little before noon and brought the mower up. Dad. & Jonas did not get started cutting corn till about half past eight it was so wet from the frost on it thawing, so they did not finish the field till after dinner. When Dad. settled up with him he owed him $7.25 as he paid him at the rate of $1.50 a day for cutting corn and $2.00 for thrashing and as Dad. & Frank went down with the team after they got through to help him haul fence Jonas took $2.50 off for the two quarter days last Saturday and this. They did not get the fence all up.
This after noon I cut a little lawn and picked up over two bushels of pears & apples of the lawn and gave them to the chickens. I did not get much done and quit early to do chores. To-night Frank and I drove down town for provisions and I finished reading "The White Company" aloud to Dad. when I got home, very sorry to finish it. Mrs. Woodson & Betty were over for awhile this after noon. Lovely day.
