Dad. went up to Miss McCoy's this morning and Frank and I husked corn, we got into some nice stuff and got quite a pile husked. This after noon we weighed the steers again but before we watered them and one only gained one pound and the other four over last week's weights. Frank and the baby then went back to the gully to spear fish as they had borrowed Alfred's spear and came home with seven nice pike. The kid. was tickled to death. Dad. and I sawed and split wood and did chores. Frank and I both went down town to-night to stay all night so as to catch the train for Caledonia in the morning. Frank went to the dance but I went to bed early about 11.30. Another lovely day.
