Old books are interesting. I have a Civil Engineer's Handbook from =
about 1850 that has things like how many nails in a keg, what a man with =
a horse can accomplish, how big a hole two men can dig in a =
day.............Good reading.

Referring to it again, you=E2=80=99ll be glad to know that it tells us =
that one man can pull a one acre field of mangel-wurzels in 2.50 days. I =
leave you to ponder on how long a day was, what is a mangel-wurzel and =
is it worth pulling.
