The following article, deseriptive of
early farming life in New England, very
well describes pioneer life ut Western
Canadal; I
An unknown correspondent writes us
from, Illinois staggesting the above tie the
subject of an artiele,las specially adapted
to this Centennial yeer, and one calculat-
ed to inspire young farmers -with love for
• their noble calling and the agein which
they li red He wishes us to Speak of the
workin s of the old farmers of New ng -
land among stumps and stones, with
;clumsy wooden plows drawn by OXOii,
• reaping grain with sickks, threshing it
with flails. and win owing it with fans,
! mowing grass with scythes and raking it
I with handra,kes, sh lling corn by hand
r
: or on the edge ofa
, ollovel, the distant
and poor markets, and the still poorer
' roads over Which' produce was hauled by
horsepower ; also, Of the household, the
frugal style of living, dress and equip-
, age ; the schools) churches, newspapers
1 and general social privileges and culture.
' We well remember the old plow with its
iron share, wooden mold -board, straight
beam and almost' perpendicular handles,
the ironwork made by the blacksmith
a,nd the wooden parts by the farmer. To
keep the rnold•boarid from wearing out
with one day's use, strip of old hoop.
iron were nailed iipen it, and sometimes
an old horse-shoe: was nailed or. to
strengthen a Worn place ; but oh ! what
friction and doggies; these clumsy and
unscou ring plows occasioned ! A dyne-
mometre was au instrument unknown in
those days, so that jave had no mode of
ascertaining the fore() required for.draft ;
brit it must have been great, for the ox-
en, often two pairs, were constantly
goaded by their driver, who whipped
' them almost incessantly, and yelled out,
" Who, hau, geo,7 a command which
•tnust have puzzled thc stupid animals to
obey. , Neither • the sharp lash nor the
.lond words produe d mueh effect upon
tough -hided, slow moving beasts, to
whom both had bloom obsolete from
too frequent Use.
The harrows,:as elumsy and heavy as
the tlows,were.generally homennade, the
.-
Isla° smith doing the iron work apparent-
ly with a desire to create a market for
iron, for the braces were stout fellows and
the teeth of the Goliath pattern. These
' old-fashioned harrow's were called drags,
, and they were rightly :named, for they
' were a great drag upon the poor oxen.
s . What the old .drag was to the beast the
• old hoe was to the Man. "Dull as an old
hoe " was a favorite comparison, and
; heavy as an eld hoe would be an equally
• true one. Thio implement was made by
, the blacksmith, an4 had no grace nor pol-
, ish but plenty of strength and weight.
At the top was a h le called the eye, two
inches, more or less in diameter, through
which a sappling %VcL3 put and wedged that
served as a handle Didn't that rough
' handle blister one's hands ! and didn't
the old hoe try cnie' patience by coming
off occasionally ! Aj new wedge remedied
this latter trouble, but there was no rem-
edy for the tired mercies caused by hand-
ling such a dull, lie• vy tool all day.
Time fails us to go into partieulars
about all the old fa in implements, nor is
it necessary. Siekl s, scythes', and flails
are not entirely obs lete yet, but we must
say a - word ab ut the 'old farm
wagons. These vere often home-
made, and els s thade " to
