order sorted in time to get it off to Brantford to-night. He didn't get home to tea till long after dark and then had to back after tea and also down town. Arthur Preston came over with him in a terrible state of agitation over one of his cows which was acting queerly. Dad. went back with him and said the cow was pretty sick. Cold all day but sunny and nice.

Tuesday September 19th

I disked this morning on the fresh plowing with Joe & Belle and Dad. broguht the rake back again and raked over all the fall plowing with the big team. he got. alot of the grass in windrows but it is of course full of earth. This after noon I tried to burn it and it bi=urned all right when the earth was shaken out but that took a long time and I only got a very little done a this end of the field. It will take too long to go over the while field that way so I don't know just what we will do. Dad. finished disking the plowing with Harry and ~nellie and then plowed a few rounds, he only has one more load and the hr=eadlands to plow. Wnah and the baby went down town this morning to see Aunt Hallie and stayed to dinner. Some one brought my beaking cart to-day but no one saw them. Froze last night pretty hard and has been cold all day but al ittle milder to-night.
