Syllabus

<p>Contract — Farm laborer — Evidence—Charge of court.</p> <p>In an action to recover for farm work, plaintiff testified that he was to farm sixty acres of land for defendant from May 1,1892, to April 1, 1893. Defendant, however, testified that plaintiff was to work for him as a farm laborer for one year. It appeared that when the agreement was made defendant’s farm contained sixty acres, and that, about a month after plaintiff commenced work upon it, defendant purchased twenty-five acres adjoining it. On the land so purchased plaintiff, at defendant’s request, worked thirty-five and one half days, and he claimed that'this work was not included in his agreement to farm the sixty acres. In such a ease it was not improper to submit the case to the jury.</p>
