came time to lift the crop and then

taking place there was the building
of a large steer feeding stable that
my father had erected. It had a ca-
pacity of 30 head of matured cattle
and it was full every winter. and stall
fed for the May market. It was fill-
ed to capacity for seven years before
he died. I may say that I had. care
of this stableful for three winters,
besides a lot !more at mid-day. He
used to grow around 10 acres of tur-
nips for /the first few years; then re-
duced the ground to about seven and
one-half acres, and these were all
pulled by hand every year, and what
was not fed whole were pulped by
.hand. iI only remember of him
selling one animal for six cents
per .pound. They were gener-
ally sold for 'around '5 cents, and one
'year he went to see Gilbert Dick,
who was one of the popular dealers
at the time, and begged him to take
the 30 head at 41/2 cents per pound
towards the end of May. But as I
mentioned pre'vi'ously .in this write-
up, he had a very large pile of ex-
relient barnyard manure to make twit)
blades 'of grass grow where one grew
before. This being a trait he brought
front the 'old home in Scotland. Ile
received a fetter from: his brother,
my uncle, John Elder, who farmed in
Sdatland some years before he died,
and he said he was ploughing four-
teen inches deep on the old farm
there and they were putting their
drains down deeper than ever. I re-
member old 'Paul Bell and myself
talking about drains and he • said
Scotland was the 'best farmed coun-
try in the world and they were tak-
ing up the drains that were down 6
feet and putting them down five. He
thought it was a case of laziness
when so many people put their drains
in so near the surface. I 'must say
«o too. Either that or stupidity or
ignorance.
My father was a great man for
curling. In fact, it was he that be-
gan the curlin'g in Hensel] many years
ago:' This dray a lot of the Heneall
men were going to a tournament in
Seaforth and the fellows from Ren -
sell were taking a sleigh to accom-
madate all, and my father was to
meet them at Sin'clair's corner carry-
ing his curling stones with him, but
on arrival there was no sign of the
Hensall sleigh so he continued on
the way, and was. in Egmbndville

them to go on, that he was there
now. The distance would 'be around
7 miles and I, through curiosity,
weighed one of the same pair of cur-

year.
After all is said and done I can
confidently say that one of the best
bargains he ever made was when he
got Helen Shirray for a wife and
helpmate in his business and life. As
I can confidently say that my mother
was one .of the ,hardest working, eco-
nomical, painstaking women that ev-
er lived in the 'district. Another
thing just came to may mind and than
was a pair of pet coons that they us-
ed to have about in early days, and
ane day the coone could net be seen
anywhere and a man by the name of
Bill S'mi'th happened to be working
there at th.e time and he told mother
if she had any maple sugar around
she had better go and lack, so she did
and here she found the coons. This
happened in the old log house, Again
I remember an old doy they used
to have. His name was "Tiger," and
he would go anywhere and bring up
the cows. One year the creek was
over -flowing its banks and the cattle
had got across and mother told Tiger
to fetch up the cows and the thresh-
ing machine.'being at my father's. at
the time, there were a good number
Iof omen there and at their supper
when the dog got domemands to bring
up the cows. Well the men got up
from the table to watch Tiger bring
up the cows_ My ine:her said he
forced them through the creek one
at e time and the men wen'e well sat-
isfied with the performed task of
Tiger, nearly 70 years ag'' • I re-
member well of seeing my father go-
ing rbo 'kill that old deg when his
teeth were all gone. He took a small
heavy round firewrood stick and go t
straddle of the deg and fully ex-
pe'cbed 'one good knock on the head
would finish him, but he struck him
a dozen tunes and he howled to the
last and he took other means to. fin-
ish Tiger. I remember well one spring
when the snow was going fast and
the creek flooded the flats. when the
freshet was Iona, of a big jam pile of
trees and all kinds 'of big logs break-
ing a'w'ay up in the next far'mt, and
all cane down in the flolod and were
left over the flats when the creek
Dowered, I remember of the former
owner coming along and wanted
to
take away the good tnmbes,
farther told him if he Hook the good
he was to take the rest also, so he
left all where it. rested.
My father did not devote all his
time to work and business, as when
he came to America he went to a
Mr. Henry in Edinburg who was a
great gun 'maker at the time, and af-
ter a friendly talk my father took his
leave of Mr, Henry whlom he had.
made an acquaintance •prdvieu5 to
this, carrying with him one of the
finest double barreled shot guns he
made, so he must have liked a gun. I
may say that Thomas Shillinglaw us-
ed to come and get the ]loan oe that
gun for a 'gorodly number of years to
shoot at shooting matches, and 1
never knew the .gun to be refused to
any 'good careful man while ma fa-
ther was alive. He was not desirous
of obtaining public positions. One
time a number of the neighbors ap-
proached him and wanted him to run
for councillor, but he refused and I
think it was John Shepherd who told
him they wauld /put him in and he
said if they did s'o the waould buy his
way out again. It used to cost about
$5 to do so. He used to keep sheep
and one of them was a big ram, a
great bunter. He o`wnecl one of the
first 'buggies in the community and
it was the 'only one he ever owned.
He also had one of the first hay load-
ers and also a. hay tedder. He got
'those' things about 1886 and the bug -
by about 1870. I have heard my
miather say that she only smelt
whiskey on my father once and that
time he had been at Heneall and had
a drink and started for home walk-
ing. First he came in contact with
John McFarlane and his gang doing
road work and they had a jug and

appeared on the scene and seeing the
circumstance, he said, "Hold on, men,
and I will put in therm/ tugs." And
do you know, lie put in all the tags
and the colts never lifted' a foot. I
think there is as much room and call
for that as ever there was. An il-

he had to drink; then farther en he
came into another 'bunch and they al-
ai had a jug aid of course he had
to drink again. Hee had to drink with
those fellows 'or they would not have
liked it. I can sure say that this sort
of life and hospitality was a great
thing in the early pioneer days. Choice
whiskey used to cost about 25 cents
a gallon and likely del'iveredd if re-
quired. Another case that I saw
myself must be passed on. This hap-
pened about, 1882. 'My father had a
span of molts, carriage type, to break
in; they were eamtin'g 4 year's old and
were 'being broken now for the first.
He employed two a'trong able, good
horsemen to 'break in those two colts.
The first day they hitched one colt
at a time with an 'older horse and
'had them both fairly 'handy by night.
So the next day they were hitching
the dolts together when they got the
colts in front of the sleigh and the
tongue in the neckyolke and went ..to
get the tugs to hook them onto the
