I started to practice on my horn to-night but found the little nib broken off the second valve. Toaty has fixed it on twice already, so I don't think it is much use taking it to him again. It was nice and sunny this morning but turned cloudy and snowed all the afternoon, cold and windy all day.

Wednesday November 12th

Huby came over at seven o'clock this morning and husked corn all day, we both went out and helped him as soon as we could so got quite a lot done. Dad. had to go down to Flemming's at noon to see Chris Quanbury's cow which has some swelling on its jaw. I went down town after supper to get some grovceries, footwear and my hair cut, Andrews was closed but I did the rest of my errands and took the valve of my horn to Toatys again for repairs. Walt said if I sent it to Whaely Rice & Co. it might be three weeks beofr eI could get it again. I went up to the bank and waited there for an hour or two for Dick, he got back from the mocving oicture show about a quarter to en ans then worked awhile, Hazen wasa rthere when I went literally "stripped to the waist" looking for a mistakje they mad or have been looking in for for about a week. Hazen & Wiggins were looking for it when we left. I decorated Hazen's photograph album a little while I was there. Tupper was here while I was in town and wants one of us to go and thrash to-morrow. He ran a nail in his hand, and is just aboutlaid up with it. Very much milder to-day, would have been perfect Indian Summer, but for cold wind
