As it showed symptoms this morning of being an extra hot day and as Belle's colt didn't seem very well this morning on account of being away from her whileshe was working yesterday, and because she cut up rather rustily yestr=erday. Dad. went over to Sam Law's before breakfast and borrowed old Ben. to cultivate our corn. Dad. plowed all day with Hayyry & Joe Walker as I so I was sentenced to keepBent and the cultivator in the straight and narrow way lying beteween the corn rowa. He went prertty well all morning and for awhile after dinner till I started to gocrosswise; but then I couldn't do anything with him, he did his best to step on every hill and wouldn't mind at all. Dad. took him a couple of rounds or so while I plowed and said he went pretty well but I couldn't see any improvement.

When Frank got home from schoolhe rode him forawhile and things went better. Tonight Frank took im home and we decided not to cultivate any more till we got through wiuth school, he is just having his exams now and tomorrowe & Friday is his last day. Frank's guinea hen started setting today. Drat
