think it will last now. Before it broke every time after it had been in about a month. Karl Coleman came in while we were at it and helped us. He wasnted to ask Dad. about a bloated lamb. I went over this morning and got some bone meal at Jack Martin's and Quanbury's seed drill to sow my alfalfa. After I got it Cowley and Chris both told me that Jack wanted to use it this after noon to sow mangels but he hadn't said anything to Qunabury's about it. Frank gave the acre a final harrowiung and rolled it while I was gone and I started in to sow it before dinner. It took me till about five o'clock to get it done I got the three pounds on the acre but had to open the drill up to a larger hole for ther last nine rows and I am a little afraid it didn;t sow even;y. Dad. finished plowing the garden to-day and worked it up and ran out the ditche sin the last ditch drilled oat foield and the oea ground. Frank and Enah started to sow the garden this after noon. I set out some dahlia and gladiolus to-night. Much warmer and bvery smoky. It looks like rain.
