In Russia the wages Of Il horse are
higher than those Of man, and hence,
OF course very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus. in the Nlshni

of man and horse to be about ~ cents
per day; Of man alone, 81 cents; that Is
80 cents for horse, and 81 cents for
man. The women receive from 10 to
~ cents. In the central agricultural,

southern steppe: Horse. 81 cents; man.
Is cents: woman. III cents.

draught animals. lu other words, it
costs less to keep them alive. In the
