In Canada, we used leaves. The outhouse had a whole basket of them.

Hopefully none of them were hairy trefoil compound leaves.

“”In Canada, we used leaves. The outhouse had a whole basket of them.””

On the farm in Upstate NY, we used Sears catalogs. My mother saved all calendar pictures and there wasn’t a bare spot on the outhouse interior walls - all walls were covered with beautiful pictures. She saved the left over starch from wash day (Mondays) to paste them to the wall or I should say delegated that job to my sister and myself.

I guess that’s why some of the family or hired hands spent longer than usual in there - dreaming of far away places! Or probably of an inside john some day!!
