$ 2 Yokes of Oxen, at 25 = 50 = 250 1 Horse 20 = 100 2 Ox-carts, at 15 = 30 = 150 1 Waggon 20 = 100 2 Ox-sleds, at 1 = 2 = 10 2 Ox-ploughs, at 2 = 4 = 20 1 Single Horse-plough 1 = 5 2 Harrows 2 = 4 = 20 Cradles, scythes, hoes, rakes, flails, etc.

4 = 20 Fanning-mill, hay-cutter, and corn-sheller.

4 = 20 15 Cows, steers, and heifers 45 = 225 6 Shoats, or pigs, six months old 10 = 50 These figures would indicate a large operation for a practical New England farmer, who should undertake to purchase and cultivate an estate of 400 acres.

Indeed, not one in a hundred buying such a large tract of land would think of purchasing all the implements on this list at once, or entirely new.

One of his carts, sleds, and harrows would very probably be "second-handed," and bought at half the price of a new one.
