Tiddums broke one of the springs in 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 went 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 Huby says 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 him all he can as soon as he gets so 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 afraid the corn in the crib was getting musty but I dug into it a little and didn't think it was bad. Mr. Brirely was over to-night to buy a couple of ducks he is going to get them tomorrow night. It has been a lovely, sunny mild day like spring. It rained last night during the night.
