was very hard and the shear dull. Frank did chores all morning and put fresh straw in the chicken house. This afternoon he & Huby cleaned up enough wheat to sow to-morrow and he harrowed over what Dad plowed when Dad. quit. Huby had to go down and insure Sam Law's furniture & implements & stock this morning. Pretty hot.

Saturday September 19th

We worked on the land all day and dad. got the buck wheat stubble drilled and the ditches run out. I finished disking crossways and then hooked on to the harrows. I finished harrowing lengthways by noon and after dinner harrowed it over again after the drill. It was after six by the time Dad got all the dirtches run. I disked over what he plowed yesterday on the alsike stubble beofr eI quit. Hyby and Frank cleaned up a lot more wheat. Enah and Tiddums went down this after noon to Miss Batrersby's sale but didn't buy anything but a five cent wash t=ub. She was going to bid on the cook stosve but discovered the back was all out of it so didn't get it. It has been very hot again to-day and the flies very bad.
