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.
