$10,47 per 100 pounds; that for cattle, $7.09. The average receipts 
per animal unit from hogs for these 100 farms was $114, and from 
cattle, $55. 
Most of the 100 farms carried less than 10 animal units in the form 
of cattle per 100 acres, and these were almost equally divided between 
those with less than 5 and those with from 5 to 10. (See Table 21.) 
Farms with more than 10 animal units in cattle per 100 acres were 
very small farms with 3 to 5 animal units in cattle farms, that were 
fiving considerable attention to dairying, or farms that were feeding 
eef cattle.

While most of the 100 farms had less than 10 animal units in the 
form of hogs per 100 acres, a considerable number of them, varying 
from 28 to 38 per cent of all the farms for different years, had more 
than 10 animal units in hogs per 100 acres. (See Table 22.)

The ratio of the number of animal units in the form of cattle to that 
in the form of hogs for all farms throughout the eight years was 1 
to 1.5, with yearly variations of from 1:1. 2 to 1:1. 9. The variations 
of individual farms were much greater than these, but most farms fell 
within a range of 1 animal unit in cattle to 0.1 to 1.9 animal units in 
hogs, and more of the more successful farms within a range of 1 animal 
unit in cattle to 2 or more animal units in hogs. (See Table 23.) 
The more successful farms referred to here are those with farm in- 
comes above the regression line for size of farm and farm income.
