THE PIONEER
The pioneer built himself a house
of logs,
The clothes he wore they called
them togs.
I wonder what he would think to-
day
If he could come back and see
our way.
He cut his wheat with a sickle
bow ,
And threshed it with a flail we
know;
He cradled the wheat and also' the
corn;
And lonely they were but not .for-
lorn. •
His , light was of tallow, the wick
was a string,
And he dusted his house with a
goose's wing.
He ploughed his fields with a
wooden plough
Drove his oxen and milked his
cow.

I He entertained in one big room,
I No style - just a board for a table
I ' loomed. .
There was no time then to fuss and

For the family slept in the same
common room.
He brought his fiddle and things.

Fr,om the 'Old Country' he called
his own..
Some had harps of the finest tone,
Others- played on a fine-toothed
comb.

And wound the yarn on a thing
called a reel. -
He cooked his meals on an iron

He ground the wheat and made
fine flour
And that would take him many an
hour!
He'dried many apples and_ hung
"up the corn,
,Also salted the pork which
I kept it long.
Made his own candles and wooden
nails,
Shaved the shingles, built

The people 'are -ralch better

And "so the pioneer has come into

No doubt some' would be amazed.
