the unused end of the chicken house. I got them under two hens, one has twenty white ones and the other seventeen black ones. I only got twenty seven out of the incubator and two of them were cripples and had to be killed. Jessie had a nice red bull calf during the night and Dad has had a big job milking her as her bag is caked and and her hind teats very short. She gives a big mess of milk. There was also one more buck lamb this morning. Frank went down town and got three 16 foot Hemlock plank to make a bull pen as I got word from Cockshutt that he would ship the calf to-morrow. We cleaned up a few more oats this after noon but it was late when we got started so didn't get many put through Frank and I went down town to-night but were too late for church. Milder and rather cloudy to-day. Very muddy. | the unused end of the chicken house. I got them under two hens, one has twenty white ones and the other seventeen black ones.
