up, although Dad. went out after tea and worked till Dark and I tested my eggs to-night and only took out seven out of the sixty three. Lila was over all the after noon and Frank went down with her to-night. Still hot.

Thursday July 27th

Frank raked up the alsike this morning. We were late getting around as we were delayed by one of the ram lambs we found him when we went out frothing at the mouth and bloated. Dad. shoved a long tube down his throat and that took the bloat down. When I did get out this morning I cut three of my four plots of wheat with the sickle, it took me till noon as it was mostly grass and I didn't want to get any thing but the wheat if I could help Dad. helped me cut the fourth plot after dinner, we got a fair sized sheaf of each plot. We got the binder out this morning and Frank got one round cut on the wheat field before dinner, after dinner he & Dad. finished the field and got the binder back in the barn before tea. I had to back and put Snowdrop and John out of Pickfords side hill field, they went through the culvert and we got the wheat all shocked up. To-night Frank borrowed Jack Martin's democrat and he and I took little Joe and went over to Tommy Jackson's after the bees but it was such a hot night they were hanging out on every hive so he told us we would have to wait till it was cooler.

Friday July 28th

We hauled hay to-day but didn't get very much done. We finished hauling off the field next the gully and west of the lane and got two and a half loads off it. We also hauled two loads off the field east of the lane. We put one load in the horse stable but that filled it up and we put the rest in the barn, it took some time to change the car. This after noon Neff. the District Representative came in to look at Frank's garden and said it was pretty good for being put in so late.
