Farm Women Of 19th Century Required Skill And Stamina By JEAN SHARP CP Women's Editor TORONTO (CP) The agenda of a day in the life of a Canadian farm woman in the 19th century provides some idea of how the settlers got their reputation for hard work. It is also an indication of how much a housewife had to know or learn, If she needed a pair of socks or a candle she probably began with a | sheep.

Most settlers came to Canada from more sophis- ticated surroundings where textiles, for instance, were easily available in stores and were not customarily made at home. Even when goods had begun to be available in Can- ada, transportation difficulties were formidable, costs often high. Women's days began with ashes and fires and enormous breakfasts. "After breakfast you might get bread set to bake. You would do the first mixing and set it aside to rise. "If you planned washing, you would begin. to heat kettles over the fireplace or on the stove, if you were lucky enough to have one. "If the cream was on the | turn--ready to turn sour--you would churn that day, You would begin by pouring boil- ing water into the churn. Heat speeds up churning. "We've made butter at the village with 12 to 15 minutes churning. We've also churned for two hours and haven't got it. You have to know when the cream is just right. Nor- mally 10 minutes to half an hour's churning would give you about two gallons of but- ter. This was a job children could do if you had children the right age." Servants were scarce, but Mrs. Duncan says there were more family members to be pressed into service, includ- ing children, grandparents and unmarried sisters. "About two hours before the final kneading of your bread, you would light the bake oven. You put in kind- ling and hardwood, lit it, let it burn and kept stoking it. When you were ready to put the bread in you cleaned out the ashes. "There were several tests for heat. You could put your hand in and if you could hold it there to, say, the count of seven, the oven was the right temperature. "You could put flour on the peel (the board bread was baked on) or the oven shovel and see how quickly it browned. Some women used a feather to see how quickly it scorched. tes "When the wash water was hot enough, you put it in a wooden wash tub and scrub- bed the clothes on a scrub board that was often wooden, To dry them you hung them on the fence or spread them on the grass.

"While you were doing these things you also got two 8 big meals for the men, prob- ably using just food from your own farm and the area. Salt pork was the commonest meat, but the forests yielded more than we think about now in the way of meat and fruit." In the fall when the slaugh- tering was done, most of the year's supply of candles had to be made from tallow rend- ered down from animal fat. It as another chore children helped with.
