It stood in the corner of the back
field; commonlys known as the
"stoney field''. It.,still stands' there
amid changing scenes that have
altered,the'whole_'topography. In
the centre of the pile arethe.
remains of an .old stump around
which'the first stones were piled.
For this was stoney soil and there
were some ridges in the field
Where it was almost impossible to
keep a plough in •the ground.
One of my .early 'recollections
was that: gathering stones in a
wheelbarrow, and puttin :..them in
small heaps• so that.. they. could ,be
loaded more quickly into the wag
on and•taken'to the. pile. The
stones were for the most part
small but ;with the. accumulation of
years, the stone pile assumed quit
large proportions. ,.Occasionally
someone wanted a few loads. of
. stones to fill a trench, for„building:
operations.,: and father was only.too
.glad to:help out..'A trench filled
with small stones•provided good
drainage'on which to build a stone
or cement v1a11
Weeds' grew up around 'its borders.
The chief onewas'the.mullen with
its broad leaves which when dried
made.. a substitute for tobacco
leaves : and more than one .boy
could "boast his first smoke from
this source. Milkweeds appeared
with their strange, earlike pods 'and:
white, substance that looked much
like milk. Bunches of hoarhound

kept for medicinal purposes. A tea
steeped from the dried' leaves was ,
taken for coughs and colds.Some-
times mother took a little tea and -
mixing it,.with maple syrup, made
a fine taffy that, was delicious;
Hoarhound candy was one medic-
ine we took with relish. We liked
it then and we still like it and
avail ourselves of it whenever oPP -
