up the chores and then husked a basket of corn. Dad. plowed all the after noon. To-night Frank & I went down to the A.Y.P.A. and had a fairly good time. I got my hair cut and went down on my way home to see Aunty Alice she came home to-night. Frank met her at the train. It has been a raw windy day and is freezing hard to-night.

Tuesday November 30th

This morning being cold and blustery Dad. decided to put the calves in, it took quite awhile to finish the preparations for their reception and still longer to get them in and tied however we did by about ten o'clock and we think they will soon settle down in contentment. It wasn't worthwhile for Dad. to go out and plow before dinner so we went down and got the coal stove that Mrs. James gave Enah, it is a dandy, we had to get some groceries and by the time we got home and got the stove unloaded it was about two o'clock. Dad. plowed after dinner but didn't quite finish the barley stubble he is going to plow the old fence bottom in with it. I did up the chores, cut some wood and went out and opened up a ditch in the plowed field. Mrs. McBride was here this morning, washing. Cold raw & windy.

Wednesday December 1st

Frank stayed home from school this morning and he and I did chores while Dad. finished plowing the barley stubble. Then the whole family went down in the lumber waggon and Dad. & I put on a load of chestnut coal for the new stove, it just come in. Frank got some stuff up town and then took the coal home while Dad. and I got my heifer which came in on the noon freight, she was like a mad bull she was so wild in spite of the blind old Douglas had put over her head, we couldn't do anything with her at the station so they shunted her over to the yard by the brickyard much against one of the men's will who was very much put out at wasting so much time and kept up a running stream of oaths, however with two long ropes one of which was Ed's and one which Dad. got over at the slaughter house we got her out in a short time without hurting her. Ed. helped us bring her over and came all the way over with us but wouldn't stay to dinner. Enah & the baby walked home. Dad. is highly delighted wth the heifer and she certainly does look nice in the stable with the others and she is getting quieted down. This after noon I helped Frank and Dad. get the stove in place and then
