Hyttbäcken increased the number of charcoal kilns, from one in 1866,
to three in 1867, five in 1868, and four in 1869. Anders Jansson also substan-
tially increased the income from works of trust. Already in 1867 and 1868,
this income doubled compared to the years 1861–1866, from c. 100 to c. 200
rd., and in 1869–70 it reached 300 rd. Just as the other two farms, Hyttbäck-
en tried to compensate the hay deficit in 1868 by collecting more leaf fod-

These complementing income sources, however, did not fully compen-

the proportion of the salaries paid in cash increased after the bad harvest of
