Dad. went over to Tupper's this morning and has been over there all day thrashing. Frank and I left for Simcoe first thing this morning and took the seed up. Frank stayed up there with it and had it cleaned but I came back with the team and got home about noon. I soent the after noon doing chores and pout a few more shingles on the cbicken house roof. Frank didn't get ghome till after dark. He got a check for about $2.40 for the alsike and there in about a bushel of red seed up tthere which they cleane dout but which they wouldn't buy on account of the dock seed in it, but as it is eassy to get out of the field we thought we would sow it and sell a bushel of our red seed. Frank went down to-night to hear Cridlamd. Fine day rather cloud=y.
