was very heavy. Saturday Frank was over helping Pickford all day so Dad. and I finished hauling the hay and got one load of wheat up. We could unload the hay without mowing it as the last one put in, we put in the big barn in the empty bay. Mr. Clarke came back from Nanticoke on the 16th and came over here on the 19th. To-day Marj. Mr. Clarke & I drove down to church and we had chicken for dinner to celebrate. We three also went down this after noon and saw the deer. The buck has his horns back again now in the velvet and they look very sleek & fat. I culled out my chickens the other night and sold 17 all the white ones to Jack and Chris shipped six rocks to Toronto for me. I didn't get paid so I don't know how much I got.

To-day we finished hauling the wheat. Dad. & Frank hauled it up and while they were after loads Marj. and I weeded mangles and I helped them unload. This after noon Marj. and Enah went down to the first performance of the Chatauqua and Marj. and I went down to-night. The music was lovely.
