MANAGEMENT. 

 Daily Leaf and Tea Account. 



153 



If this system is carried out, no Tea (exceeding a pound 

 or so) can be stolen without its being at once missed, and the 

 importance of this cannot be exaggerated. Tea proprietors 

 do not guess how much is lost in this way. Maunds upon 

 maunds might be stolen in many gardens, and unless the 

 theft were accidentally discovered there is nothing in the Tea 

 accounts to show it to the manager. 



I have suppositiously filled up the three first days of the 

 form. The 820 Ibs. leaf picked on Sunday is made into Tea 

 on Monday. The 198 is written down Sunday evening. On 

 Tuesday morning, when the Tea is weighed and found to 

 be 200 Ibs., that is entered in the Monday line, as also the 

 percentage. On Tuesday evening, after it is sifted and made 

 into different Teas, it is weighed again and found to be 

 199 Ibs., and so entered.
