back and turned over the rest of the oats across the gully. Huby came over a little while before dinner and piled up his duck hide hay. This afternoon Dad. and I hauled in the last two loads of oats. and Huby helped us unload them. Between loads he fixed up a gate post at the north end of the drivehouse and fixed the fence. Cloudy but fair. very hot for awhile this afternoon but fresh breeze sprang up later Bill Donald was in to-night to have Dad look at a shoe boil on his {ankle?} Tuesday September 1st It was sprinkling this morning when Dad. took the team out but he didn't think it would ammount to much so took the roller out as he wanted to roll down what he has plowed before he puts any manure on it with the spreader.

Thursday September 3rd Dad. plowed all day again to-day and the flies weren't
