Farmers Made Sport
Of Their Work, Life
Lift' nnd work on forms
More nnd after the He volu

Miming and often back-break
ing
To relieve the monotony of
this labor, curly farmers often
made sport of their tasks,
p irtirulnrlv at harvest time
1 sen into the mid-1800‘s.
iradlmg was stdl the general
method of grain harvesting A
skilled irmller uv erased about

champion Pennsylvania crad
It r was pul to the test From
sunup to sunset one day, he
tradled 12 1 acres, harvesting
1 IHO sheaves of wheat When
flailed, it yielded 262 bushels
of grain The one man kept
four other men busy binding
the sheaves behind him
Some large farmers used
horses to thresh gram On one
farm. 24 horses were hitched
in four spans of six each and
were trotted over wheat
sheaves in a circle 400 feet in
circumference A total of 416
bushels of wheal were so
threshed in a single day It
seems the threshing overseer
had a bet with a neighboring
farmer
Sickles were used in the
1700’s to cut wheat Upwards
of 100 people might t e found
working in a field One
day, 20 acres of wheat were
cut and sheaved by noon

v day One farmer
accustomed to the tradition
made a bet in a Philadelphia
tavern that he could drink a
gallon of Cyder Hoyall within
an hour and a half Me did and
after exclaiming. ' I finished
it." fell down and expired
While most early livestock
was seriously neglected, a fat
cattle crure developed between
1790 ond 1830 Animals were
force fed year-round with In
dun corn meal, ground oats,
potatoes, pumpkins and hay
just to see how large a speci
men could be raised About
IKOO. one farmer exhibited an
ox six feet high weighing more
than 3 000 pounds Another
had a si\-vear-old steer weigh
ing 2.387 pounds
After metal plows became
perfected, contests were held
One noteworthv accomplish
ment was the ' ploughing" of
three sixteenths of an acre of
herd and timothy sward seven
inches deep in 21 minutes
Kven the sire of family
gatherings became somewhat
competitive Large families
were practical to provide the
labor needed on a farm and
families of 16 to 18 children
were common Some gather
ings included 150 children,
grandchildren and great
grandchildren
One farmer proclaimed his
good fortune to have his wife
have twins, his cow two calves
and his ewe two lambs all in
one night in the month of
March
