put in poultry fencing. Dad. and I went back after dinner and he harrowed and I disked but didn't get quite over the piece. I had to stop for awhile to drive a herd of cattle into out of Sam Law's wheat. I took Bluch and he chased them into the woods so I suppose they were Art Ryersies. Huby had more insurance to look after so didn't get over till after dinner. I got up at four o'cock this morning but went to sleep saying my prayers and slumbered peacefully till nearly five. Tom Abbot told us this morning that Edna Sidway isn't expected to live.

Saturday May 23rd

Dad. and I got a fairly good day's work in on the land to-day. he harrowed and I disked. I am part way over it crossways and have the disks set in the last hole but one except on the sand knolls. It makes them big. John Wess was over for a long time this morning talking to Dad. He is working on his buckwheat stubble. Huby and Lila came over this morning early and during the fore noon Quint and Charlie Ferris brought a ferrit over. They were going to put him after the rats under the corn crib but he was so big he couldn't get into their holes. They burned the three corn shocks in thef ield but didn't get any there either. Huby cleaned the ditches most of the afternoon in the sowed field. He got a toad and put on the front lawn to eat ants. Dick was better to-day and was down town this afternoon, but Frank is all in to-day. He took the lawnmower down to be sharpened but feels tough. Quite cold to-day but mostly sunny.

Sunday May 24th

I haven't been off the place all day. I intended to go to church to-night but went ot sleep before tea so couldn't get ready in time. Dad. and Enah & Tiddums drove down with Joe & Gu=inger this morning. They left Tiddums with Huby while they went to church and Huby took him up to the dam in the scow. There was no organist at church so Enah got there so she had to go sown to-night again aone. Cloa has qit for sure. I sat around and read nearly all day. This morning when I took the eggs out of the incubator to caul them I could hear the chicken speeping and one ot two eggs chipped. To-night one chick is out. Dick got up and went ot church this morning sateyed at Huby's to dinner down town all the afternoon and came home to tea to-night. Frank wet=nt down to chirch and Sunday school this morning and back to ther gully this afternoon. Lovely day.
