Sunday November 2nd
Frank went down to xchurch and Sunday school, nobody else went down this morning. Mr. Buck came over and got dad to go down and see his cow which he thought was sick but which was quite well when Dad got there. I did chores and Dick slept till dinner. This afternoon Mr. Birley came over ans atyed quite awhile and to-night Dad..; and I went down to church, Dick was down to Huby's for tea, and went to church afterwards. We stopped in at Huby's on our way down and took him the "Everybody's Magazines" that Aunty Alice has been sending us all year. He said he might be over to husk corn to-morrow.
This has been a day of disaster, when Dad. foirst went out this morning he found one of is pigs all in and the others ging for it. He carrie dit over to the barn and later came to the conclusion that its leg was broken up in the "ham" so will have to kill it to-morrow. He also found the old gobbler sick and diagnosed the case as black-heed, he died this afternoon. Enah considered he was worth five dollars. Then we noticed a big hard lump under Queenie's jaw to-night which Dad. says is very like distemper although she has no cough I noticed a small lump there some time ago but thought nothing of it. Lovely day much milder.
