the building and I kept them supplied with water and had the rest of the time to myself. I spent most of it lying around in their way.

The cows were up early to-night so we got through early. I started to make a milk stool whether I will get it done or not remains to be seen. Dick and Bill went down town to-night to hear the band. Bill took Enah's wheel down to be fixed. There was an excursion from Norwich in town to-day.

Miss Phipps came over to-night I suppose for some cream.

It has been very sunny to-day but quite cool. At noon it was very dark and rained a few drops but soon cleared off.

The pigs are having a fine time in the orchard now plagueing the life out of poor Davie who is to polite to say any thing

Friday July 28th

This morning got up with out aking Lila about 5.40, milked Bobby and shivered around till breakfast. Mr. Smith did not turn up to-day so we surmised he could not get a man to help him. Emery came a little while after with Leon. When Lila got up she showed him all over the farm and. then Dick got up and tried to beat Lila waiting on Leon, who tore all over jabbering a blue streak all the time.
