Saturday March 1st

we did the chores all up this morning, this after noon we sat down to read, and stayed a good deal longer than we should have, and then drove Joe & Ginger down town for exercise, the sleighing is pretty good now. When we were letting the team into the stable to-night Joe who goes in first stopped in the alleyway to nose for hay and Ginger came up behind and turned in beside Belle and she kicked Ginger just bekow the knee and raised quite amlumpo, but we don't think it will be serious.

frank has spent the day looking at his empty trap and snares and scouring the farm in search of materiaal to make a sleigh. Our other white cat is at the point of death to-night, they mist have got poisoned. Isaac Johnson & Jack Lawrie were oveer tis. rning with a new horse boguht by the fsarmer. March has put in a very lamblike appearance. It sowed quietly most of the day morning, and has been sunny & mild the rest of the day.
