 large; but, at 10 liours per day, gives 2,2G9 days' work in the department, or 

 87 mouths and 5 days. This would be equivalent to employing 7 men for 1 

 year with 3 months and 5 days extra time. When we take into account the 

 large amount of work performed on permanent improvements, beside the reg- 

 iilar labor of caring for the crops, tlic amount of labor docs not seem so large.
