half a load of hay and haul it to the horse stable and a little jag for the cows. To-night Dad. went down to the Mr. Smith's reunion committee meeting and Frank was down and stayed all night at Aunty's. Dick came home to-night but will have to start sleeping at the bank now as Hazen is to leave for Ottawa to-morrow night. It has been much milder to-day.

Art Quanbury came after Dad. this morning first thing to go and help him and Glen get their Art's barn jacked up ready to move and Dad. has been over there all day and says they are not through yet. Tupper helped them this after noon. It's the old barn in the lane on Tupper's place and Art bought it and is going to have Glen move it over on to his place. Frank came home instead of going to school and he and I have hauled three loads of wood from Carpenter's to-day besides doing chores. Dad. spoke to Carpenter yesterday about getting this wood. It is mostly body wood cut two years ago and piled up near the house. It is 16 inches long and $1.75 a cord when we haul it. We had the big new mare who answers pretty well to Nellie and Harry and she goes fine, steps right along the road without urging and is as quiet and gentle as a kitten but we have almost come to the conclusion juging from her looks and to-day and yesterday from her actions that she is not in foal, but she may be. Frank set some rat traps up in the pig pen last night and this morning Dad. found poor old Tits {illegible} in two of them by a front leg and her tail, we don't know whether her leg is broken or not. Enah took the baby in his sleigh down town this after noon and got the mail. Sam Law was in and got a bag of potatoes, he thinks now they will go down on John Watt's place. Aleta McBride was over here all day working. Very soft and cloudy all day & to-night.

We were rather surprised this morning after yesterday's nice day to find it winter again this morning, but it was snowing and blowing and pretty cold. Art. didn't call for Dad. and we didn't haul any wood. We just did chores and Frank and Dad took down our bed and put up the walnut one instead which we got in Port Rowan. I took some more
