Or you send the kids when they are old enough but before they get the sense to not do it .
The recent immigrants were a good labour source , but they are getting wise to it now , as the sign showed .
But believe it or not there are some strange people who actually like the work , there are even some real masochists who like it so much they still cut by hand , turning a hard dirty job into a really hard , really dirty , long job .
