This after noon we started to haul manure on the corn ground but owing to delays only got out three loads. Frank did the driving and had Belle for third horse and as she hasn't been doing any thing lately was balky and caused a lot of trouble. Then Billy Mills was in for a long time. He brought our disks back and borrowd our corn marker. I didn't help Dad. and rank much but hoe din my alfalfa most of the after noon. To-mnightDad. 7 Enah went down to a part at Aunty Alice's and Frank and I watched Tid. They were very late getting started as they had to wait till he went to sleep and a she had slept all the after noon he was in no urry about it. Frank wet in and lay onn the bed beside him and I read all I could find in the "Globe" on the conscription debate and then went to sllep in the chair. Sunny but cool be=reeze.
