A good fcncc is an absolute necessity. What ls worth raising is worth protecting,

flail." They had to carry thegrain on their backs for miles to a grist mill to get it ground. They had no horses for some years as there was no food for them. Each family man- iagedto keep acow or two; their ifood being mainly the moss and grasses in the forest also the buds of beech and birch trees on which they thrived wonderfully. One special hardship was the want of water. Although the settlement is well watered by two branches cf what ls known as Browns _Creek flowing through it, some of the set- tlers had to carry the water a dis- tance ot‘ half a mile until such a time as they dug wells. They found water abundantly at nil average depth of forty feet. To supply them- selves with clothes they depended almost entlrely upon their own re- sources. The wool from the sheep they raised was manufactured into clothes at home by the women. To explain the carding. skinning. weav- ing. fulling and tailoring would take a page each. Even the dye was taken from plants and the bark of trees. ‘ - .

That this linen was of good qual- ity is proved by the fact that Ill many of tho homes are found table cloths of beautiful patterns. sheets ar/I other articles which were mace from home grown flax. The flux was sown about the last of May in small patches oi‘ well manurcd‘ ground. It was necessary to sow it very thickly so that the fibres would not be too coarse.

It grew to a height of two or three feet. When ripe it was laicl Ill layers on the ground to dry or sca- son.

After three or four weeks it was gathered in bundles and stored away until late in the fall.

Then it was placed on small poles fivc or six feet above a fire built in a very thick growth of spruce. and dried so hard so that it could be hackled into fibres ready forispinll- ing into thread. Whcn spun It was threaded In a loom and woven into linen cloth.
