dollars' worth. I raised nine calves within the year, and 

 sold two thousand pounds of beef; by estimate (not 

 killed), fourteen hundred pounds of pork; raised six hun- 

 dred bushels (ears) corn, one hundred bushels oats, sixty 

 bushels potatoes, one hundred and fifty bushels Pennsylvania 

 turnips, and fifty bushels Purple-tops. My hay is estimated 

 at fifty tons, rowen, eight tons. My whole stock consists of 

 thirty-two cows, heifers, and calves, one bull, three horses, 

 one yearling colt. 



I employ one man for the season, at a cost of one hun- 

 dred and ninety dollars and board, and one other two months 

 and a half, from the middle of May, at a cost of fifty 

 dollars and board. I finished haying July 18. I earned out 

 at haying seventy-five dollars. I have no help from children 

 in door or out, my wife doing all the housework, with the 

 exception of three weeks' work of a girl.
