NEW YORK FARMER SPENT ONE DOLLAR IN EIGHT MONTHS 

But This Was 100 Year Ago - Traded Farm Products for Home Necessities in Groceries, Dry Goods and Chewing Tobacco

An old account book has just come to light giving all the transactions a farmer had at the little country store where he did his trading.  Samuel STODDARD was farming near Pinckney Corners, exactly 100 years ago.  Pinckney Corners was near the present village of Copenhagen, Lewis County, New York.

In eight months covered by this record, from January to August 1831, STODDARD used exactly one dollar in cash.  His store bill for himself and his family ran up to $33.78.  Farmers then were literally jacks of all trades. So here is the way STODDARD paid his store bill; that is, these were the commodities STODDARD disposed of to the storekeeper, and the prices he received for them: Forty nine pounds of butter, at 14 cents, $6.86; three thousand shingles, at $1.50, $4.50; two skins, $1.25; two cords of wood, $1.225 and one dollar in cash.

Shingles were cheap in those days.  So was wood.  STODDARD grew most of his own food.  In fact, his food bill for eight months was only $2.83.  It was made up of these items: Tea, 2 3/4 pounds, $1.10; sugar, one pound, $.14; molasses, 1/2 gallon, $.25; butter, 1 1/2 pounds, $.19; fish, 10 1/2 pounds of codfish, $.63; 11 1/2 pounds of haddock, $.52.

STODDARD sold butter in June for 14cents.  He bought a little in February at 12 cents.  So we judge he bought poor butter.  He was strong for fish.  He was fond of chewing tobacco, using 3 pounds and 11 ounces which cost him $1.29

The main expense was cloth, $15.00.  Only one cake of soap was bought, "millinery soap", 10 cents.  The only outlay for the kitchen was 50 cents for 6 tumblers.  For wearing apparel we find a few outlays such as these: One bonnet, $1.63; 1 pair shoes, $1.25; 1 pair shoes, $1.00; 1 pair baby shoes, $.25.  Then there is this item, 5 1/2 yards of ribbon, 56 cents.  Calico, gingham and sheeting were the principal cloths bought.  One luxury was of a 3/4 yard of lace for 3 cents.  During these 8 months no farmers sold any eggs at this store.

So Samuel STODDARD lived, carried on, reared his family and found life satisfying.  There are many old account books and old letters which tell the story of old York State pioneers, and tell us about the prices then prevailing.  Professor James E. BOYLE, of  the department of agricultural economics and farm management at Cornell University, Ithaca, is anxious to get in touch with these old records.  Owners of (cut off)
