In the above account, nothing is allowed for the work of the 

 team, as it is believed that the green corn stalks, small potatoes, 

 tops and refuse of the vegetables, which are fed to the cows and 

 hogs, and of which no account can be given, are equal in value 

 to the wear of the tools and the team work on the farm — 

 the farm work being but a small portion of the labor performed 

 by the team. 



It will be seen, by the above, that, including the improve- 

 ment made in the value of the farm, the sum of $551 29 is left 

 to pay me for my labor upon the farm, which occupies my 

 whole attention about three fourths of the year. I consider a 

 rotation of crops indispensable to good culture.
