During tbe other nine months, each day's work is per- formed in two journeys, when I always expect that a man with two horses will plough from an acre and a half to two acres per day» In the Summer they go to work at six, return at eleven, bait their horses till two, during which time the men not only eat their dinners, but take their noonings, 1. e. a reſreshing knap; at two they-return to work, and leave off at Seven, thus the days labonr occupies ten hours, five each Journey, Sometimes indeed in very hot weather, I have my people and horses rest from ten till three, 1. e. work from five vll ien, and from three till eight; thus avoiding the hottest Part of the day, during which, the horses are enjoying their tares,&c. in a cool Stable; and the men taking their noonings on the hay-loft.
