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 didn't go. I did some chores and then went to sleep, and didn't go anywhere but to bed to-night. I took 17 chicks out of the incubator to-day only 11 black ones and had to kill one of them It was a very poor hatch I think I must have put too much water in the machine. Frank went out on his wheel to view rhe ruins 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 weather.
