  • Occupation Notes
    • Upon most farms, an upper servant, farm steward, or bailiff is employed, to whom the special orders for farm work are communicated, and who sees it executed, and takes charge of corning the horses.  To him, likewise, the charge of sowing, stacking, and thrashing, is confided.  In smaller farms he usually works a pair of horses, as one of the hinds; but on larger farms, he mostly superintends only.  He is paid like the hinds, in grain and money, with such additional wages or gains as may be agreed upon, seldom exceeding from three to five pounds above the other servants.
