First thing this morning we gave all the lambs a dose for tape-worm using Cooper's worm tablets. Then Frank harrowed the orchard and Dad. and I went back and turned out two or three rows of hay cocks. It is all pretty damp and blackened but not musty. When we were going back we saw Pommers pull his foot out of the barbed wire fence along this end of the woods near Charlie Munroe's line and when we went over we found his foot badly cut at the back and above the hoof, but we didn't bring him up as Dad. thought he would be better back thre if the joint isn't cut into. We couldn't get close enough to him to see. This after noon we got in a couple of loads of hay. To-night Frank and I went over to the potato patch it was too late when we got over to spray and we found them all playing football ball. Tige M<u>c</u>Bride said he would help spray to-morrow night. Fine day. breeze
