We took a load of grist to the mill this morning six bags of oats anf four of corn, we got one bag of thre oatsd rolled for thr cickens. Tige. Farr was in for awhile to see if he could rent some of the back of the place for pasture but of course there was nothing doing. Dad. went down town right after dinner to give the deeds of his lots to Jim Caley but as Cousin Willie was sick they couldn't get them fixed up sp he & Emnah will have to go down some other time to sign off. he got home about four and we then went down to the mill for our chop. We had quite a tme getting up the hill as it was very icy and ther horses slipped all the way.

Old Jonas was over this morning to get a dose of salts for his pig which he says he thinks will die Dad. looked at it and he thinks so too. if it does he will only have one left as two have died already. Allan & Jim Law were in to night Allan's horse got its legs cut in some way he doesn't know how and he wanted dad. to look at it. I got up at half past four this morning to read the new books and also learn a little Latin out of Dad'd old book. It froze prety hatrd last night and there was a cold east wind a;l momrning but it turned mild at noon and has been snowing & raining alternately all day. afternoon Poor Tiddums felt very miserable this morning and they thought the poor little one had the earache but after he had his sleep he felt a lot better - and has been all rigt the rest of the day
