Dad. plowed all day and is now just half over the oat stubble or just at the pile of stoanes, the top of which just sticks up over the surface of the ground, it took me nearly all day morning to clean out the stables, get in straw and cut wood, but this afternoon I picked apples. First I picked up all the good canada Red's which bblew down in night before last's wind, they blew down more than the others, I put them down cellar in one big box I icked an orange crate of Talman Sweets, which wil be enough for us, the pigs will likely get th rest, they are beauties. I also icked what few sweet rud=ssets I could but as they seem to grow mostly on very tips of limbs I had to shake most of them down, there were very few barely an orange crate full. It began to rain about three o'clock and although it didn't rain hard it was very staedy and wet through everything I had to go out and help Jonas put up some of the husked corn, the {threw?} down a lot but as it began to rain didn't get it husked we didn;t put it up. Mully gotinot the east end of the gullyt. to-night and jmped the fence and came right up the wheat to the bars.
