side hill and took the disks back late this afternoon, the discs cut down to the mud but the top works fine. I went down to band practice to-night. Very mild & fine. Wednesday April 23rd Frank and I sheared another ram this morning but it took quite awhile and we had to put on a load of straw to take over to the horse stable so we only got the one done.

They said they were coming down to Dover this afternoon. Neff said that the Courtland boys would be down at the club to-night to give their debate and advised me to see Mr. Johnson and ask him to act as our judge as the Courtland boys were going to bring one down. When I got home Dad. & Frank where at Aunty's after the ridge-boards for the roof and as
