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 and Belle and Dad. brought the rake back again and raked over all the fall plowing with the big team. He got a lot of the grass in windrows but it is of course full of earth. This after noon I tried to burn it and it burned all right when the earth was shaken out but that took a long time and I only got a very little done at this end of the field. It will take too long to go over the whole 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 headlands to plow. Enah and the baby went down town this morning to see Aunt Hallie and stayed to dinner. Some one brought my braking cart to-day but no one saw them. Froze last night pretty hard and has been cold all day but a little milder to-night.

Wednesday September 20th

Dad. finished plowing this morning while I shook out a few more windrows of grass. This after noon Dad. shook them out and although he got on faster than I did, didn't get many done. I rolled down all the grass plowing and then started to disk it. We just worked to one team Harry & Nellie to-day. Alan Law was in to-night and borrowed a couple of bushels of oats. The frost the night before last froze Ben's tomato plants and the buckwheat. John Wess and old Walker are cutting theirs to-day. It has been sunny and warm to-day but windy.

Thursday September 21st

I have disked all day to day and consequently feel a little sore on spots as some of the ground is pretty hat=rd and chunky and is inclined to joly=t a fellow. I finished diskingn the fresh plowing lengthwise and started crosswise of the whole field. Dad. shook out and burned some more grass roots this morning but had to go to Mr. Fleming's to thrash this after noon, he got home about five as a boxing on the engine melted and they had to quit. Aunty, Aunty Alice, Aunt Hattie and Cousin Clare were all over to dinner and Aunty and Aunt Hattie stayed to ytean and Rank drove them home to-night. Aunty Alice's cold is still pretty bad. Cloudy and showery all day but not enough to wet much.
