slow work hauling it out of the shed and as we were late getting started we didn't get much done. I went down to band practice to-night and we had a good one

Thursday June 10th

We were late getting started at the manure this morning as it takes a long time to cut grass for the bulls and do odd jobs. Frank gave us a demonstration of the English method of castrating lambs with his teeth this morning and that look a little time. We finished hauling out of the shed though and hauled a few loads from the yard. Dad. finished hoeing in the garden and hooked Joe up to the cultivator and went through it. When they came up they both had "tummy-aches" Enah got me some poppy and daisy roots at Miss Martin's this morning when she took Tid. to school and I set them out but I am afraid the poppy won't stand it. I went down to-night to see the Tuxis boys but they didn't show up. I went down to Aunty's and they were up at Miss Martin's with the Sunday school staff presenting her with a prayer book. They came home soon and said Aunty Maude was having a great deal of pain so I took up a bottle of stuff for her from Aunty. Huby had his two customs inspectors there entertaining them so I stayed till pretty late. Hot day
