Tuesday October 10th

Got up fairly early this morning and went out with Dad and we ran the rest of the cross ditches. Then Dad ploughed the rest of the day. I went over to Blakie's to see when he could husk some corn. Then I went over to Vyse's and helped him sort some of the apples for Uncle Hal. I came home at noon and picked some Tolman Sweets off our own trees for Mr. Campbell to go in Uncle Hal's barrel. After dinner I went back to Vyse's and he packed and leaded the barrel. I came back home and then went down town to get a rig to take the apples down with. I found Huby and Lila down there and he went with me and got Faulkner's dray and I went over and got them and took them down. Huby went down to see about them but Tasker could not find the rates. It began to rain about four but did not rain much. Frank got his wheel to-day and rode home. Lila has not been to school the last two days as Miss Skelby has a poisoned face.
