in three loads, we did not get out till nearly ten this morning but got one load on and off before dinner, this afternoon we got two loads in and left one unloaded, there is just one more small one out yet. Dad. let poor old Dave back the lane this after noon and he spent the afternoon on top of the hill with the other colts in the boiling sun. Mrs. Art Ryerise paid Enah a visit to-day, she has been over in Chicago for a week or so, she said that {Clipha?} Flemming & Wil{--} Ryersie were to have been married to-day. but as we have heard no other report of it, are not sure about it. Pretty hot.
Thursday October 9th
We wewre late on the start tis morning, and just as Dad. & I were going out to pitch off the load we left on the barn floor last night we noticed the cattle on the wheat, ands all oveer thwe wheat stubble and the cover. It took us qyuite awhile to get them back in the gully, so by the time we got the load pitched off and the jag that was left back there up to the barn it was noon we burned one or two of the cocks which were composed solely of leaves & dead grass.
This afternoon we went back oveer the gully to burn the rest of the weeds in the back g=field. We thought they would burn well after all the hot weather but the fire wouldn't burn at all not nearly so well as it did the other day so
