for a long time. About eleven o'clock Frank and I hauled a jag of hay over to the horse stable and then took a small load of manure down to Uncle Ward and brought back some corn stalks. This after noon Frank went down to Buck's sale, rode Joe down, and said he would be back early to but Dave Ward got him to go down and fix his seperator and he didn't get back till about eight o'clock. I had to do his chores after dark. Marj. went down town this after noon and sold the eggs we took down the other day for 26 cts a dozen. I did chores most of the after noon but took about an hour off to walk down the road with her and around the sheep pasture and through Ivey's, their wheat & clover looks pretty well Lovely day Dad. Enah & Tid. got home about half past nine.

Thursday March 31st

Dad. has felt very miserable all day so didn't go out except to help me milk. It rained and snowed nearly all day any way so we didn't do any thing but chores. I spent most of the morning making a rough sketch of one of my new lessons in show cards. It is the final examination and very much more elaborate than the others. I have to get some mat. board to do them on. Marj. & I were going down town to-night to order it but I got a bad pain in my tummy so couldn't go down. Frank went down instead.
