As long as we plow harrow and disk with him there will be now eight on his neck so he psomises to hbe just what we want.

He finished plowing that piece quite early in the afternoon and says he wouldn't have finished with Belle but this team doesn't feel the plow any more than a waggon.

I soent about half the after nnoomn printing Dads. name on the cream can and there is room for improvement on the job at that. the other half I spent mowing the rest of the lawn. Mrs. McBride was washing ere all day. Dick had to work late tonight but he and FRank both get a holiday tmorrow as it is the anniversary of the King'sbirthday. They say the Polocks got on a tear last night and broke all the lamp in the park. It has been quite cold this afternoon. It looked like this morning as if it would be hot but a wind got up at noon.
