properly, so he and I tried to examine her mouth. We couldn't see much but he poked around with his float and knocked the cap off one of her teeth. He said he had never heard of a cow having capped teeth like colts but didn't see why they shouldn't have. To-night he found another one so we think that from now on she will be able to eat properly. Alan Law came in while we were out there and took Dad. down to look at a caulked hock on a new horse he bought last fall and which caulked itself running through a snow bank. Dad. was down there till noon. He has not felt very well this after noon. After I did up the after dinner chores I took a walk back to the woods and across Ivey's gully into Preston's woods. The snow is about all off the level now and just in the cuts and on the north side of hills are there banks left of honey combed dirty snow. I saw Old Walker and Benny & Charlie & Guy Tuple working up the big trees in Preston's which the big wind storm took down. Sunny & spring like but cold wind. Wednesday March 17th I haven't done much to-day but chores. Frank has been fixing up some old doubletree getting them ready for seeding. Dad. went over to Quanbury's this morning to see Charlie's cow which got into the chop the other day and has been bloated up ever since. He found Karl Coleman there skinning her. Poor Charlie does have tough luck. Dad. hasn't felt at all well all day to-day and his arm is paining him to-night again. Enah is feeling miserable too Frank and I did up the chores early to-night and Frank went down to Aunty's for tea. I went down right after tea and went with Aunty Alice to church to-night. After church Marj. and I went over to the entertainment put on by J.W. Bengough for the local post of the Grand Army of Canada. He was certainly amusing both as a cartoonist and talker. He drew a picture of old Fred over at the Dominion Hotel which was a very good likeness of him and which tickled the boys in the gallery immensley, he also made a {illegible} Irish {mug?} out of a potato and and English one out of a plum pudding and also a Scotch one out of a thistle. There was a dance after the show but we didn't stay. Thursday March 18th Dad. went over to see John Wess this morning and didn't get back till about two o'clock and hadn't had any dinner. Joh is over there all alone now as Cam. & his wife have gone back home to settle up their affairs before coming back here to look after John. Frank went down to the butter factory this morning to get some butter as no one has called since poor old Tom had the stroke. Cliff Loan told Frank they had no one yet to take Tom's place. This after noon Sam Law was in for quite awhile, he brought some puss he got out of his horse's back to show it to Dad. and ask him if it was joint water. Frank said
