I went over with him and we got enough for tea. After tea I cut a little lawn till it got dark. It would have been hot to-day If there had not been such a cool breeze. Dick and Bill went down town after tea and Dick got our new strainer pail which Hugh has been making for the last two or three days.

Friday June 16th

Bill started to plow this morning where we hauled out the manure. I cut up some wood and then went back to hoe corn while Daddy went over to Lol. Smith's to see when Gilbert could come to move the barn. She said he would come to-night and move it to-morrow, so Daddy ran around to see if he could get men to help him and he got four or five. When he came back I cut a lot more wood to cook the meals with and Daddy went back and hoed corn till noon. After dinner Daddy and I hooked up Ginger andJoe to the weagon and took Vyse's cultivator which we are not dome with and Fleming's chaoin back to the ownners Then we came back and hauled posts from the corn and wheat fields which were in the oldlne fence. We thoughtthe would do to block up the buildng with. We stayed at this jobtill half past four. While we were at it Chess Robinson came after a setting of eggs.
