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 ditches run. I disked over what he plowed yesterday on the alsike stubble before I quit. Huby and Frank cleaned up a lot more wheat. Enah and Tiddums went down this after noon to Miss Battersby's sale but didn't buy anything but a five cent wash tub. She was going to bid on the cook stove 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.

Sunday September 20th

Frank wet to church and Sunday school, and was the sole representative of the famil. We got up very late so I spent about half the forenoon doing chores and helping Dad. trim up some of the sheep. Dick and I went down to Quanbury's for a swim just before dinner, we needed one badly wenough but the water wasn't as warm as I have felt it. This after noon Dad. Enah and Tiddums went for a drive down the lake shore. Frank went for. arid eon his wheel Dick wemt down town and I fooled around here for awhile and then went down town to Hubys.

Tonight I drove Enah down to church. Mr. Johnson was having service on Vittoria so Cousin Willie was in charge of things. He made a bmuch better job of it than Mr. johnson generally does. There was no servic ein eithe rof the other churches as the preachers' are all taking their holidays, so we ha da few outsiders with us. Lovely day but still pretty warm.
