snowed quite hard and we got pretty wet. This after noon Marj. and I went down town and I got some costic potash for the calf's horns and some louse killer to put on Belle & Rachel as they are badly infested. To-night I went to band practice and Marj. went down with me and went to {Girls?} Auxillary. Mild.

Tuesday February 8th

It snowed enough yesterday to make the sleighs run so Frank and I hauled out manure all day and got about 8 or 9 loads out on the root ground. We cleaned out both box stalls & the calf pen and hauled five or six loads from the cow shed pile. Uncle Ward came over this morning for a visit and went home when I went at noon. Marj. came over after dinner and helped Tid. make valentines all the after noon. He has been quite sick with gripper or a very bad cold and doesn't go out of the house at all. Very soft

Wednesday February 9th

This was ash wednesday so Marj. went down to service at ten o'clock. Frank and I spent the fore noon back in the woods. When I got home at noon Marj. was preparing to receive the Banfield's as they were up at the dentist's and telephoned over that they would be here for dinner. They didn't get here till nearly one This after noon I didn't go back to the farm but took Ward through Jack Martin's {illegible} in which he seemed greatly interested. I also took him over to the farm and showed him the stock. We put his horse in Fleming's stable. They left before five and I went over to the farm and helped do chores. Aunty was over there for tea and went down with Dad and Enah when they went to {illegible} practice. Marj. & I went down to church to-night but I slept all through it. Very mild.
