Dad. went back to the gully after the cows this morning and found Mary with a big roan bull calf, we left her back there all day. Frank went over to Tom Butler's and sheared his sheep for him this morning. I planted some more seeds in the garden and Dad. worked on the corn ground. This after noon Frank and I hauled out some manure to put on a patch which Dad. wants to work up for strawberries. Bruce came after Dad. about three o'clock to go down to Bob. Dougherty's with him to see a mare so Frank and I worked on the corn ground I worked till Frank got the strawberry patch covered and then he took the team and I planted some more corn & my oats in the garden. I went down to band practice to-night. Fair and mild all day, sprinkled a little to-night.

Dad. and I went back after Maery's calf this morning We had quite a time finding him as mary had hidden him in the little gully running up into the field, and he lay there operfectly still with his head down as low as he could get it till i was just about on him. After quite a lot of trouble we got him up to the barn and I soent the rest of the day raking & cutting the lawns and got them all looking oretty nice. Dad. worked on th4e corner ground and Frank spring-toothed the back field.
