+ | We all got up pretty early this morning. First of all we went out and pitched off the load of wheat in the barn. Then we went over to the alsike field. We met Judge Wells taking his morning ride and he grew very excited when he saw Tige and raised his whip and made a great pass but Tige did not pay any attention. I helped pitch on a load and we put it off with the fork. I mowed it away while they were gone an then hoed in the garden. Huby came over about eleven and they got another load in the barn before dinner. We were a long time getting the car fixed on the track. Huby and I did not go out to the field at all this after noon we just mowed away it was very much easier than the timothy, being light and short. |

her through Vyse's mangle's and corn into the farmyard. Paul Lee and Cars went off to look for corn for a corn-roast and I went over to Vyse's. Then Dick and I went off in search of the little ones. We at last found them in Vyse's hay field and chased them up. Then Vyse and I went back his lane to look for his boar. We found the Banisters back there. We found his boar in his wheat field and headed him off and then came home. I got home about dark. Thus ended that boar hunt.
Huby could not come over to-day as he had some insurance to look after but he was represented by Nig. who spent the day, and went home with Bill to-night He comes over every day now.
Pretty fairly hot to-day nice wind, may rain before long Sun set clear to-night sure sign it will rain before Monday.
