Frank and I got off on the seven o'clock car this morning and went to Sim coe. we went to see Johnson about the apples and he said he would be down about the end of the week to have a look at them. I also gave Cruikshank $20<u>00</u> more for my insurance and then we got the nine o'clock car for Archie's place. Roy was on it so we went up with him. We had dinner at M<u>c</u>Ewen's and made a deal with him for another ram, one we like the looks of much better thanthe old M<u>c</u>Pherson ram and which has a far better fleece and skin. He is giong to take the old ram back and let us have this one for ten dollars more. We came home on the three o'clock car but didn't do any thing but chores after we got home. They lifted the bridge down at the dam this after noon. Dad. didn't do any plowing to-day. Fine day and warmer.
