Quanbury's freezer. This after noon Dad. and I were to have gone out to Tommy Jackson's but Dad. felt sick and it was so hot we didn't go. I did some chores and then went to sleep, and didn't go anywhere but to bed to-night. I took 17 chicks out of the incubator to-day only 11 black ones and had to kill one of them It was a very poor hatch I think I must have put too much water in the machine. Frank went out on his wheel to view rhe ruins of Lige. Farr's big barn this after noon It was burned to the ground night before last. Very hot. Life scarcely worth living this weather.

Monday August 7th

We didn't get on very well to-day just got in two loads of alsike and pitched off three, but Dad. felt very miserable all day and this after noon he didn't come out to help us put on the load but helped put it off. The wind was also pretty strong which made it hard pitching. We have the mow so full now that we are not going to try to put any more in. We will have to stack the rest of the hay & alsike unless we put a little in the old shed at the other barn. Much cooler to-day.
