he was all right and had evidently been born for some time. He got up when I went near and is very strong on his legs. This after noon Dad. Tid & I went back and fixed the fence up a little between the pasture & the wheat. We also put Iveys cattle all back and fixed the fence above the creek where they had walked under. Frank & Tid. drove Mexico down town this morning and Aunty & Aunty Alice invited Frank down there for a few days to recuperate, so this after noon Marj. drove him down and left him there. Rained in the night. Cloudy but warm to-day

Dad. finished working up the garden this morning and got some of the potato furrows run out. He finished them right after dinner. I did chores most of the morning and treated the seed potatoes we got from Aunty Alice. This after noon Marj. & I cut them up and she & I planted them we had more than enough to plant the furrows Dad ran. Enah planted seeds all the after noon. Some Mr. Johnson was in this morning to talk up Wild Mayo, Sir Adam Beck's throughbred, and wants to get all the good typey mares for him they can as he says the saddle horse trade is becoming very brisk but the stock is hard to find. Col. McEwen was also in to look at Wilkins. Douglas had told him about him, he thought he was a nice bull but too thin for what he wanted. Marj. & I went down town to-night but were pretty late for the bible class. I went to band practice and Marj. went down to Aunty's where all of Huby's & Cecil were playing cards with Frank, who is being slowly won back to health. There was great excitement for a few minutes to-night when the fire bell rang and all half the town ran down to the lake where Hank Misener's cork house was on fire The fire brigade got it out with out much damage being done. Hank losing his corks. Cloudy but milder
