[I rtiould explain, that theexpenceof the team, and the wear and tear of 

 carts, waggons, and harnefs, are throughout thefe minutes reckoned at what 

 tiiey aftualiy coft : at the end of every year the expence incurred was propor- 

 tionably divided among the work dene, according to the ftrength,- labour, 

 wear, and other cir-eumftances. This is the enly minutely accurate way of 

 knowing th4 real expence of work; it proceeds on the principle, that if two 

 horfts coft 20I. and they plough 20 acres in the year, doing no other work, 

 the expence is 20s. an acre. Thofe men who have their teams idle to fave 

 expence, know very little of what their real expence is.]

 I fliall calculate the cows 26 weeks at 6d. per 

 week, and the calves the fame at 3d.
