PRIMARY RESULTS 



to year are very slight on farms where the labour is carefully 

 planned and well directed. On an east-midlands farm 

 employing twenty -three horses, the days worked per horse 

 during the past six years have been as follows :

The tendency of the change in the total cost of horse labour 

 on the farm during these years, and the influence on the cost 

 per horse-day of the proportion which days worked bear to the 

 possible working days, is shown by the following graph :
