story, or if the builder was a rich
man, a story and half. The barns
were small structures with huge
frames heavily mOrtised and secure.
They would scarcely accommodate
the product of single acre now, but
were large enough then. An extern
sive farm might produce two or
three hundred bushels of corn and
fifty or a hundred bushels of wheat.
But the owner of such farm was
an envied plutocrat. Besides these,
they grew little else for market. La
ter on, bark and cord wood yielded
a revenue, and apples and peaches
were distilled into brandy. But this
was almost solely for home con-
sumption. Every man had his dram
before breakfast, and brandy was an
indispensable article on state occa-
siOns, such as country dances, barn
raisings, hog killings, or when dis
tinguished company came.
When the country began to be
settled, and the necessity of COM
munication with the outer world
arose, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York were growing into -four
ishing towns. These places became
the markets for most of our produce
and the source from whence came
the supplies we needed. Communica-
ton was to be had by sailing craft,
which were built and launched in
our waters. At first these were
rude and small, carrying only few
tons. They had no regular wharves
or landing places, but drew into the
banks along the shores of the
creeks and took in, or emptied, their
cargoes at the most convenient
nlacnS
