the trees along the edge of the wood whose branches hang over the field. We looked at the fence again before we came up to-night but it seemed to be out so we left. It looks like rain to-night and if it does; that will fix it. Nice day but cloudy. Dad started disking on the corn stubble this morning but found it too wet. in spots. Sam Law was harrowing they are the only ones I know of around here who have tried it at all
Saturday April 25
It was raining when we got up this morning but cleared of during the forenoon. Huby came over and worked at the old house and sawed wood most of the day. I spent most of the morning making a hopper for my little chickens so the turkeys can't steal their food. This afternoon I drove Enah down to doo some shopping. and she walked back Lila came over this afternoon. Win was coming over but she thought it would be too wet to burn the bonfire in the orchard so didn't come when I got home, we went out to try it. it was a little too wet but Huby got a fire started in one place and it would probably have gone but a big thunder storm came up about six. and only quenched the fire but drove them all in from looking after it. Huby and Lila stayed to tea but as it stopped raining they went down after wards. Dad. Frank & I had a bath to-night (for a change). There was another editorial in the "Maple Leaf" everlastingly raking Vyse down. Every body seems to think Vyse will try to enter a libel suit against L.G. but I guess its all true about him
