about twelve she was still making her nest and when he went out about an hour later she was covered with pigs and more coming, she had thirteen altogether but killed one to-night by lying on it, but she is very careful, and good to them. Soon after dinner or at least dinner time because Dad. hadn't bothered eating any dinner, Al. Faulkner came after him to go down and doctor Jimmy Leany's horse. He hated to go but did and got a dollar out of it, he has started charging folks in town as lately they have come after him from all directions. I spent most of the after noon cleaning out and heating up my two incubators. The little one was up to 103 before I went to bed to-night. About six o'clock we had one of the worst old thunder storms we have had since last summer. Frank Dad. & I were all besieged in different barns and couldn't get out till it was over. It seemed to come from the north and went right over us towards the lake There were a couple of cracks I though would hit the barn. Enah and the baby got home about eight and the baby seemed quite sick. Dad. and I greased the little chicken's heads to-night. It has been very warm all day

Friday April 21st (Good Friday)

I promised Aunty and Aunty Alice I would give them a day in the garden to-day but as it was so wet I didn't hurry down and put the eggs in the incuba=tor first, I put in 198. 135 in the big one and 63 in the other.
