Saturday July 15th
As every thing outdoors was soaking wet Daddy thought it would be a good idea to cut the alsike. He took Joe and Belle. I went over with him and went around the field. I came back by the lane. Young Parsons was in the wheat when I came up. I went around onvce behind the binder and therew the sheaves out of his road, then I got old Harry for him to put onwith the team as one was a colt. Then I cleaned off Ginger as she was lonesome and went out and shocked wheat till noon.
