froze hard last night, so I went out and finished plowing the headland at the north end of the field while Dad. went over and doctored up the cow. I brought the team up when I finished plowing but didn't get any more done at the sheep before noon. This after noon Dad. worked on the land and Frank and I continued to trim sheep. I trimmed our loose fleeced ram lamb and made a wonderful difference in his looks but I am afraid his fleece is too poor. Cool.

Wednesday October 3rd

It has rained steadily all day and we were very glad to have it as the land is very hard and dry and lots of the wheat we sowed last week has not sprouted yet. Frank and I spent the whole day nearly with the sheep washing their necks & briskets where the oil was on the wool. Dad. fixed a pen over in the barn for the pure bred calf. This was the day of old Monteith's sale but we thought they would postpone it on account of the weather but we saw several buggies go past on the way home from it and Tom. told us to-morrow morning (I havent written this for some time) that there was a good crowd and the cattle in fact every thing sold very well.
