This big stack of grain is at the farm of Mr. Wilbert Dining, 2nd concession of Tuckersanith, east of Hensall, and contains slightly over eighteen loads of barley •and mixed grain, The 'builder of the stack was Mr. W. 3, 1Jones, well •known Hen- sall man and former Reeve of that village, who is 7.9 years of age. During his long lifetime Mr. Jones has built a great many stacks and he is regarded in the community as an expert in the art of making these great pyramids of sheaves. This one at Mr. D'illing's is the tallest Mfr. Dotes has ever ,built, being nearly forty feet high. It contains twelve loads of +barley in the lower 'part and the rest is .mixed grain. Care is necessary in 'building a stack, Mr. !Jones says, to keep the butts turned out and sloping ' down, in order to shed water. More stacks were built in the early days when barns were smaller, and also before the days of stook threshing. An ex- tra heavy crop this year made stack- ing necessary at Mr. Dining's. The old timers used to build their stacks sloping outward and upward from the base, until the sides might overhang as much as ten feet 'before they started tapering it to a peak. Sheaves that have been standing in stooks for ten days are usually shap- ed just about right for 'building a good stack, Mr. Jones said. Some men work on their hands and knees while arranging the sheaves, but he prefers standing up and using a fork. A 'hay stack is much easier to build than a grain stack. The only trick about making a hay stack is to tramp the centre, but not the, sides; let the hay at the sides hang down, he said. Mr. Jones was :born in Hastings Comity on the bay shore road mid- way !between Trenton and Belleville, a great apple growing country. The family moved to Huron county in (118701. There was no London, Huron and Bruce railway then. They arriv- ed at Seaforth station OA a cold day in March and were met 'by an uncle with a team. He has vivid recollections of deep snow piled high between rail fences, and of getting off and running behind the sleigh to keep warm cm that first journey to their new' home on the south bound- ary of Stanley township, west of Kip.pen. The homestead and adjacent farms are now owned by his sons Norman and Herbert. After the railway came great quan- tities of cordwood four feet long were shipped to London. Two long pales of wood, six feet high, were kept con- stantly at Kippen statin .ready for immediate ,loading on the cars when- ever orders came. The price was a cord. Later, when woad was not so plentiful the price rose to $5 a cord. Mr. !Jones 'remembers when the creek at Kippen flowed all summer' long and supplied power for the Be11 mill. Modern drainage carries the water away so, quickly now that the creek is usually dry in summer, He is of the opinion oarr climate has changed due to 'lack of moisture and we don't get the frequent little show- ers they had in the early days.
