Sometimes this "stelling" is to be found outside the door of the dwelling house.

   They had wooden rockers underneath.
   Up in Toor they had an old custom of knowing the time when they wanted to get up early on a fair morning. Clocks were to be found then only in an odd house. They knew how long it took a candle to burn out, so they would tie a straw around the end or middle of the candle.
