rack, he said if I would bring our waggon over for him to use he could have his as long as we needed it. After dinner Dad. & I took the rack all but the bed piece off the waggon and then I went out and cut a couple of roads through the corn field Marj. had gone out right after dinner and started to pull ears, and Enah went out later, and they pulled about a load and left it in piles while I took the little team over to Charlie's to get the rack. I got back and started to load about four o'clock and quit soon after five although I didn't have quite a load on nor all that was pulled but it was getting fairly heavy for the little team to pull and so late I went with it. I found I had 1620 lbs of a load, and when I got to the factory I had to wait for three or four others to unload who were in ahead of me. Willard Butler came in after I did with a big load of over 2 tons. It was after dark when I got home but Dad had the milking done. He ploughed all the after noon,

Friday September 16th

They wouldn't let me haul any corn to the factory to-day as they are so filled up down there. Mr. Bond told me at first not to bring any down till Monday but when he saw that it was in nice shape to pull, he said Saturday. Dad ploughed all day and I did up the chores and then took the little team back and rolled what was ploughed except on the side hill. The flies were very bad and as I couldn't change the doubletree from the roller to the harrows, it being too thick for the clevice to go over it, I came up early and did up the chores. I had an awful scare to-night and Dad. had a narrow escape from being killed. He was milking Cnocfierna who with next to Bobbie stands next to the far wall of the cow stable. Bobbie's pin had come out of her stantion while I was milking her and she was standing loose. I had finished milking and was halfway across the barnyard when I heard a terrible commotion in the stable and Bobbie & Cnocfierna rushed out. Then I heard Dad. groaning terribly and I thought he was terribly hurt, but when I got to him he was leaning against the wall and covered with mud from head to foot. What
