Wednesday June 3rd

We hauled out manure all day to-day. We didn't get started very early and were bothered this afternoon by Bob. Davis coming, so only got out nine loads. Dad. is sreading it on the corn ground. Frank was home from school to-day as it was a sort of half in half out holiday, being the King's birthday. The kids go if they wanted to but it wouldn't be marked against them if they didn't so Frank stayed. We heard the bell ringing all through the day putting in the garden ansd we helped him beyween loads. Dad. ploughed six potatos furrows tjis morning and we got the dad. Atkinson ones planted but rthere was only thereew of them so they didn't go very far. Huby planted two rows of Golden bantam corn. and we got in some cabbageand raddish lettuce and onion seed. Huby's turkey eggs all cam eout to0day. The one down the road hasn't been off the nest as far as we know since she started to sit so all her eggs were rotten. but as near as they the one on the smoke house and Mrs. Bannister's old hen had a fairly good hatch. Dad. and I moved the twelve little chickens that hatched out Monday down in the yard where the brooder is, one of them died. Mrs McBride was here washing all day. Huby didn't go up to Nomination yesterday but as near as he can find out Andrew Innes and his gang didn't get a chanc eto say a word as Mr. Slippery Slick at the last minute gt ahead of them. Cloudy, cool raining to-night.
