morning while Dad. and Frank sawed up the old willow that blew over in the cornfield. F and did some other chores Then Dad. came out and culti vated till noon and I came up and filled out the application blank for registering the lambs. This after noon it was still rainy so Dad cleaned out the cellar. Frank made a patent trough for feeding the sheep. It has a false bottom with holes in it which his sheep stick their noses in to eat salt and the edges of the holes are pins tarred so that they get the tar all over their noses which keep the flies of the grub in the head from laying eggs in their nostrils.
