in the bottom at the base and mixed the earth up with mould from around the big barn and some wood ashes. Art. Quanbury & Ive Fields were around Jack Martin's fence fixing it and I was over talking to them for awhile. It has been another most beautiful Indian Summer day.

Saturday November 27th

Dad. left here at sevenl o'clock this morning to get Huby and go down to Mr. {Faurey's?} funeral, he didn't get back till nearly ten, he got some lime down town and Frank whitewashed the cow stable. This after noon they got a grist ready for the mill and Frank took it down but it was too late to get it to-night. I did chores and went over to Martin's to find out how strong to make the solution of coal oil and carbolic acid for scaly leg. {Brilely?} said zenoleum would do as well as carbolic acid and and not to use more than a table spoon full in a cup of water so to-night Dad. and I went through them we got all the young pullets & cockrels done but not all the old yearling hens as they were so thick we couldn't tell which had been done and which hadn't. It has been a very disagreeable day. It rained this morning and has been cold and windy.
