eight loads, when we put the spreader away we hooked on to the waggon and got in a load of corn (22 bushels), we sorted it in the field and there is some fine looking corn in it, Jonas has been husking all day. At noon he came in and told us he had an awful foolish notion in his head, we wondered if he was just beginning to realize the fact, as there is nothing much else to him but foolishness, but at last when he got courage enough to "spit out" what he wanted, he asked Enah if she would iron a shirt for him to-night to wear to the Simcoe fair to-morrow as he could never get his "woman" to do any thing like that for him. Enah told him she would if he would bring it over to-night but he never showed up at all.

Art Ryersie came over just before tea to tell Dad. he had a cow down there which wouldn't attempt tp chew her cud and was panting like a lizard, as he considered her a valuable animal he wanted dad. to go down and see her, so Dad. & Frank have gone down since tea. I cleane dout the cage I have my rabbit in tis morning his feet are nearly heale dup and he can hop and jump pretty well. I think I shall let him go soon Enah and Tiddums went down town this after noon and to say goodbye to the Woodson's as they are going next week but no-one was home. It has been abeautiful day. niot quite so hot as last week.
