Frank got started this morning about nine o'clock to the Street Fair in Simcoe, it is the second one they have had, he took up the young gobbler and a turkey hen, he didn't get back till after five to-night. He sold the turkeys but could only sell them by the pound and just got $5.45 for them but it was the best he could do, he said there was quite a little bit of stock there but none of it went very high; he said there weren't many buyers. Dad. and I just did chores and piled some more of the wood. This after noon Dad. cleaned out the hog pen, the little pigs root the boards in the floor of their upstairs sleeping apartmens up and drop through into Glady's pen and then she goes for them This morning Harry Ansley and {Name?} Brock came over with a couple of horses which Harry wanted to hook up, one was a little mare so stiff she could hardly go he hooked them up to the bobsleighs and drove around the block with them. Alan Law came after Dad. just before dinner to get him to look at old Ned. who Alan said was {illegible} to death but Dad. said he couldn't see any thing the matter with him. Mrs. James and & Mrs. McCarter drove Dave Waddle's horse over here this after noon. I set my incubator to-day it seems to be going all right now. To-night I went down and got my hair cut and went up to see Marj. Glen Ryerse was telling Dad. yesterday that Tommy Jackson had sold his farm to Frank Ryerse. Sunny & mild to-day.
