　　Let's take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder, for example .He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields，and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time，he did many other jobs on the farm. However，he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards，make the plows（犁）,or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs.
