Wednesday July 18th

Frank and I made the other door for the harness cupboard this morning but didn't get them put on. I then hooked up Belle and Queen to the waggon and Frank and I went down to the mill and got a bag of mixed chop to crate fattenchockens. We wemt out and got the wagon box fi=ull of grass when we got home. We fgot ben Ivey's cultivator as we went past and this after noon Dad and I cultivated the mangels except the far egde where it was roo wet and we also wwent through the potatoes in the old garden. We took Ben's cultivator as it is a straight toothed one and gos throw the earth without throwing it all out as ours does. When wwe got through woth that Frank and I hoed potatoes tioll sox and Dad. paris-greened a lot of them. To-night Dad and Enah went down town to get some provisions and Lloyd Ryerse came up to see Frabk so I wernt with them back to Ben's cherry orchard where we tested a good many of the trees but didn't fins any real sweet cherries but a good many real sour ones. When we got back I picked out most of the biggest cockrels I could find and put 14 in the fattening crate. Fine & clear to-day.
