'Gluten:Ll will ouly add that I have hod some experience,
aol pouibly reav hare given the subject of piece work
some extra personal attention, eetendlog over severed
year., and lam perfectly satisfied with the result. In
midition to the aoininon practioo of hedging, mowing,
turnip hoeing, ha, I cart and spread nearly all the
manure on the farm by piece work, store large
quontt y of roots for stook, and prepare them ready for
the turnip cutter, and I think it advisable to 3 further
eutnul the system, believing it will tend to my own
advantage, end not loss to the well doing of those whom
I employ.
Mr. Saunders was applauded at the conclusion of hie
paper, which appeared to excite considerable interest.
Mr. DAVZS remarked that the labourer who mode the
speech which Mr. Saunders has quoted must hare been
a little above par, lie believed piece work is one of
those things that farmers will have to adopt more than
they have done In past years.
Mr. EiLT rose to thank Mr, Saunders. they were very
much obliged t 3 him for hia lecture. Mr. Sly quite
agreed with all the propositions brotight forward, and
considered piece work must be beneboial to the muter
sad the labourer, for they got more done In the time, and
got it better done, than by day work. Farmers generally
let draining and hedging by the piece, and one man
would do by piece work in one day almost as reach as
two would do in two days by day work, certainly as ,
much as one wool I get through in two days—(hear,)
and they would do it much bottle II had put women I
on piece work in tying 11.111. 11.11 d found tat they would
do double in the same time. Mowing corn, or reaping,
is &treaty geherally let by the sere, Intl this was found
to bout WA) of getting It done.
Mr. Balite remarked that the harvest weak' searoely
be done in time unless the cutting were by piece work,
and some member aided there would be too touch
love for the beer beard shown—(a laugh).
Mr. SLY, as the subject of wages was mentioned,
oontinned that his labourers, on reckoning their wagon
throughout the year, mostly got 12s. 6.1. it T week;
some got more and some less; but he had not a man
on his farm who gets lees than 10s. a week, and most
of them 12s. or 12s. 6.1.--iletar). All the summer
they have piece work whoa possiblo, and in the winter
they get it again in the water-meadows and draining,
and ho had always found it the moist owasuoutleal way,
awl ths epudiest for getting the work dose, lie melon
thanked Mr: Saunders for his treatment of the subject,
which Is a most useful one for farmers to hear all they
con about—(hear),
Mr. W. LONGMAN being relied on, was quite mire
Mr. Saunders is quits aspab'e of giving °perces informa-
tion on thane matters, perhaps he has more experience
than many others in the room. Ifs (Mr. Longman's)
occupation not being quite so extensive as Mr.
Saunders's, he did not carry oat the piece work system
so much. On a large holding pleas work dispensed
with a oertdu number of hands, and less horse labour
could do the work that if everything is done by the
day. In harvesting aud ploughing the same nuotbor
of horses will do very mach more work, and the were
that Can be done by the strength on the farm, the
b t:cr fr thu muter, for if they are done slowly,
things are driven our, and by and by the season to
gene. I'lece work is . speoially good for those lebourera
who are good for noything, for he hod sense men on
his farm who would rather work by the day t 11 the
taek ; but be could not recommend them to his friends
—Oral. He behoved such men should be put to
piece work, and It would do them good—(laughter). In
thanking Mr. Standen., Mr. Longman said the paper
was a vary good proems] one, and be believed Mr.
Saunders is the right man in the right plies —(hear,
h. or:)
In answer to Mr. Bennett, IMr• CRAPII4II &MIDI=
said he raid if. per loml for filing, oud lid. for spr. a l-
ing dung, and he gave the carter la an afternoon for
his work atter two o'clock. If three men filled GO loads,
that would bs 20 eaoh, and their earnings would be
20.1. a-piece.
Mr. SATZS said it is difficult to bring the whole of
the farm work Into piece work, Maths system is capaole
of greet extension.
Mr. BAONDIIia told the more they combined different
sorts of work together, the more easily it would be
extended. Mowing. turnip-hoeing, and other thinp,
they did not think of letting by day work, and why
should they the rest? He ones had nearly all his
wheat pitched and loaded by the awe, and gave bid.
where they did riot tie tho loads, and 61. where they
did. The work was done very quickly, for be got half
as muob again done In the day.
Mr. Bates asked how the des of the loads was
reckoned?

Mr. Sattirnsin replied that they were good Innis.
One man pltohet 34 lonia In ono day. Two of them,
one pitcher and one loader, were on e pion of "theta
somewhere about I i sores.

Kr. Losousx ailed if Mr. Saunders interfered with
the extra money pod for harvest!
Mr. SAUNDERS eaal —Not at all ; they had their extra
lia•vest money all the VMS. On his farm the cutting
was not very mush, because they did so mush with the
reaping misAine , but they amid get the wheat Oohed
and loaded at fid. per acre, 34. for the loader, and 3.1.
for the pitcher, and one man would pitch 34 good loads
of sheaved. At the present time, he had special work
looked out for all his buds, and there are very few but
know to-day what they will have tile to-morrow ; there
are very 'Odd" hauls among them, but nearly all here
their proper plum. He hat boon through a mannfeelita7
at Sheffield, and saw how every man had la! Own works
and became) he was always doing it, he did Ala the beat
and qulokest way it could be done—(bear).
Mr. BATES quite agreed they were indebted to Mr.
Saunders for his kindness in bringing forward the
subject, about the important* of which there can
be no doubt. By a well-organised system of plea
-
work they could not only get the fall value of the money
paid the labourer; but when a lair amount of work ii
wanted to be done, it Is accomplished by piece work in
, lees time than by the day. He rather exputed Mr.
Saunders would have given more of the details as to the
prises he had paid. They all clime here to learn, and
looked up to those men who tried this model system of
piece work in agriculture. AU agreed that a fair system
of tat-work la best for man and employer; but they
wantel a little practical knowledge on the subjest so as
to lead them into the pearl°. of It. The fairest test of
• man's worth is to give him piece work, and let him
earn sa much u he can. The more piece work le
purred the bettor, for it will be for the mutual benefit
of master and man by getting • larger proportion of
work does in the time, and getting tho tall value of
the money paid, and M there are many ways by widish
labourers' work may be undensed lot) piece work it
should he done as much as parable. While on the subject
of labourers' wages, he thought the Mb= or payment
in kindle one whisk wilt have to be abolished. He wee
perfectly satisfied that what haa been done was for the
benefit of the labourer and his family (bow bear); bet
the time Issues. when he cause to appreidate it, and
the public abuses it. The farmer, he believed, will
have to make Ids payments more in money directly, and
let the labourer and bla family depend upon thou fends
that actually come into their heeds. Where there Is a
little improvideoce on the pail of the head of the
family, the family nay suffer; but the responsibility
most met with those who have raised the agitation
against the system of part payment in kind. lie we.
sorry they bad had what Kr. Sunder may waddler •
short dismission ; but he had no wish to roes it yet, and
would like to get • little moment of him. Ho thanked
him for bringing forward the subject, and was quite
sure that nit mately we shall and the benefit of Intro-
ducing plus work Instead of day work.
Mr. SAUNDIIIe said it was very possible he did not
exactly eonvey what the members expiated; but his
Idea was to enforce general pirtheiples rather than lay
down any fixed scale of pricer. The value of the
different kinds of plus work varies very mush; bet
many things are well reoognised as turnip-horne,
hedging, mowing, thrashing, and some others, we all
auderstand should be done by piece work, lie had
refined to other kinds of work al t this
system—the carting and spreading of manure, the
harvering of oorn after it is out, stacking and storing
of roots, and the preparation of them before they are
stored. He paid for filling manure. Id. p:r I Ad, and
lid. for spreading. Taking the lug rue, there ay.
days In which men earn more than on other days ;
generally they may earn *bout 204. per day, but some.
timer they can earn 2.. 61., and ara:m another day •

melees to it the seine as • mechanic. Ilc kept •

put down the manure the men filling, where it is

calculated. The men may go fiWng In the morning,
and in the afternoon they spread. In the stacking of
roots In the field, puking thorn up with the green, JO.

The men can earn rather more money at stroking than
at trimming but circumstances very mach murales
