We did chored and Dad cut wood most of the dsay, this afternoon we put some poles across a couple of beams in the big barn and covered them with hay to make a pen for the ewes. The old ram seems to be getting crooser, he attacked me to-day for the first time, and we think it is because he has some way got the wool all puklled away from his eyes. and can see much better all around him. I got fourteen eggs to-day, the cold weather doesn;t seem to affect the hens any, I guess it is the feed and care that counts. Enah cut the cloth for the book case this after noon and to-night Dad and I glued it on the wood, it is going to look pretty nice I think. It froze very hard last night. Frank said it was seven below zero, and although bright and sunny has been frosty all day barely thawing even in the sun. They say there was a sloight earthquake felt in different parts of Ontario and in Montreal but I think the ones that felt it here just thought so after they go thre paper.
