team back to-night. They want to use old Ned to-morrow so we won't be able to get them again. Dad. just wanted them till he finished plowing. I disked all day. Huby didn't get over till a little before noon but put in the afternoon shovelling out ditches in the buck wheat ground.

Tuesday September 22nd

It has been very hot all day and the flies are enough to drive horses and men crazy we worked at the wheat ground and had it in fine shape by 3 P.M. and gt the seed and rill out and several rounds by 4 O'Clock. Toby worked with me to help heap the drill from cloging with grass roots and it kept him bussy in places we worked a long as we could see and got more than half the field in, but we just got the drill and wagon put safely in and the horses in the barn when it began to sprinkle it has not rained very much yet, though there have been several sharp showers. I do hope it won't rain much till we get the field finished. Hattie and Tobe are printing photographs of the baby tonight. We got some great oictures. There were two firsts to-night
