Frank and I put off the load of hay we put on yesterday. We took it over to the old barn for the cows. Then Dad. & Frank went over to Toms and got a load of straw. I just did chores and came home for dinner before they got back. They got home about one o'clock and we put it off into the horse stable. We didn't do anything else but chores as Dad. wanted to get down early to Pinafore practice.

Friday March 4th

Frank and I put off the load of hay we put on yesterday. We took it over to the old barn for the cows. Then Dad. & Frank went over to Toms and got a load of straw. I just did chores and came home for dinner before they got back. They got home about one o'clock and we put it off into the horse stable. We didn't do anything else but chores as Dad. wanted to get down early to Pinafore practice.

I separated my Plymouth Rock hens from the Wyandoths to-night as I think may be Jack will be wanting eggs soon now so it was after six bwhen In got home. Marj. told me that the band was going tup to play at the final hockey match between Dover & the Simcoe baseball team, but they hadn't sent me word. They calle dup in a few minutes but I d=said I wouldn;t have time to get there. They called up again and dsaid they were short handed so I hurried and dressed ate a bite or two of bread & jam and skiddooed over across the pond to catch the car.
