Abstract
EKPLOYDNT. \nTHE Agricultural Gazette says, on the subject of the \nhirings of farm servants in tne north of England, which \ntake place at Whitsuntide and Martinmas: "Both male \nand female servants are hired for the half year, and they \nlive in the house of their employer, receiving board, lod~g, and washing, and so much money for the six \nmonthS, payable at the expiration of the engagement. \nThey are required to work well, and consequently their \nemployers, as a rule, realise that they must live well \nThe diet is plain, but strengthening; and they are a \nhardy:, contented, and happy peasantry; labour agitations being as yet unknown amongst them. For years \nwages have been on the increase. With regard to \nwomen servants, the high wages they can command in \ngentlemen&s;s and tradesmen&s;s families, coupled with \ntheir easier work there, is year by year thinning the \nranks of agricultural women servants, and, as a consequence, is yearly compelling farmers to pay higher \nrates." The Gazette proceeds to give the following \nrates :-" Appleby: Girls, from £6 to £8 the half-year; \nwomen, from £10 to £12. Brampton: The demand for \nwomen servants was brisk; dairy women, &c:, from £10 \nto £l11Os.; young girls, from £7 to £9 (the wages are \ncalculated by the half-year). Carli8le: W&s; omen, £9 to \n£11. Coclcermoutlt: W OInen, £7 to .£10; girls, .£3 to \n£7. Pennth: First-class women servants, £11 lOs to \n£12 lOs.; second class, £8 to £10. Kendal: Female \nservants commanded from £7 to £15 for the half-year, \nthe latter, of course, being exceptional. At Malton \nfemale servants very scarce; for the first time for many \nyears these had to "stand the market," the Corn E&s;Vent8 01 tile Motttlt. [ EDJlIalnromaD" a ........ Denmber 16th, lar .. \nExchange not being open for their accommodation. \n(We are ignorant of the reason of this change; its hardship is manifest.) In Howden, Yorkshire, very young \ngirls got £8 to £10; older ones, £15 up to £18 and £20, \naccording to age and capabilities. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting girls for farm houses \nwhere they had to milk. (It is a pity that we have not \nin England agricultural schools for women similar to \nthose which have worked so well in Sweden. The \nhealthy country life, though combined with hard bodily \nwork, would be a welcome change to many of our little \ntown-bred girls.) &s;WOMEN DYERS AT PERTB.-Miss Lewin (Employment of &s;Vomen&s;s Office; 22, Berner&s;s Street) writes:-\n&s;Ve went to Messrs.

About 160 \ngirls were employed, earning from 5s. to 12s per week. \nIn the linen factory of Messrs. Shields at Perth, many \nwomen are employed; the wages are higher, but the \nwomen are not 80 healthy looking. A few were tracing \npatterns, and we were told that some ,vere employed as \ndesigners.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
