WHEN BUTTER WAS 11c POUND
AND EGGS c A DOZ.
CLANDEBOYE, March 10.—In the
days of our grandfathers, and even in
our fathers' time, papers were "pa-
pers" not to be lightly destroyed, .bat
kept in some special receptacle, quite
often in a cheat that had come over-
seas with some ancestor of respected
memory, and therefore kept for sent-
imental reasons as well as forits use-
fulness. These "papers" often in-
clude memoranda of various transac-
tions, receipted bills and often old
letters, and a rummage among them
shows the great changes which time
has brought about, and often the par-
tial history and progress of a com-
munity cante traced by:these old ac-
counts. They make interesting read-
ing, especially when the families con-
cerned are closely connected with the
poineer life of the townships, as tn
the following list:
The oldest bill to hand is an ac-
count with the late Dennis Sutton,
whom the oldest residents of the vil-
lage will rememberas farmer, saw-
mill owner and storekeeper in those
early days of Biddulph and McGilliv-
ray. At his store prices ran as fol-
lows: In May of 1864 a dollar bought
eight pounds of sugar, in July
lbs. and and in Sept. 9 lbs. In Mar.
of 1865 the dollar bought 10 lbs. • In
1864 tea cost $1 a pound and in -1865
87% c--quito a pleasing reduction
for layers of that very mild stimu-
lant. Tobacco in 1864 cost 37Vac a
lb., and in 1865 only 32c a lb. whicb
was quite proper since the ladies got
their tea cheaper. Raisins cost 20c
a pound, timothy seed 6c per n.,
calf boots were $3.50 per pair, fact-
ory cotton and linen both cost 30c a
yard, mohair cloth 25 to 35c per yd.
flannel 50c a yard. One of these bills
shows that the farmer's wife obtain-
ed the princely sum of 11c per lb. for
butter. Shades of my beloved grand-
mothers! My respect for those dear
old ladies increases daily. They
milked the tows "set" the milk in
basswood or maple "keelers" (mostly
basswood, for it could be worked. up
more easily.) Tin pans and crocks
were conveniences of a later day. The
milk was to be skimmed and the
cream made into butter in a "dash"
churn, the product washed and salted
and lugged for dear knows how far
through the clearings to the store!
One wonders how far the 11 cents
went towards curing the backaches.
And how did those grandmothers
manage to ina,ke both ends meet and
keep the middle from sagging?At the
saline time eggs sold for about 6 or 7
cents a dozen, but of course the hen
had- not reached the high position
she now holds. The present aristo-
cratic inhabitants of the hen house
would go on strike at the mere sug-
gestion of such low wages.
An account. with. Wm. Enston
(whose gristmill was accidently burn -
later on) shows that in 1871 flour
varied in price per 100 1bs.—$2.60,
$2.75 and $3.00. Shorts cost 96c for
100 lbs. In 1879 flour was from $2.-
50 to $2.60 per cwt. and barley chop
was $1.10, Butcher Mlle in 1878
quote meat prices as follows: Roasts
from 8 to 10c per lb., steak 10c, and
boiling pieces '7e, and in the same
year butter had jumped to 17c per lb,
Blacksmith work seemed to keep
On about the same level during the
last 46 or 50 years until prices -were
upset by the great war.
An, old tax receipt for 1867 gives
evidence that the settlers were not
badly overtaxed in that year, the tax
on a 75 -acre farm being a little over
10c pm' afire. The tax on that same
land in 1721 svas between 80 and DOc
per acre. Old papers give some very
interesting data about taxpaying th
the earlicat times in 'the county.
Name -after mania' of men who paid
their rivet taxes by bringing one Or
