AUGUST & SEPTEMBER. -8TH & 9TH MONTHS. 1881.
29. MONDAY. [241-124]
Finished cutting Oats on stumpy land, and hour after dinner. Then we drew in the Oats on knolls 4 good loads. They were cut on Tuesday last.
This has been a very hot day. I think the hottest we have had this year. John Bravender got sunstruck & had Doctor attending him. Bleeding with ice water applied to the head are some of the remedies used.
30. TUESDAY. [242-123]
Reaper came this morning about 8 oclock, & finished and hour after dinner. This is a very good piece of oats the sheaves are strewn very thickly we have not got them all bnd & scarcely 1/4 stooked up but it may be dry tomorrow This has been another hot day the earth as an oven & the heavens as brass. The turnips are weather in great need of rain . Hope
