This harrow was collected by ethnographer Marius Barbeau in the summer of 1936. It was bought from Emilie Pelletier of St. Pascal, Kamourska County, PQ. Mr. Pelletier sold 16 items to Mr. Barbeau for 80.00 dollars. Marius Barbeau was a renowned Canadian ethnographer and folklorist in the first half of the 20th century known for his work on Indigenous groups and collections of songs and stories. In 1936 and 1937 Barbeau travelled to Ile de Orleans and other locales near Quebec City and bought hundreds of agricultural and domestic artifacts for a museum first developed by the Department of Agriculture in 1920. The former Department of Agriculture museum was located on the same site as the current Agriculture and Food Museum on the Experimental Farm property. Source: Listed on page 17 as number 408 under Emilie Pelletier’s name as “Harrow called ‘diamond’ triangular” in the document “Artefacts_Min Agriculture Ottawa 1936” from the Canadian Museum of History’s archival fond entitled the Marius Barbeau fonds. Entreprise link: http://opentext/OTCS/llisapi.dll/link/6642150. This research was performed by volunteer Denise Steeves in November-December 2019.

Fonction

Harrows are used after plowing to prepare fields for seeding. Harrows break up clods of soil to create a smooth seed-bed. Notes on the object in Barbeau’s inventory states as follows: “A. Harrow called ‘Diamond’ triangular, with wooden and iron pegs”. It was used after plowing to break up clods & smooth & level soil prior to planting.

Technique

The triangular harrow was stronger and did not collect as much stubble as the square harrow; it was better thus better to use on newly plowed land where obstructions such as stumps, roots, or rocks were common.
