In some situations it would be better to have more of them labourers, but in other Servants are more advantageous; this depends on circumstances.

By this plan a certain proportion of hands are afsigned to each businefs; but at times some will want more; which the Cows are milking and suckling the Cow herd, must take some of the tillage boys, as they are not to be employed in feeding and drefsing the draught cattle, they will here time both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Four horses in the teams are to be allotted to a man for the care in cleaning and feeding, therefore the 16. horses require 4. men, the 14. Draught Oxen one Man and a Stoatlod; but the men that drives the road team must have at all times the afsistance of a boy as he is to unload his waggon every day. The teams therefore require fire men and two boys, so that out of the above table there remains nine men and four boys for any kinds of work both of mornings and Evenings.

The additional labourers that must be employed upon the crops above mentioned addition remains to be proportions /addition; all the plowing, harrowing, horsehosing, carting, the drivers, and all the cattle are provided for, the best method of calculating them is by saying what the work will unclear, and then divide the Sum into labourers annual earnings.
