HISTORY OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI 447 There were distilleries in places, and much whiskey was made. Tan yards were common also. Lime began to be manufactured. The manufacture of pig lead and of shot had long been carried on in the mineral region and grew in quantity during this period. To a certain extent every farm house was a factory where many articles of domestic use were made. Cloth was woven, thread spim, clothing made, furniture and many household implements and tools were con- structed. All these processes of manufacture whether carried on in the home or the fac- tory added to the independence and fostered the development of the country.
