We put it in the east bay in the barn where the floor is about a foot and a half higher than the bottom of the bay and ran the sheep in from the barn floor to the tank and let them drip in the bay. Art Quanbury brought his over and we dipped them making 74 head all told. Old Broadley was here to dinner and we were a little late having it. Alan Law came over to borrow a spade after dinner to dig up some paeony roots so I went over with him and got a lot more roots as well as come larkspur. They are disking every thing up over there to sow oats. The grass is about a foot high and the field looks as about as green when they sow it as it does after its up and still they are hoping to get a catch of clover seed. It took me nearly all the after noon to dig them and set them out. Dad. went back and ran out some ditches in the back field and Frank worked in the garden. I went down to band practice to-night and Frank went down to the show. We both had a good swim at the bridge on our way home. Enah went down town this morning and sent away the applications for registration of the lambs & calves. We have decided to have a Dickens herd and call all the calves after Dickens characters and instead of having family names & numbers, we will call all calves belonging to one family, names from the same book. We called Nellie's calves Nancy and Oliver Twist and Elgitha's Wilkins Micawber. Tuesday June 10th We didn't get started very early this morning as we had a lot of puttering around to do. We had to put the waggon box back on the truck, we had used it as a dripping board yesterday while dipping and one of the ewes no 17 about the best one in the flock needed attention as she is very sick and we have no hope to-night for her recovery. We can't think what can ail her unless she got some of the dip inside her and is poisoned. Dad. was in the back field cleaning out to ditches all day and Frank and I hauled out manure with Harry & Joe and the waggon and spread it on the strip where we want to put roots and potatoes. We cleaned out the calf pen first and hauled it out. Marj. and I went to the show to-night. Fine, very dry, not so hot. Wednesday June 11th The sick ewe was considerably better this morning
