The difference is owing to the great quantity of saccharine matter contained in the cobs, as well as in the additional stimulus of distention afforded by the food, which is all important for graminivorous animals.

"To request that my people may be at their work as soon as it is light, work till it is dark, and be diligent while they arc at it, can hardly be necessary, because the propriety of it must strike every manager, who attends to my interest, or re- 1 1 1; 1 1 1 i Lif i ii v 1 1 1 1 1 :i i: i . i i ards his own character, and' ira who, on reflecting, must bex c"s've armer, that in a convinced that lost labor is ne-j 1 , 0 . nventy acres of corn vertobe regained. The pre-rbf 1 not savc 400 bundles sumption is, that every laborerlffodder from t,,e ravages of does as much in twentv-fouri U,.ese 5orm" and tllcrQ JJre hours, as his strength, vithout!,U,cr armcrs who are surfer- endangering his health or con stitution, will allow. But there is much more in what is called head work, that is, in the man ner of conducting business, than is generally imagined. For, take two managers, and give to each the same number of laborers, and let the laborers bo equal in all respects: let both these managers rise equally early, go equally late to rest, be equally active, sober, and indus- trious, and yet, in the course of the year, one of them, without l- ii i i .. pushing the hands under him more than the other, shall have performed infinitely more work. To what is this owing! Why, simply to contrivance, resulting from that forethought and ar rangement which will guard a gainst the misapplication of a bor, and doing it unseasonably. In ploughing, for instance, though the held lirst intended for it, or in which the ploughs may actually have been at work, should, from its situation, be rendered unfit (by rain or other cause) to be worked, and other spots, even though the call for them may not be so urgent, can be ploughed, this business ought to go on, because tho general operation is promoted by it. So with respect to other things, and particularly carting, where nothing is more common, than, when loads are to go to a place, and oth ers o be brought from it. though not equally necessary at the same moment, to make two trips, when one would serve. 1 nese things are only mentioned to show that the manager wiio takes a compre hensive view of his business, will throw away no labor."
