Wednesday September 8th

Dad. and I finished hauling out the manure to-day, we got all we could pitch out before dinner and after dinner we scraped up the stack bottom and in little piles and hauled it out it took a long time but made a good clean job. Dad. took the big team back and disked when we got through with that. I didn't do any thing but chores and a little painting for the rest of the after noon. Frank went to Simcoe this morning to order some photo-graphs of Dick from Moore as Dick wrote and asked for some. This after noon he took Queen & Joe and mowed the big weeds around the water holes that were left in the oat stubble. Old Jonas Green was here to tea to-night. He is thinking of coming back to Dover to work in the greenhouse but as usual doesn't know what to do with the old cow, the horse and the chickens and Sairy. I went down town to-night and got my hair cut. Fine day not hot.
