It will be seen that the farms classed as “dairy, hogs, and grain”’ 
derive only about one-fourth (25.4 per cent) of their incomes from 
the sale of dairy products; 14 per cent from the sale of hogs; and 
10.5 per cent from the sale of wheat. The minor sources of income 
are as follows: Poultry, 7.1 per cent; oats, 5 per cent; dairy cattle, 
4.5 per cent; hay, 4.6 per cent; ewes and lambs, 4.7 per cent; and 
feeding sheep, 3.5 per cent. It will be noted that these farms show 
distinctly a wider diversity in their sources of income than any of 
the other classes. | | 
The dairy and hog farms receive 37.3 per cent of the total receipts 
from the sale of dairy products and 25.3 per cent from hogs, and the 
dairy and grain farms an average of 39.7 per cent of the total receipts 
from the sale of dairy products, and 18.8 per cent from the sale of 
wheat.
