From the time of the first settlement of the town to the end of the century there was no necessity for common laborers to go from home to obtain work. Clearing and cultivating the land and the labors inci- dent to a new settlement gave employment to all who wished to work. About the beginning of the present century many of the young men began to look to other places for temporary employment and perma-

nent homes. Some went to Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and some to Canada. A few went to Maine and some drifted down to Massachusetts. For a limited time many went to the St. Lawrence river in Canada and worked at boating on that river. Others went down to Connecticut river towns and labored at farming, others went to Boston and vicinity and worked at gardening, trucking, drawing a hand cart, or found employment on board a fishing vessel. The expense of riding in a coach was too great for these men in going to and returning from these places of temporary abode. A common practice for a young man was to take a few articles of clothing, do them up in a bundle, swing it on his back and walk.
Between the years 1810 and 1820 a large number of the women in Swanzey were engaged in weaving cotton cloth in hand looms. Some men made a business of going to Rhode Island with a team for the yarn, distributing it to the weavers in the different families and gath- ering up the cloth after it was woven.
Next to farming the most important business in Swanzey from first to last has been the working of pine into building material and wooden ware. The large quantity of superior old growth pine, when sawed into lumber, has always been an article of export. Saw mills were early built not only on the larger but on the smaller streams. In 1830, the number of sites where one of these mills stood or had stood was not less than fifteen. All of them were the old-fashioned sash mills.
For many years about this date an extensive business was carried on in transporting lumber to Northfield where it was " rafted " down the Connecticut river, finding a market at Springfield, Hartford and New Haven.
The mills were heavily stocked during the winter with pine logs and were often run day and night during the spring in cutting out the lumber. This, when seasoned, was "carted" (usually in May and June, August and September) to Northfield. This work was mostly done by farmers with ox teams. The route from East Swanzey was by the B. F. Lombard and Atkinson places through Westport and Winchester and over the Northfield hills, making a long and laborious trip occupying the larger part of two days. A brake on the wagon was not then used, a temporary pole between the pairs of cattle being supplied to assist in holding back in going down the steep grades.
The teams ordinarily consisted of two pairs of oxen, sometimes only one pair and a horse, and sometimes three pairs. The teamsters expended but little money on the road, food for both themselves and teams being carried from their homes. But very little grain was fed

GENERAL OUTLINE HISTORY.
by farmers to cattle in those days, hay being used almost exclusively for fodder.
Most farmers at this period kept an ox team, and most had more or less pine timber on their lands. The sale of this timber year by year and the money they received from the lumbermen for teaming gave them the means of paying their taxes and furnishing the necessary supplies for their families.
The making of split and shaved pine shingles was an important in- dustry in the town for many years. The excellent pine timber was well adapted to this business.
Early in the present century machines for sawing pointed shingles were introduced. By a self-setting arrangement, they would saw from each end of a block first a butt end of a shingle then the pointed end. The block to be sawed was held in position by dogs. There were four or five of these machines in operation at the same time previous to the introduction of the pail business. The merchants in the town were generally dealers in shingles.
For a long time after the town was settled good pine timber was of but little value, and large, coarse and defective trees of no value. These worthless trees were generally left standing to avoid the labor of cutting. After a piece of timber land had been cut over it was generally burned, purposely or accidentally, and all the trees not pre- viously dead would be killed. As late as 1830 large numbers of these trees could be seen in almost all directions, some of them retaining their bark and limbs and some entirely destitute of them, presenting nothing but a tall black stump. These old trees gave the town in many places a very disagreeable appearance and where they stood in mowing lands they were a constant annoyance by the falling of limbs and bark. For a long time the constant springing up of young pines was a great trouble to the farmers. It took but a few years for many of the pastures to become so much covered with them that they would be worthless for grazing purposes. No one appeared to think that any benefit would be derived by letting them grow. It was an indi- cation of a shiftless farmer to see his pastures covered with small sap- ling pines. Many acres of pines of a larger growth, such as would now be very valuable for timber, were cut and burned on the ground merely to get them out of the way.
The farmers at this period endeavored to produce large quantities of corn, rye, potatoes, beef and pork. They bought but little flour, grain or wheat. They cultivated large areas of land and manured sparingly, generally in the hill, instead of spreading broadcast.

HISTORY OF SWANZEY.
For the raising of money by the sale of grain, oats were relied up- on more than corn or rye. They were always in demand by those who kept public houses. Oats were generally sown upon land when it was seeded to grass, and upon land which had previously been planted with potatoes and corn. The condition of the hay fields at this time (1830) and the tools used made haying a season of intensely hard labor. Most of the labor-saving machines now in use on the farm had never been heard of. Much of the mowing land, especially on the hills, was thickly set with stumps and sandwiched with stones. The first crops of grass and grain on this primitive soil were very stout, but continual cropping with slight manuring, had so diminished the fertility that much of the hay crop was very light-hardly worth gathering. . Most farmers had then, as now, more or less meadow land, but this was often quite remote from the homestead. There was al- ways winter rye to be harvested ; extensive fields of which were upon new ground and had to be reaped. With all the help that could be obtained it took usually not less than six or seven weeks to finish the haying and the harvesting. Men went into the field at sunrise, and they were fortunate if their work was done before sundown. Men and boys did not do all the farm work during haying, some women and girls worked in the hay fields in the afternoon about as constantly as the men ; and others that did not work in the field drove up the cows and milked them.
Quite a large quantity of cider was drank at this time. There were but few men that did not use it. There were probably as many as a dozen cider mills in the town that were kept constantly in use during the fall to make the annual supply of cider. The old-fashioned mill ; the horse attached to the end of the sweep, slowly circling around, turning the fluted rollers, the jaws of which received the apples as they descended from the hopper ; the peculiar squeak of these timbers as they revolved and received the apples in their embrace ; the numer- ous barrels about the establishment ; the loads of apples ; the piles of straw and pumice ; the boy with a straw in his mouth bending over the barrel sucking the newly made beverage ;- this was the picture two generations ago. Some farmers placed yearly, from ten to thirty barrels of cider in their cellars.
Home-made woollen clothes for men and women, boys and girls, were made in the families of most farmers. For making the wool in- to rolls two sets of machinery were run by water power ; one at East the other at West Swanzey. There were but few women that could not use the spinning wheel for making the rolls into yarn. For mak-

ing stockings, flannels and frocking, the yarn was colored by the women. Cloth that was designed for men's and boys' clothing was woven from uncolored yarn. This cloth went to the clothier to be fin- ished. The finishing consisted in fulling, coloring, shearing and pressing. The clothier's trade was one of the important trades of the time. Years of apprenticeship were required to learn it. There were clothiers' mills at East and West Swanzey, Factory Village, Westport and at Swanzey Pond. For an establishment it required a good- sized building, water power and expensive machinery. Men's and boys' woollen clothes were made mostly by women tailors, going from house to house to do the work.
Farmers would take the hides of their slaughtered cattle to the tan- ner and have them tanned for their own use. In payment they would be quite likely to sell some hemlock bark if such they had. Most of the tanning for the people of the town was done by Capt. Levi Blake. The making of boots and shoes gave employment to many men, whose shops were located in different parts of the town. Some of these men made a practice of going to the homes of the people and doing the family shoemaking. Many farmers had a few shoemakers' tools and did their own cobbling.
The raising and working of flax ceased previous to 1830. At this time but few persons rode horseback as their fathers and mothers had done fifty years before. Wheel carriages had been brought into gen- eral use. A common wagon and a nice chaise were the ordinary ve- hicles. The wagons were made with a framed body which was set solid on wooden axletrees. The seats rested on wooden arm-springs attached to timber sill springs. The wagons were made with skeaned wooden axletrees, and the wheels were fastened upon the axletrees with linch-pins. The chaise of those times was a nice well-made car- riage. It was too expensive for most people to have. Of those per- sons in town who did have such a carriage were Rev. E. Colman, Hon. E. Belding, Hon. E. Carpenter, Maj. E. Page, Capt. Levi Blake, Capt. Benj. Brown, Capt. David Holbrook, Amos Bailey, Esq., Israel Stan- ley, Alexander Perry and Alvah Thompson.
There were two meeting houses in town, the one at the Centre was what is now the town-house, and the one at West Swanzey was the present Baptist church. A very fair proportion of the people at- tended service at one or the other of these houses. Nearly all were farmers with their families. Many of these farmers kept mares from which they raised colts. During church hours on Sundays these ani- mals might be seen hitched under the horse sheds, shade trees and to

the fences. The invariable rule was to have two services and a long intermission between them. Sunday schools had not been established, so there was nothing better for the boys to do during intermission than to look at the colts and ascertain which was the most valuable. After the services were out, in bringing the teams to the doors, the colts would be full of frolic, get away from their mothers and go off with strange horses. Such scenes were annoying to the men but they made fun for the boys.
Wages were low compared with those of the present day. Men would work on a farm or teach school for ten or fifteen dollars a month ; would work with a pair of oxen logging in the winter for a dollar and twenty-five cents a day ; women at house work or school-teaching would receive a dollar and a half or two dollars per week.
As most of the important records of town affairs of the present century are more appropriately given in other chapters, but few will be inserted here.
In 1833, on the question of the revision of the State Constitution : 164 voted yes, and 24 no. Since then when the question has been before the people of the town they have generally voted no.
In 1836, on question of the State making an appropriation for an Insane Hospital : yes, 25 ; no, 76.
In 1837, town voted to receive its share of surplus money from U. S. government : yes, 112; no, 66. Elijalı Carpenter was chosen agent to receive and loan said money in sums not exceeding $300 nor less than $50, giving the people of the town the preference in making the loans.
In 1844, vote on abolishing capital punishment : yes, 111 ; no, 184.
In 1854, a determined effort was made by the people in the north- east part of the town to have their territory, including the Factory Village and what is now Spragueville, disannexed from Swanzey and joined to Keene ; but after a fair hearing before a committee of the legislature the project failed to be accomplished.
The following-named persons were taxed in Swanzey for the first time in the following years :
