First thing this morning we put off the load that was in the barn and then Bill and Daddy hauled in the rest of the wheat. They brought it in in two jags. They put it over the granary so Huby and I did not have to {hop?} them. I tore down the fence in front of the drive shed and cut it up, while Huby and Dick went back the lane to trim the trees we put out last spring after first helping me to mow away the alsike. After the wheat was in they hauled in the remaining two jags alsike. They got through a little after noon. Mr Smith came over and started at the house this afternoon alone. Quint came over and stayed all the afternoon. When the alsike was put away we went and cleared up where the old Horse stable was and got enough wood for thashing. We also hauled the big stones away from there and put them up against the big barn. Quint and I fooled around shooting arrows till we broke or lost them all. | First thing this morning we put off the load that was in the barn and then Bill and Daddy hauled in the rest of the wheat.

First thing this morning we put off the load that was in the barn and then Bill and Daddy hauled in the rest of the wheat. They brought it in in two jags. They put it over the granary so Huby and I did not have to {hop?} them. I tore down the fence in front of the drive shed and cut it up, while Huby and Dick went back the lane to trim the trees we put out last spring after first helping me to mow away the alsike. After the wheat was in they hauled in the remaining two jags alsike. They got through a little after noon. Mr Smith came over and started at the house this afternoon alone. Quint came over and stayed all the afternoon. When the alsike was put away we went and cleared up where the old Horse stable was and got enough wood for thashing. We also hauled the big stones away from there and put them up against the big barn. Quint and I fooled around shooting arrows till we broke or lost them all.
After tea Bob. Blakie came over and gave Dad some money for the pasture and Emery McPherson came and said he start work on the Drive house in the morning. Then Enah and I printed some pictures we had eleven good prints and only spoilt one.
The Martins brought the piano this morning and Enah has been trying it off and on all day We all like it very much (Huby and Bill very much). Huby and Dick were all through the woodsa at the back of the place this morning picking out rees and trimming them to plant out next spring.
There waas rthe same cold wind to-day as yesterday calming completely to-nihgt.
