REMINISCENCES Of EABLY DAYS
By Mrs. O. Baynard, Ethel, At The
Women's Institute, On October 18th
When the eat settler
mo0utty first took upearly
land sand brills
their shanties the untry beingallbush they cleared the laud with the
use of a1 axe by chopping the timber
down and cutting it lute leugtbs and
burning it. The ashes were gathered'
and put into leeches, water was put
on them to run off the lye which was
boiled down into what they called
black salts and taken to market.
That was the only way they had of
obtaining money till they got their
land cleared. Now, in reference to
their houses the roofs of the shanties
were made of troughs, hewn out with
an axe. First there was a row placed
with the trough side up and then a
raw ou•the top with the trough side
down, so as to run the water into the
trough underneath. The troughs
would necessatily be open at the end,
The wails of the shanties were of
course made of logs, the cracks being
stuffed with moss. Chimney was
built of sticks and mortar in atriangu-
lar shape, mortar, was made of mud
and straw tramped by the oxen.
There were large flat stones at the
bottom of the fireplace;
Bread was /baited in' a large iron
pot with three legs and a lid. 33nb
coals were put under it and on the
lid and it was turned around often.
Meat was generally boiled. There
were lots of potatoes and vegetables
such as cow -cabbage, lambs quarter,
wild plums and currants. The only
sugar they had was simple sugar,
boiled in iron kettles and cooled in
small, axe hewn, troughs.
One time a woman going along the
road walking, called at my grand-.
mother's house and asked for some-
thing to eat. Grandmother said she
had nothing but potatoes in the
louse, The visitor said' site could eat
potato with a cupful of tea. So she
at down and nearly finished ail the
ea in a tea 'pot that held 15 cups,
At that time they had to carry their
our from London, a distance of 25
miles. When uncle used to go to
snndou for flour he would brings two
age by carrying one a short distance
ettieg it down and then going back
or the other but after mother was
varied they had oxen. Then they
would go with the Ox-tearn for flour
nd nater provisions. There were
0ts of wild animals and Indians surf
other with two or three babies,
bayed alone ab home anxiously look -
for father's return.
u.
I'urui r .
to ern those days was trade
with nothing but an axe and an auger.
he chairs were benches with 4 pegs
r lags. Bedstead consisted of a pole
each sidei
and 2
Dies ea t each end
riven into holes lir the 4 upright
oste. Bottom of the bed were slabs
lit with the axe, the same as the
001' of the shanty.
The women would card wool, spin
and someone 10 the ueighbo•hood
ould weave it, into cloth, which made
itiitiful dresses and men's shits:
They made their pens for writing
It of wild birds' feathers, not having
1y geese or turkeys,
The way of tn•ayelling when 1 was a
tie girl was in a Cart with two oxen..
1e two -wheeled cart had a high box
nand ie and we sat in the bottom. I
member one tittle we were going to

The Local Option workers in Yoek
township have neer with u serious
difficulty. There are on the voters'
list 0280 names of these '3321 are
names of non-residents who have no
right to vote on Local Option. They
aro scattered all over the country,
many being holders of small building
lots Bold by silted i eiders, There ase.
no fewer than 237 post offices in the
list of their addresses. To onevaee
thern'fot' signatures to a petition is
manifestly impracticable. To Compel
submission of 'Locai Option it ne
necessary t0 have twenty-five per
cent of the whole voters list, and the
001110e must nearly: all be secured - a
among those who are residents, The
township council refuses to submit a
by-law unless the seventy-five per
cent is procured and under the
circumstances this is hardly passible.
