and took her to the slaughter house where Karl killed her for us. Frank stayed there the rest of the after noon to watch him. I took the hog crate back down town and then came home with the team. Dad. Enah & the baby drove down town in the cutter soon after I got back and brought Marj. back with them to tea. She was here all evening and I drove her home about half past ten. Nice winter day.

Frank and I with the baby drove down to the slaughter house first thing this morning and got the remains of poor old Gladys and Dad. spent the rest of the morning cutting her up. Frank and I then went down town and around by the mill where we got a couple of bags of feed. It snowed hard all the after noon and we didn't do any thing much. Arthur Preston was over for quite a visit and told us that he had got a circular saying that there would be a meeting to-night to make more arrangement for Neff's Short Course this winter so Frank and I went down and Neff gave us each a route to canvass to create a little enthusiam over the course. Much milder to-night.
