with the mower. I just chored around and tried to pull buckhorn out of the lawn this afternoon and did a little raking. This morning the baby and I went down to Aunty's and cut her corn that has all the ears picked off it and made one shock of it. We stayed there to dinner. It hasn't been quite so hot to-day.

Saturday August 26th

Frank has been disking all day on the oat stubble. They came to the conclusion that the fall plowing was too hard in spots. Dad. mowed the pig weed which comes up thick in the garden and a very even crop they were and also cut the weeds in the plum orchard. I raked up a little on the lawn and when he got through with the team I hooked to the waggon and went back and borrowed John Wess' cement anchor post mould and am going to try at put a few up next week while Dad. & Frank are working on the land or drawing out manure. This after noon Dad. and I dug one hole. We did it with John's spud and spoon and made it five feet deep but it took a long time. To-night Enah's brother and his whole family came in in a car. Mr. & Mrs James & Steward stayed here all night but Jean, Adelena and Fred Johnson who was with them stayed down town at the James. Cooler and cloudy to-day.
