charge of horses. 



(b) Agricultural labourer, farm servant, distinguished as in

 England and Wales. This can only be secured if the column provided

1. — Every occupier of land whose principal occupation is that of a 

 farmer or grazier, should state this fact, employing one or other of 

 these terms. 



2. — Sons or other relatives (male and female) of farmers engaged in 

 "assisting in the work of the farm " should so return their occupation. 



3. — A person in charge of a farm on behalf of the owner or occupier 

 should describe himself as " farm bailiff," or, if the term farm foreman 

 or farm steward is used in these circumstances, it should be explained 

 that it is employed in this sense. 



4. — Shepherds are to include every person on the farm whose time 

 is wholly or chiefly taken up with the care of sheep. 



5. — The three sub-divisions under which agricultural labourers are 

 now to be shown must include farm labourers, farm servants (not 

 being domestic servants), and all other persons engaged in farm work, 

 other than shepherds; and such persons are accordingly requested to 

 indicate, by some distinctive term such as "carter on farm," "cattleman
