The number of days-work of man-labor requisite for 

 producing the foregoing specified crops by the aid of 

 machine power, together with the quantity of those 

 several crops which the same labor-power could have 

 produced by the earlier hand method, are shown in the 

 following : 



Finding next the difference between the quantities of 

 the several crops actually produced under machine 

 methods, in the years indicated, and the quantities 

 which the labor-power requisite for their production 

 with the aid of machines could have produced had it 

 been devoted to the production of those same crops by 

 hand methods, we have the following :
