Frank and I were going to kill the crate fed chickens today. We did kill 4 but it has been a very rough day a regular blizzard, so we got very little done but the chores. The wind has died down and it is cold tonight.

Frank and I cleaned out the box stalls this forenoon, hauling the manure out on the old garden. Harry Ansley was over to see if we would take his cow and calf for a month while he is away. It has been a cold day with a high west wind, tonight is clear, calm, and cold. Frank has gone down to the dance in the hall. Tim's cold is pretty bad.
