Quanbury's freezer. This after noon Dad. and I were to have gone out to Tommy Jackson's but Dad. felt sick and it was so hot we dodn't go. I did some chores and then went to sleep, and didn't go anywhere but to bed to-mnight. I took 17 chicks out of the incubatot to-day only 11 black ones an d had to kill one of them It was a very poor hatch I think I must have put too much water in the macj=hine. Frank went out on his wheel to vu=iew rthe runs of Lige. Farr's big barn this after noon It was burned to the ground night before last. Very hot. Life scarcely worth living this weatgher.
