operate with them in taking off the pea crop. Charlie {put?} his team on our mower and mowed the piece east of the ditch while the other four of us followed the mower and kept the swath out of his way and bunched it. He got that piece down about nine o'clock and then we loaded up both our rack and theirs and Charlie & Frank took them down We hooked up Joe & Belle to the mower when they left and I started to cut the other side of the ditch while Dad. and Art. kept it out of my road.

I didn't finish till after dinner, Frank and Charlie took all that was left down in two more loads but Charlie had about two tons on, he put all he could on to draw out of the field and then finished the load with what he could draw in a couple of waggon loads. When they went down with the two last loads Dad. Art. and I hooked to the waggon and went out and started to cut Charlie's. I cut till about five when the boys came back with the waggons but Charlie said they were filling up down at the factory so they couldn't haul any down to-night. We put the big team on the mower and Dad. went home with the little team and the waggon. The rest of us stayed till nearly half past six but as there was about an hour's cutting yet, we quit and Frank Art and I went home. Charlie stayed to monkey with his bees
