Friday June 5th

I failed to get up till five this morning. After I got the chores all done I cleaned out the searator. I then went out and planted another row of Golden Bantam corn and a couple of rows of Country Gentleman. I also helped Huby cut some potatoes, which he planted. He came over this morning with about a dozen tomato plants which Uncle Ward gave him. We only wanted three and Frank bought them to-night over at Quanbury's on his way home from {blank}.

After dinner I made some drills and got some of the pecans planted. Tommy Jackson was in here soon after dinner to ask Dad. about a colt. and he told us our cattle were all in the far end of the gully so Dad. and I went back we found thye had broken down the fence where there were some rails. Nine of them were on the road but not faw=r away we gotr them back with out much trouble. but found they had just torn our little white birch tree to pieces. Dad. spent most of the day ploughing the pig yard, working it sown and sowing the thousand headed kale on it. He also finished sowing the clover seed in the oats. He shut the old sow up this morning and she went ot work and had sixteen young ones three of which got killed in the squabble for seats at the refreshment booth which will only accomodate
