is quite favorably impressed with his appearance. When we got "moonshine" put away in his new quarters, Frank and I went down and got the rest of the shingles. Frank went dwn town to-night and sent Cockshutt a check for $150.00 for Moonshine. Aunty Alice lent him the money.

Friday April 11th

Frank went down to Aunty's this morning and was down most of the day fixing their fence between them and the Rankin's. Dad. and I spent the morning doing chores and I gave all the horses a good cleaning. This after noon I started to rake up the lawn and Dad. sawed wood. I measured up the bare spaces in the orchard and figured that we would need about two dozen trees to fill it up. While I was out there I saw a pair of ducks rise out of the water-holes and on taking a walk over saw to more pair rise. Niel Elliott was in to-night and Dad. sold him Daisy May. Dad. hadn't thought much of seliling her but Niel offered him $100.00 and said that was all he could possibly give but Dad. worked him to $120.00 so Dad. sold her. Frank and I went down town to-night & Frank went to the dance. Cloudy & cool.
