The amount sold from the farm has averaged, estimating, 

 for convenience' sake, three hundred days per year, $9.39 per' 

 day. First seven years, $4.56 per day. The last twelve 

 years, $12.19. In 1863 I paid for labor $260. The highest 

 amount paid in any one year was $634 in 1872. Have not 

 done nearly the amount of farming I might ; but have done 

 all that I ought with my health and the amount of other 

 business I had to do. The average expenses for running 

 the farm, help, and board, interest, taxes, horses, harnesses, 

 wagons, machines, and other outlays, for the nineteen years, 

 was $5.22 per day, giving me $4.17 per day salary for nine- 

 teen years.
