had the little saddle on her every night but one since Sunday, and she has behaved a little better each time. To-night Dad. put his heavy saddle on her There was another dance on to-night but owing to "pecuniary liabilitys" I spent a quiet evening at home. Dick worked till after midnight so did not feel in much humor to attend either. Warmer to-day.

Friday May 30th

Dad. plowed all day with Harry & Belle, and I disked with Joe & Ginger as neither they nor I are much account on either end of a plow. Dad. will finish plowing to-morrow if alls well and it won;t take us long to work it up. Mr. Henderson & Ronald were down this morning for Dad to have a look at their horse. Ton-ght Mr. & Mrs. Jim Waddle & the little girls came in and Jom &* Dad talked till about nine o'clock, before qwe had tea. Dick had work late agin to-night. I had another little rid eon Ginger to-night she turned in at the open gate into the corn foeld and also onto Sam Law'slane, but otherwise was pretty good. It has been cloudy mst of the day and srinkled a few drops now & then, a lot warmer to-day.
