cheaper for common farmers than for gen- 

 tlemen ; and much of this is obfervable in 

 day-work, even where the prices are more 

 fettled than they can be in piece-work. 



Suppofe, in day-work, either by work- 

 ing harder or fairer hours, the farmer gets 

 but one hour's labour in a day more than a 

 gentleman : this, if you lay afide the break- 

 faft and dinner, amounts to near 10 per 

 cent, upon all the labour of a farm, exclu- 

 five of three men with the team. 



I fuppofed the team to work 52 weeks; 

 but a part of the year it {lands Hill ; this is 

 no impeachment of my calculation, which 

 was to difcover proportions, not quantity. 

 If we fubftitute 26 weeks, inftead of 52, 

 there will be no difference in the 3 2 per 

 cent, nor in any of the conclufions. 



The other lofs therefore upon common 

 labour, unconnected with the team, a- 

 mounts to more than the refiduum^ after 

 deducting three men; as thofe three will 

 o/ten be commonly employed : And what 

 comparifon can there be in the ufe of the 

 farmer to himfelf, when the team is idle, 

 and the gentleman's fervant to him ?
