The top half of our straw stack slid off this morning. but didn't hurt anything. We didn't get any of it in as it looked all morning as if it was going to snow. I did chores mostr of the day. Frank and Dad. unloaded the Nukol and Frank went down to the mill and got his chop. George Duncan was in this morning to see if he could borrow a cutting box as his father-in-law had put a cedar rail through his ans smashed it. He was twelling them that his apples would average him over seven dollars a barrel this year while the Association wouldn't get that for their best ones. Georhge sold his in England. Marj. and Enah were down at a party at Mrs. Barwell's this after noon. The boys came over to-night instead of New Year's. Hermon tyrned the lights out and they told ghost stories. Very mild.

yesterday and it looks to be very good fuel. I spent most of the day doing chores when I wasn't helping Frank. Dad feels tough with a bad cold.
