Frank went to Simcoe this morning by the seven o'clock car and goit a new boxing for the mower and came back at nine. Dad. and I were out at Art's all morening and we got the east side hill off. We took it in two loads by hauling small jags off ther hills with the little rack and piling them on the big rack which was at the top of the west hill on the level and then evening up the loads afterwards. It was nearly one when we got home so wwe left the big rack in front of our lane till after dinner and Frank took it down to the factory. When he got back he cut a few more rounds with the mower which worked better but the first round the new boxing got very hot. Frank thinks the knoives need sharpening. Dad. and I cocked up all the after noon and got all that was raked cocked up. Cooler to-day. Big rain out north yesterday
