help Tom Butler saw some wood this morning and was gone till after dinner. I spent the day doing chores and husking corn and helping Dad fix up the calf pens a little. Marj. has had a busy day washing and ironing and is pretty tired to-night. Aubrey Wilson came over to-night and I charted him for the Tuxis boys. Tid. was promoted to Miss Bests room to-day. He doesn't relish having to leave Miss McQueen Wednesday January 5th It has not been such a nice day to day. Cloudy with a raw wind but not very cold. It snowed quite awhile this morning but it didn't stay on the ground and it was raining a little this afternoon. I haven't done any thing but the ordinary chores all day. I felt miserable all morning with a pain in my eyes but had a sleep at noon and felt all right. Dad. and Frank spent the morning fixing a stall for Mexico in the drive house so that they can put Belle in his stall. The colt has never been weaned yet and Belle is looking very poor. Tid's nervous apprehension's at the thought of the change of teachers at school got the better of him this morning Dad. took him down but he hated so to go in that Dad. took him down to Aunty's where he stayed till noon and then went in a little more contented frame of mind. Thursday January 6th Did the ordinary round of chores to-day and gave Rachel a little brushing off. She seems inclined to be crabid but I think will be all right when she is handled a little more. Frank and I filled out applications for registering the three ewe lambs which we kept and had quite a time over it as two of them were not ear-marked and were we supposed by our own ram which broke in with the ewes. This after noon Dad. & Frank fixed the barn door that blew off some months ago and I husked a little corn. Marj. went down to the Sunday school tea this after noon and so did Enah & Frank. Tid. went from school so Dad. and I had tea by ourselves at the farm Mr. Zealand prepaid the express on ten boxes which came to-day. He told me I could use them for kindling. Friday January 7th
