THE EL
IN THE SPRIN.G.
(BY .REV, DUNCAN McTAVISH)
•
There were times in, those early
days When. after. along, dry spell.,
the wells.. failed and; like Elijah's
brook,, dried up. It was then that a
real emergency had to be met,,and
father, met it with an old. oaken
bar'rel,placed. in a spring.,
A few rod west of the old sandpit
'and on a lower plateau. was a soft
MarshySwale. it was: at this point
that the moisture that, gathered at, .
the clay level farther east began
to.• ooze.out to the.surfac. e. If
therewas any moisture left in the
'soil at all , it wasbound,to come
out at this point. Anopen ditch
had been dug to carry this water
over the hill .to the river
underneath:.Into this dutch my
father sank an oaken iarreL It
stood about a foot above the ;top'
Of the earth' and was . covered with
a. lid to keep everything Mit. Into
the barrel,. the .water seeped from
bigher:ground; filling it with at
.least two feet of this precious
',liquid. Here one could always. ` •
come; :assured that he'would get:a
• couple of pailfuls' if needed. It
took some little time,to replace,.
the water level, but gradually•the
barrel;filled, up again. ' it washere
as.a ladr1 drew many a pail and
Hcarried ; it back to the house; no
taps or .pressure tanks in those, days:
Artesian :wells had not yet :made
'their appearance. but life was';
sustained:
The water was anything; but cold
on a ' hot summer's day. But it.'was.
wet and that meant .a lot. Man's
greatest . enerhy through ,the ages
has .been thirst .. •
Along the road i travelled as .a
boy to school, was •a stretch in'
which all the buildings on, both
sides of the 'road were at the back
of.the farm. The reason*, this was
that a river ran on 'thein ideat:
the blind line, 'and a• spr ek
pn the south 'side. The one t
they had' to have was water forth
