Dad. disked this morning and I harrowed. Dad. had Dave in with old Harry this morning and at first he went fine but after he got started he fought badly. Dad. put Joe & Harry on the drill this afternoon and got some more drilled but on account of the heat couldn't make much headway for fear of doing up the horses. I harrowed with Belle & Queen for awhile this afternoon but poor old Belle was fagged right out. | Dad. disked this morning and I harrowed.

Monday June 2nd
Dad. took Harry & Pommers back and disked all morning with them. I went back and helped him hook up and then came up and helped Frank mix the barley & oats for seed and treat it with formalin. That took us till about noon. Broadley & Jason were here for dinner and we didn't get a very early start this after noon. Dad. took the drill back with Harry & Joe and I took the seed with Belle & Queen and we let Pommers rest. Dad. started to drill and I harrowed ahead of him and we got over quite a little piece of ground. I went down to band practice to-night. Still very hot and dry.
