and Frank and I followed soon after. It was the bay pacer that Charlie bought from Beswitherock and evidently sold to Jack and Dad. & Anderson who was down from Simcoe agreed that he had tetanus, so Anderson gave him an injection of antitetnantic {antitetantic?} serum and left instructions for Dad. to give them every six hours. Dad. says he is sure the horse is too far gone to be helped and anyway there was no curative properties claimed for that stuff it being merely a preventative, however he has gone over three times and that is all he has to. This after noon Frank and I put through the few bushels of wheat in Ed's big bin which we were saving for chicken feed. Bruce Smith was in for quite awhile this after noon for a visit. Enah has been down all the after noon at the dentists' and felt pretty rotten over it to-night. It has been a nice day to-day.
