Tuesday August 21st

Frank cut oats all day and finished the last of them to-night soon after six. Dad. and I hauled a small load of hay and put it in the horse stable and then got a good sized load and hauled it in on the barn floor and changed the car from the horse stable to the barn. We started to put the load off after dinner but the latch in the gate at the peak of the barn wasn't properly caught and and when the first lift went up it came down and bent so that I had to go up and take the whole gate down and let Dad. straighten it before we could go on. It took most of the after noon and we only got in one more load Frank didn't have quite enough of our own binder twine to finish so Dad. went over to borrow some from Billy Mills but he was just out and said Cawley had gone to the barn to hook up and go down and get some, so Dad. chased after Cawley but he had gone so I went over to Pickford's and was lucky enough to get a ball, his last one. Enah and the baby were down town this after noon. Aunty got a telegram from Dick yesterday saying he had been shipped on out to Cadillac Sask. {Saskatchewan}. We sent away the application for the lamb's registration to-day. Cool breezy & cloudy.
