I didn't do any thing much this morning but a few chores and go back to the gully to see if the cattle were all right asd some of them didn't come up last night. I got a ride up with Jim Ryerse, he said they had twelve acres in but tnere were ots that had nine. I saw the old turkey that hatched out on Sunday, she had lived through the storm and still had her six little ones and an egg that she left in the nest and which Art Quanbury gave me to put under a hen, hatched. This after noon I took 34 chicks out of the little incubator and cu some of the lawn. Frank and Enah went down toewn this morning inthe waggon and got. alot of stuff. Frank went down to the mill this after noon and got different kinds of feed for his ducks. Dad. helped Enah put down the didning room. To-night I went down to see David Harum with Marj. at the picture show, it was opretty good. Very hot ands sultry to-day feels more like rain.
