James Ross (1869-1953)
1894-1895 Diary
Transcribed by Rural Diary Archive Volunteers
1894 Farm Journal and Account Book
October 8 Monday morning cold and cloudy and remained so during the day. Willie
Sanderson and his father came up home early this morning the former to help up with our
potatoes and the latter to endeavor to sell us one of his diggers. We bought the plow and
digger combined and of our seventeen rows of potatoes we took up nine rows and got
between fifty or sixty bushels. In the evening I went to the R. T of T. Bought of Wm
Sanderson his combined plow and potato digger for $15 payable in two payments one $7.50
the incoming winter and the other $7.50 a year later {in column} @$5.00
9 Cloudy day. In the forenoon I hauled three loads of hardwood to G D. Fergusson
amounting in all to nearly three cords for which I received eleven dollars in the afternoon I
worked at the drain in the field at the north side of railway at Ferndale, while Willie drew out
some manure for Mr Mills then went to Strathross and harrowed some land which we had
plowed out of sod two inches deep. {in column} G 11.00
10 Cold cloudy and very rainy looking all day. I finished the drain I was at yesterday and
Willis plowed in the field in the forenoon in the afternoon we plowed in the same field (no. 3
of Ferndale?) next the bush breaking up a piece of new land in the centre of the field
composed of swamp muck full of roots and some stumps. It is exceedingly slow work and
one is kept busy picking out the roots etc. Wm Shortreed got a pig from us last night and I
went over to see it weighed this morning. It went 84 lbs dressed and at 6 cent a lb came to C
5.04 {this is a farm journal so the 5 appears in a separate column from the 04 }
11 Cold, cloudy and looked like rain and indeed was raining some in the morning later on in
the day the sun shone and the sky cleared but it continued windy and at intervals clouded
over and rained a little. The District Council R T of T {Royal Templars of Temperance} was
held in Fergus to-day. This puts me in mind that yesterday I received from the Whitehead
and Hoag Co. a badge and catalogue of badges in return for which I am to try and get an
order from our Council. The badge is reversible a device which is but recently patented by
the Co. one side is for funeral parade and the other side is for ordinary wear I am well
pleased with it. To return to the D.C. being convenor of the billeting committee I went to the
�
9:20 train to meet the delegates. There were a rather small number and they were easily
disposed of. We had the
October 11 {1894 written vertically} District Councillor for tea. Willie plowed in field No. 3 in
AM and harrowed at Strathross in PM the land we plowed shallow and intend plowing again
this fall. We delivered 5 pigs which we had previously sold to Cassie for $4.50 per cwt. four
of them had been kept in the pen and one outside along with four others the pen fed ones
were fatter but as they were weighed in a bunch we had no means of finding their respective
weights. They weighed 760 lbs which at $4.50 comes to $34.20 minus 10 cts for weighing C
$34.10 {in column}
12 Raining in the morning and had been during the night. We plowed in field No.3 - finished
the piece of new land and almost finished the rest of the field. Willie brought up eight
chickens from Wm Bergens last night which we gave $1.50 for 1.50 {in column}we also each
got a hat yesterday at 50 cts each {1.00 in column} Wm. Shortreed also got another pig last
night
13 Cold day and cloudy Dr Robertson superintendent missions of North West preached in
the forenoon and gave a very interesting account of the progress of mission in the N.W.
14 Very cold in the morning a quite thick ice on the tub of water at the new well
Kept cold and windy with occasional glimpses of sunlight during the day. I went to Strathross
with Dick in the light waggon to work at the open ditch across the thirty two acre pasturefield
and took up my dinner. Willie finished the plowing on field No. 3 {unknown symbol} in the
forenoon and in PM he harrowed at Strathross the shallowed plowed sod previously
mentioned elsewhere. I went to the {R.T of T?} concert at night admission ten cents D.10 {in
column}
16 Not quite so cold to-day more sunshine. I worked at the open ditch in the forenoon with
Lucy and in PM with Dick additional. Willie harrowed in the forenoon what he was at
yesterday and in PM he drove up Mary and Bella to the orchard with Cleve and they picked
the rest of the apples a little over two bags the crows having eaten a large number of them. I
wrote out a few thoughts on the debate that is to come off at the {R.I of I?} next Monday
"Resolved that the Negro has suffered more at the hands of the White man than the A.
Indian. Wm. Shortreed took away another pig.
�
17 Fine sunny day but a cold wind. We took up six more rows of potatoes to-day a good
crop. Father got a letter from Mr Porter St. Joseph Island enquiring if we could sell lot 14 at
three dollars an acre. There is one hundred and fifty nine acres in the lot and we decided to
sell the whole for three an acre or fifty-nine next the lake for three and a half an acre.
October 18 Fine sunny day. We took up two rows of potatoes that were left from yesterday. I
worked at the open ditch at Strathross till about eleven o' clock when Wilson Mills came up
and got Lucy to go to his grandfather Wilson's funeral. In the spring we planted four kinds of
potatoes besides our main crop five pounds of Early Shamrock which yielded a bag and a
fifth ten pounds of North King, yield about the same as E.S. five or ten potatoes of Maggie
Murphy which yielded about 3/4 of a bag the best yield I think of any, and a milk dishful of
Rural New Yorkers yield 1 3/4 bags.
19 Fine day sunny and warm. We harrowed over the potato land again and got about two
bags after which Willie went to Salem with Dick in the lightwaggon and got 500 lbs flour for
$7.00 and a dollars worth of Bran and shorts.{D 8.00 in column}I worked at the open ditch
the rest of the day and Willie started to take up the mangols in the afternoon.
20 Fine day. I continued the open ditch for about 1 1/2 chains in a Northeast direction and at
right angles to the one I was furiously working at and finished yesterday we gave Mr Milne
two pigs worth 3.75 {D 3.75 in column}
October 20 which runs right across the field. Willie worked at the mangols to-day and we
brought a load home with us at night. When we got home we found that Effie a two year old
heifer had not been brought home with the cows and on search being made we found her in
the bush at Ferndale where she calved. A bull calf red and white and a good length which we
have named Sandy.
21 Sunday. Fine day Mr Craig preached in AM from {Jms?} 10:14, 15 and in evening a
discourse from 7th chapter of Esther.
22 Cloudy day rained in the evening. I fixed up the pig stys so as to shut up 5 of the young
pigs now over four weeks old in order to wean them and leave two with their mother. Willie
pulled mangols at Strathross and in PM I brought down two loads. In the evening I went to
{RT of T?} with my new badge and got orders from three brothers.
�
23 Looked like rain all day, it kept off but rained heavily through the night.I fixed at the
roothouse in the forenoon the floor of which had rotted Willie worked at the carrots. I went up
in PM with team and brought one load of mangols and one of carrots.
October 24 Fine day. I worked at pond at the bottom of green crop land at Strathross pulling
out the willows (*then started to plow across the green crop land through the pond then
across the oat stubble pea land and sod previously plowed shallow which is not well rotted.)
Willie worked at the turnips pulling and shaving them by hand. We brought down the rest of
the carrots about a load and a load of turnips.
25 Fine day I continued plowing and taking out willows. (*when I come to think of it I only
started plowing to-day) Willie worked at the turnips. We brought down a load of turnips at
noon and a load of corn at night. Bought 2 cow ties {D .20 in column}
26 Fine day between cloudy and sunny not cold. I plowed and worked at the willows in the
pond to-day. Willie pulled turnips we brought down two loads Yester Wednesday Louis
{Martyman?} a mason from Everton came to us in the field and gave us a tender for the barn
$1.10 for the whole job. I forgot to put this down for Wednesday
October 27 Fine day. We finished taking the willows of the pond. I continued plowing and
Willie worked at the turnips. We took two loads down to-day. In the morning I took Cleve
down to Dr Anderson as his leg was swollen the nigh hind leg. I got some liniment to rub on it
after washing it with warm water and drying thoroughly rubbing downwards. In the evening I
went down town and got $5.00 from Wm Shortreed as part payment for the pigs and I bought
{C 5.00 in column} in Draines a rat trap for 25 cts and 19cts of snaps and a {whatdoesit?} for
the end of a tug for 5 cts then I went to an auction sale of {Fardices?} books and bought Self
help, the Pilgrim Fathers and facts from Rome for 9 cts the combined expenditure amounting
to {D .58 in column note the 5 is obliterated with ink smudge}
28 Fine sunny day. Mr Craig preached a very practical sermon from Esther 8th chapter in the
forenoon and at night from the text thou art not far from the Kingdom of heaven. I gave 5cts
collection at C.E. at night {D.5 in column}
29 Fine sunny day. I plowed in the forenoon Willie shaved turnips instead of pulling and
Father pulled mustard out of the turnips in AM.
October 29 continued) In the afternoon Albert Sanderson helped us to {shaw?} pick turnips
we started a pit in the field. We put on the gravel box to haul to the pit as it enables us to
�
unload quickly. We brought down a load in the forenoon and at night a gravel box not quite
full. Thomas Wilkie got the dimensions of our barn to-day in order to put in a tender. I went to
RT of T at night expecting to debate the Negros versus A. Indians to come off but was
disappointed there are only sixteen present. I got another order for a badge Dr Anderson
came up at night to inspect our cows for tuberculosis but said we need not be alarmed as
they had only an attack of bronchitis and recommended that we put in a ventilator and
prescribed a half cupful of mustard of the consistency of cream to be rubbed into Rose's
neck every other night and also one teaspoonful of saltpeter in her food.
October 30 Raining to-day. I wrote a letter to Louis {D.3 in column} Martignom of Everton
asking him to send in a written tender for the barn. Geo. Bowley came over this
October 30 continued) morning and gave in his tender for the barn which i s $135 with board
and $160 without board. Rained more or less all day. I put a ventilator in the stable to-day
and Willie exchanged castings with Beatty Bros Manufacturing Co for the whole landside of a
Goody {name?} plow ours being broken. I advanced $200 on the RT of T per capita tax
which we sent away to-day and 13 cts postage. Bought 2 tie ropes 20 cts and 4 panes of
glass, putty etc {D $2.13 in column} {D .37 in column}
October 31 Cold and cloudy in the forenoon cleared off in the afternoon. I went with Dick in
the buggy up to Wm Clarks to make enquiries about the efficiency of Louis Mantignom as a
mason then I went over to see the cement flow in Jms Richardsons new barn. In the
afternoon we hauled turnips to the pit. We put the cattle in the barn during the night. We got
a clip for the harrows 10 cts. Rained heavily last night. {D .10 in column}
November 1 Cloudy day had rained slightly through the night and rained a little in the
forenoon. I plowed at Strathross in the forenoon with Lucy & Cleve as Dick has a sprained
hind foot. Willie shaved turnips. In the afternoon we had W&A Sanderson and we shaved the
rest of the turnips and hauled to the pit. We sold Goliath to W Shortreed for $25 and gave
him 10 bushels {C 25.00 in column}
November 1 continued) of turnips at 7cts a bushel 70 cts. I went down to Sandersons at night

4 Fine day cold Mr Craig finished his discourses on the book of Esther.
5 Cold day. Willie plowed to-day and I covered the pits in AM we took a load of corn into the
shed at Strathross in the afternoon I did sundry jobs. Uncle Willie with Cameron and Nellie

reduced to 5% and was successful. I went to RT &T at night
November 6 Cold day had snowed some through the night and snowed some through the
day. Willie plowed to-day. Uncle Willie went home. I bought a bit and two snaps for it to
attach to a halter for 15 cts. I took the sow to Laings in the afternoon {D1.15 in column}.
Wrote a letter to Louis Mantignom at night informing him that we would accept his offer

James Ross (1869-1953)
1894-1895 Diary
Transcribed by Rural Diary Archive Volunteers
1894 Farm Journal and Account Book
October 8 Monday morning cold and cloudy and remained so during the day. Willie
Sanderson and his father came up home early this morning the former to help up with our
potatoes and the latter to endeavor to sell us one of his diggers. We bought the plow and
digger combined and of our seventeen rows of potatoes we took up nine rows and got
between fifty or sixty bushels. In the evening I went to the R. T of T. Bought of Wm
Sanderson his combined plow and potato digger for $15 payable in two payments one $7.50
the incoming winter and the other $7.50 a year later {in column} @$5.00
9 Cloudy day. In the forenoon I hauled three loads of hardwood to G D. Fergusson
amounting in all to nearly three cords for which I received eleven dollars in the afternoon I
worked at the drain in the field at the north side of railway at Ferndale, while Willie drew out
some manure for Mr Mills then went to Strathross and harrowed some land which we had
plowed out of sod two inches deep. {in column} G 11.00
10 Cold cloudy and very rainy looking all day. I finished the drain I was at yesterday and
Willis plowed in the field in the forenoon in the afternoon we plowed in the same field (no. 3
of Ferndale?) next the bush breaking up a piece of new land in the centre of the field
composed of swamp muck full of roots and some stumps. It is exceedingly slow work and
one is kept busy picking out the roots etc. Wm Shortreed got a pig from us last night and I
went over to see it weighed this morning. It went 84 lbs dressed and at 6 cent a lb came to C
5.04 {this is a farm journal so the 5 appears in a separate column from the 04 }
11 Cold, cloudy and looked like rain and indeed was raining some in the morning later on in
the day the sun shone and the sky cleared but it continued windy and at intervals clouded
over and rained a little. The District Council R T of T {Royal Templars of Temperance} was
held in Fergus to-day. This puts me in mind that yesterday I received from the Whitehead
and Hoag Co. a badge and catalogue of badges in return for which I am to try and get an
order from our Council. The badge is reversible a device which is but recently patented by
the Co. one side is for funeral parade and the other side is for ordinary wear I am well
pleased with it. To return to the D.C. being convenor of the billeting committee I went to the
�
9:20 train to meet the delegates. There were a rather small number and they were easily
disposed of. We had the
October 11 {1894 written vertically} District Councillor for tea. Willie plowed in field No. 3 in
AM and harrowed at Strathross in PM the land we plowed shallow and intend plowing again
this fall. We delivered 5 pigs which we had previously sold to Cassie for $4.50 per cwt. four
of them had been kept in the pen and one outside along with four others the pen fed ones
were fatter but as they were weighed in a bunch we had no means of finding their respective
weights. They weighed 760 lbs which at $4.50 comes to $34.20 minus 10 cts for weighing C
$34.10 {in column}
12 Raining in the morning and had been during the night. We plowed in field No.3 - finished
the piece of new land and almost finished the rest of the field. Willie brought up eight
chickens from Wm Bergens last night which we gave $1.50 for 1.50 {in column}we also each
got a hat yesterday at 50 cts each {1.00 in column} Wm. Shortreed also got another pig last
night
13 Cold day and cloudy Dr Robertson superintendent missions of North West preached in
the forenoon and gave a very interesting account of the progress of mission in the N.W.
14 Very cold in the morning a quite thick ice on the tub of water at the new well
Kept cold and windy with occasional glimpses of sunlight during the day. I went to Strathross
with Dick in the light waggon to work at the open ditch across the thirty two acre pasturefield
and took up my dinner. Willie finished the plowing on field No. 3 {unknown symbol} in the
forenoon and in PM he harrowed at Strathross the shallowed plowed sod previously
mentioned elsewhere. I went to the {R.T of T?} concert at night admission ten cents D.10 {in
column}
16 Not quite so cold to-day more sunshine. I worked at the open ditch in the forenoon with
Lucy and in PM with Dick additional. Willie harrowed in the forenoon what he was at
yesterday and in PM he drove up Mary and Bella to the orchard with Cleve and they picked
the rest of the apples a little over two bags the crows having eaten a large number of them. I
wrote out a few thoughts on the debate that is to come off at the {R.I of I?} next Monday
"Resolved that the Negro has suffered more at the hands of the White man than the A.
Indian. Wm. Shortreed took away another pig.
�
17 Fine sunny day but a cold wind. We took up six more rows of potatoes to-day a good
crop. Father got a letter from Mr Porter St. Joseph Island enquiring if we could sell lot 14 at
three dollars an acre. There is one hundred and fifty nine acres in the lot and we decided to
sell the whole for three an acre or fifty-nine next the lake for three and a half an acre.
October 18 Fine sunny day. We took up two rows of potatoes that were left from yesterday. I
worked at the open ditch at Strathross till about eleven o' clock when Wilson Mills came up
and got Lucy to go to his grandfather Wilson's funeral. In the spring we planted four kinds of
potatoes besides our main crop five pounds of Early Shamrock which yielded a bag and a
fifth ten pounds of North King, yield about the same as E.S. five or ten potatoes of Maggie
Murphy which yielded about 3/4 of a bag the best yield I think of any, and a milk dishful of
Rural New Yorkers yield 1 3/4 bags.
19 Fine day sunny and warm. We harrowed over the potato land again and got about two
bags after which Willie went to Salem with Dick in the lightwaggon and got 500 lbs flour for
$7.00 and a dollars worth of Bran and shorts.{D 8.00 in column}I worked at the open ditch
the rest of the day and Willie started to take up the mangols in the afternoon.
20 Fine day. I continued the open ditch for about 1 1/2 chains in a Northeast direction and at
right angles to the one I was furiously working at and finished yesterday we gave Mr Milne
two pigs worth 3.75 {D 3.75 in column}
October 20 which runs right across the field. Willie worked at the mangols to-day and we
brought a load home with us at night. When we got home we found that Effie a two year old
heifer had not been brought home with the cows and on search being made we found her in
the bush at Ferndale where she calved. A bull calf red and white and a good length which we
have named Sandy.
21 Sunday. Fine day Mr Craig preached in AM from {Jms?} 10:14, 15 and in evening a
discourse from 7th chapter of Esther.
22 Cloudy day rained in the evening. I fixed up the pig stys so as to shut up 5 of the young
pigs now over four weeks old in order to wean them and leave two with their mother. Willie
pulled mangols at Strathross and in PM I brought down two loads. In the evening I went to
{RT of T?} with my new badge and got orders from three brothers.

out the willows (*then started to plow across the green crop land through the pond then
across the oat stubble pea land and sod previously plowed shallow which is not well rotted.)
Willie worked at the turnips pulling and shaving them by hand. We brought down the rest of
the carrots about a load and a load of turnips.

Willie worked at the turnips. We took two loads down to-day. In the morning I took Cleve

after washing it with warm water and drying thoroughly rubbing downwards. In the evening I
went down town and got $5.00 from Wm Shortreed as part payment for the pigs and I bought

the end of a tug for 5 cts then I went to an auction sale of {Fardices?} books and bought Self

Father pulled mustard out of the turnips in AM.
October 29 continued) In the afternoon Albert Sanderson helped us to {shaw?} pick turnips
we started a pit in the field. We put on the gravel box to haul to the pit as it enables us to
�
unload quickly. We brought down a load in the forenoon and at night a gravel box not quite
full. Thomas Wilkie got the dimensions of our barn to-day in order to put in a tender. I went to
RT of T at night expecting to debate the Negros versus A. Indians to come off but was
disappointed there are only sixteen present. I got another order for a badge Dr Anderson
came up at night to inspect our cows for tuberculosis but said we need not be alarmed as
they had only an attack of bronchitis and recommended that we put in a ventilator and
prescribed a half cupful of mustard of the consistency of cream to be rubbed into Rose's
neck every other night and also one teaspoonful of saltpeter in her food.
