Friday July 5th

We all three cocked up hay all day to-day and finished cocking all that was raked before six. There are still about two acres on the east side of the field to rake up yet. To-night Frank and I went over and got Lorne Myers and got him to help us go and put Henry Misner's tank on the wag gon. We had an awful job as just as we were getting the thing on the hind holster of the wag gon the weight of the engine rolled it over and we worked till eleven o'clock before we got it fixed. He is going to spray our potatoes for us tomorrow after noon. I felt tough all day and to-night it was all I wanted to do to walk home and roll into bed.

Saturday July 6th

Dad. cultivated corn this morning and Frank went down and got the piece of the ladder at the Widespread. I went back and turned the heaviest of the hay that was in swath but didn't feel much like working and spent a good deal of the morning under a tree. Frank came back and raked it up before noon. This after noon Dad and Frank went back and cocked it up and then brought a load up and pitched it off in the horse stable. Neff came after me soon after dinner to go and get the sprayer attachment and help him put it on the sprayer We were all the after noon at the job and didn't get any spraying done. Neff said he would be down Wednesday night to spray. Coudy with very cool breeze to-day.

Enah and I drove down to church this morning and Dad. and Tid. walked down to Aunty's for dinner where Enah went from church. this being Dad's birthday they were down there all the after noon. Huby brought them home in the boat as far as Black Creek bridge and he and Aunty walked up here to tea with them. Frank and I had dinner alone and this after noon Frank went for a ride on his wheel with Lila and I went up to Ham Thompson's as Harvey Ross was over here this morning to say that we were to take our rams down to his father's in the morning as the inspector was to be there. I asked Ham to bring his ram down to our place and let us hook to his wag gon as the tires are so loose on our own. I came back home and read and slept all the after noon. Huby brought Tid one of the special puppies to-day. Frank and I got Dad three books, Short horn Cattle, Feeds & Feeding & Breeding Farm Animals. Jackie Pickford was over for a visit to-night. Quite cold to-day & windy
