most of them kept one or two 
brood sows. Sixteen per cent of the farmers sold no hogs, 41 per 
cent sold from $42 to $100 worth, and 40 per cent sold over $100 
worth. The production of hogs in this locality is necessarily limited 
because of the small amount of corn produced. 
HOESES AXD COLTS. 
Horses are kept on these farms primarily for the work they do, 
and but few of the mares raise colts. Most of these colts, after grow- 
ing into horses, are either sold or replace horses that have died or 
that have been sold. The receipts from horses and colts were there- 
fore low, amounting to only $28 per farm, or about 2 per cent of the 
total receipts. 
CHOP SALES. 
The total crop sales amounted to $165 per farm, or $4 less than the 
sales of poultry and eggs. 
Almost all crops produced were represented in the crop sales, but 
over seven-eighths of the total crop sales were from the four crops, 
wheat, hay, fruit, and corn, named in the order of their importance. 
The remaining one-eighth of the crop receipts amounted to $18 per 
farm, and included the sale of clover seed, potatoes, oats, rye, soy 
beans, straw, fodder, cider, and vinegar. 
MISCELLANEOUS KECELPTS. 
In addition to selling live stock, butter, cream, eggs, wool, and farm 
crops, many of the farmers received some money from the sale of 
lumber, posts, wood, or shackle poles, for the rent of pasture or farm 
buildings, for the use of part of the farm equipment, such as the farm 
machinery or the farm team, and for part of their own labor or time. 
These have all been considered receipts of the farm business and 
designated " miscellaneous receipts." They totaled $81 per farm, and 
made up a little less than one-tenth of the total farm receipts. Most 
of these receipts were for work done off the farms, either by the 
farmers alone or with their teams, and included such work as day 
labor on other farms, official work, road work, hauling coah and 
moving oil rigs. 
EXPENSES. 
All costs in connection with operating the farm business above 
those of interest on investment and value of the farmer's own labor
