FARM MANAGEMENT IN CLINTON COUNTY, INDIANA.

WORK ANIMALS. 
There were rather wide variations in number of work animals on 
the different farms. The number of work animals on different farms 
of the same acreage often varied. The number of work animals on 
80-acre farms varied from 2 to 6, on 120-acre farms from 3 to 6, and on 
160-acre farms from 4 to 9. Most of the farms of 60 acres and less 
had from 2 to- 4 work animals, farms 61 to 100 acres had from 3 to 5, 
farms from 101 to 140 acres had from 4 to 6, farms from 141 to 180 acres 
had from 5 to 8 work animals, and farms larger than 180 acres had 
from 6 to 10. (See Table 25.)

These variations in Table 25 indicate variations in efficiency of 
work animals on different farms. These variations are expressed in 
Table 26 in terms of number of acres of corn produced per work animal. 
More than half of the farms each year produced from 5 to 9 acres of 
corn per work animal. Those farms producing less than 5 acres per 
work animal were usually among the smaller ones, while those pro- 
ducing 15 or more acres per work animal were usually among the 
larger.
