good and warm and dry, we moved them and the ewe into the horse stable where it is very much warmer than the barn and they all three seemed to be all right. Jim Waddle was in this morning to see Dad. as his horses have lymphangitis. Jonas was in at noon with our parcel pf seeds from Simmer's, he said he guessed tey wanted him to work for nothing, so I suppose he will not get any commission and as he had to pay his express on the seeds I don't know just where the profit comes in, but he was going off canvassing again this afternoon. He says he is through with "Iveys" for ever now, he had some rumpus with them about his house rent. Dad. told him he was h=going to ill a couple of the biggest oigs this afternoon soon and wanted his valued assistance. Jonas is a wonderful pig sticker (as he says). A fellow from Simcoe was in here to see him soon after he had gne. Lorne Brown came in after dinner with the sink and fixtures, he said Rus would be down to put it in as soon as we got the ditch dug fore the drain. To-night I went down and got my hair cut and also to the moving picr=ture show perincipally to go in with young Schrammy who was too young to go alone Dick got home soon after I did and we sat up till after twelve but I went to bed in a more civilised manner to-night. Sunny and soft but cold wind.
