THE WELLS
(BY .REV:: •DUNCAN McTAVISH).
• Among the scene's„ of my child-
hood were two wells; one at the
house and the other at the
barn. groin these, water was taken
to nourish life for both man and;
beast... The land on the old home
stead was of sand and gravel com-
position to a depth of ten feet or
thereabout. Then came a clay
ridge: ,The water drained through.
the sand to the clay and ,these wells
were dug.down through. "the clay a.
short distance torpovide a reservoir
In,dry times this reserve some-
times.gave out and water had to be
secured elsewhere. The well at the
barn was cribbed 'with stone,. but
the one near' the house had a
wooden crib of hemlock lumber:
In due tithe this wooden structure
rotted and had to be replaced with
cement. Asa young man, I under-
took this task. Before doing. so,. 1
lowered the clay reservoir. a 'couple:'
more feet” so.as.to.enlarge the`
reserve Supply. Then, making a
.false 'crib of inch, lumber, 1' poured.
in some three or. four inches of
concrete filled in with, soil as`
same nearer.:the top !mat,.finally
the'work was complete. and aperr
manent crib had replaced the orig-
.
final.:
Both wells have long since. been
filled in to 'avoid cattle falling• to
and being lost But as. a boy those
fells. were mighty important plac
les • They :formed , the basis of the
one commodity which the early
pioneers had to have asthey made.
a home in the wilderness.
Back:from:the hill about forty rod.
stood the; old slog house and. nearby
was another well where my,
ancestors•found wager to quench
their thirst. This well could boast
a stone crib which was eventually
filled in to avoid accidents..Fro.m
these wells ;my forebearers'drew
water to sustain. life. With a pail
of this lifegivingfluid to which
was added a bit of oatmeal, the
sturdy'men of the forest went forth
to the fields to: labor from dawn
