Tiddums broke one of the springs on his buggy this morning and as Dick didn't want to take it down I had to take it to Buller to see if he could fix it, he wasn;t very sure about making a good job of it. When I got back I ent over the gully where Dad. was plowing and threw the sod out of the ditches till noon. Dad. plowed all day and got a nice lot done. Huby didn't come over till noon and brought us a new dog, named Blucher, he is a great big yellow Scotch collie with a white collar and face, he is a pretty dog and only nine months old which Hby sayds is the proper time to train him he got him from Bob. Rankin and just paid the taxes on him. Huby says he will train himall he can as soon as he wantsso as he will stay here loose and not run to town. I did up all the chores after dinner and then helped Huby husk corn. Dad. was afrai=d the corn in he crib was getting musty but I dug into it a little and didn't thin it was bad. Mr. Brirely was over to-night to buy a couple pf ducks he is going to get them to-morrow nigt. It has been a lovely, sunny mild day like sprong. It rained last night during the night.
