Dad. also opened the smoke house door to afford shelter for the old sow, she took advantage of it, and soon made a bed out of the alsike chaff he put in for her, taking the precaution to root rhe bricks from around the edge into the missle of it.

Dad. didn't milk t-night and din't put any of the cows in thinking it would bewarmer out around the stack and in the shed than in their stable as the wind coming in above the old barn doors which space has not been boarded up since we thrasked makes it cold and draughty. I read "The Wonders of Science in Modern Life" nearly all day. Dick slept most of the morning, had a bath, this afternoon, wrote to Aunty read and played chequers ith Frank.
