Need help with spelling + understanding place

[Kathryn Stone]

Greetings  . . .  it's me again, with a few more questions  . . .
 
I am tracing our g-grandmother, and find that in the 7-8 years before she emigrated to America she worked in 5 different places.  
Two of them i need help with the spelling. Also, 4 of the places she worked have at least one full page of piga working there  . . .  can someone explain to me what is going on in these places that requires so many maids?
 
1. Harradsudden ?  in Borg Östergötland (AI:17) pg 149  >  276.42.2300
2. Skrafvestad  ?  in Örtomta Östergötland (AI:19) pg 1  >  433.31.19300  This is one of those places with a whole page of piga workers
3. Kyrke___bastalle ? in Rystad Östergötland (AI:22) pg 134  >  360.34.26500  Another one of those very busy places
4. Claestorp in Östra Vingåker, Södermanland  (AI:16) pg 89  >  456.8.40300     Again, a very busy place for maids
5. Kryka_____degard ? in Rystad Östergötland (AI:22) pg 133  >  360.34.26400  And another one
6. Kryka_____degard ? in Rystad Östergötland (AI:23) pg 573  >  360.35.57600    - same as above -      
 
The woman I am tracing is Emma Mathilda Gustafsdotter, born 1862 in Borg.
 
As always I am very grateful and will be eternally in your debt for any help you can provide.

About the many maids (and farmhands) at some places: Check the moving-in and moving-out dates, not all of them are there at the same time.
 
1. The placename index first in the volume has Häradsudden
 
2. The placename index first in the volume has Skravestad
 
3. Rystad Kyrkoherdeboställe (Pastor's residence)
 
4. Modern spelling Klastorp
 
5. Rystad med stomhemmanet Skälf, 2 hemman, Kyrkoherdeboställe (Rystad with the priest's farm Skälf, 2 farms, Pastor's residence)

Bo -
 
Yep, you are absolutely correct. So much for that little mystery.
And thanks for the spelling help.
 
As always, I really appreciate your patient help,

Hi Kathryn,
the maids contracts were usually one year. If a maid was well treated and liked the people she was working for and with, she often prolonged the contract. So, I think a full page of maids all staying only one year may say something about how the people on the farm treated their maids - and the conditions concerning food and so on.

Harriet,
 
I thought I had long ago sent you a little thank you for your additional comment and insight, but since I do not see it here, I must have been dreaming. So sorry.  I do thank you for your added note, it was very perceptive, and lead me to look at things in another way.
