Frank cuts oats all day and finished the last of them to-night soon after six. Dad. and I hauled a small load of hay andpiut it in the ghorse stable and then got a good sized load and haule dit in on the barn floor and changed the car from the horse stable to the barn. We started to put the load off after dinner but the latch in the gate at the peak of the barn wasn't properly caught and andwhen the first lift went up it came dowwn and bent so that I had togo up and take the whole gate down and let Dad. straighten it before we could go on. It took most of the after noon and we only got in one more load Frank didn't have quite ebnough of our own binder twine to finish so Dad. wet over to borrow some from Billy Mills but he was just out and said cawley had gone to the barn to hook up and go down and get some, so Dad. chased after Cawley but he had gone so I went over to Pickford's and was lucky eb=nough to get a ball, his last one.
