seed. I didn't know whether the drill was sowing to thick or whether there was more than 2 1/2 acres in the field so this morning I measured the field and found it was a scant 2 1/2 acres. The drill had nearly a bag of seed in it so I thought by shutting it down I could make it go over the field but it ran out when I just had about 2 rounds more to go, so I will have to leave that much till next week and get some more seed. I harrowed over what I had sowed and ran out the one long ditch & its one tributary. I had Dave's roller & harrows borrowed. Tuesday morning I went down to Sid's to have Queen shod as it rained a little Monday night and I thought was too wet to work on the land. Sid couldn't shoe her then as he was just starting out to post up Mrs. Marshall's sale bills so I drove out to Mattias Shiltz's to inquire about a girl that I heard was out there and that he was going to let go, but she was already spoken for. Ina came Wednesday to wash and Wednesday we got word from the Barnardo Home saying they had no girl available at present but advised us to send in an aplication to-gether with a fee of $3.00 and they would send one as soon as possible.
