in and as I had my canvass shoes on I took them off and walked home bare footed. I met Dad. in the gully after the cows. We did chores up after tea and then Marj. and I worked till after eleven at the church books. She feels to-night as if she were getting the mumps. Very sultry.

Tuesday May 31st

I went back after the cows this morning and found the whole herd except Betsy & Agnes in the wheat, so I had to tramp through after them and as the what was laden with dew and a heavy mist that was just rising my trip was more like wading through a lake thany any thing else I am sure I poured a pint of water out of each gumboot after I came out. The cows tramped the wheat and nippe dof quite a bit of it. They had broken a wire in the old fence between it on and they other back foeld. Dad. drove Tid t school after breakfast and brought Frank home, he feels better but the doctor told him not ot rry to do any thing this week. Dad. & I wernt back before dinner and patche dup the fence where the cowes brke in and out in a coupl eo fpost anf this after noon
