"With laborers.

" "The laborers won't work well, and won't work with good implements.

Our laborer can do nothing but get drunk like a pig, and when he's drunk he ruins everything you give him.

He makes the horses ill with too much water, cuts good harness, barters the tires of the wheels for drink, drops bits of iron into the thrashing machine, so as to break it.

He loathes the sight of anything that's not after his fashion.
