about three o'clock leading the heifer almost tame and Jonas following almost wild behind. They had evidently had just such a chase for her over Evan's place - as we had on Saturday over this place, but they got her cornered at last in Evan's cowshed and Dad. went over and borrowed a rope and humbug from John Wess McBride and once he got the ropes on her he soon mustered her, he broke the little clothes line that was on her a couple of times.

He said it was pitiful and laughable to watch old Jonas, every time the heifer would break away from them. Jonas would almost weep and swear he would shoot her if he could get a rifle. Evan's wasn't home and Dad. said they got every loose gate and board around the place to barricade the barn yard but she would break through and once climbed about half way up the straw stack. When they brought her home they put her in with the rest of the cows and although Jonas vowed she would get out she seems to be quite contented. Dad. told him that he would give Jonas $20 for her if she got out and $18 is she stayed in so Jonas said he wouldnt sell her till she got out.

I drove Enah & Tiddums down town to Mrs. Schrams this after noon. Belle jumped the fence out by the big barn to-nigh and knocked a couple of panels flat. It froze last night and has been very chilly all day.

I greased my old boots this morning and Dad took Mrs. Martin over the pint of cream she spoke for yesterday. We also hauled two loads of loam & sod. from along the road side under the wild cherry tree in the wheat stubble, and filled in the holes at this ed of the lane in the barnyard, where the horses have pawed a hole when they are drinking from the tub in front of the windmill. and under the gate at the north end of the hiorse stable.

This afternoon we haule dout four oads of manure, Walt McCall. Dave Waddle Billy Loan & Tom. McCall came over to-ngiht and we caught Dolly and Dave led her home he put a rope in her mouth although she wold have led all right with just a halter and after walking a little way with her got in the automobile, and led her from it.

Just about dark tinightMr. Blaikie cam eover and got Dad to go over and lok at John Wess's cow which was badly bloated and JohnWess was away. Dad. went over, stayed to tea and as John Wess got back before he left, he did not get home till about nine o'clock. Frank and I did up the chores. Dad says the cow will get all right. It froze very hard last night but has been abeautifulo day, very clear to-night.
