one day a year to crafts and practices by which the early settlers of these parts were required of necessity to maintain their precarious liv ing there was the woodsman he wing the log to the line with his broad axe it made one think of the labour which was involved in clearing this heav ily timbered land to make room for a cabin and the first small plot on which to grow a few bags of wheat and potatoes there was the blacksmith un der the spreading maple tree beside the old red brick school- house now the museum he was pounding out a horseshoe almost a forgotten art like the making of all the old tools and implements which were the pride of the craftsmen and the tillers of the land in the far off days there was the stonemason punching holes in a large field stone prepatory to splitting it and nearby was the big cum bersome stonelifter once used for clearing the boulders off the fields and setting them up to form a fence a team of hor ses with a load of grain shea ves was drawn alongside a deering threshing machine and the separation of the grain from the straw was witnessed by many for the first time then we saw the dairymaids cranking their little churn it still worked for there was the batch of newmade butter to prove it it is said that the settlers co ming in from pennsylvania brought some cows with them and the women were assisted in their churning by the jolting of the crude wagons on their rough passage through the bush we saw the women spinning yarn weaving the cloth for garments making rugs and quilts and collecting the home grown herbs for seasoning and
