I packed up my nine chickens first thing this morning and took them down to the Dominion Express office and shipped them to Waller's, Toronto. I never shipped there before but he proved all right as I got my returns on Friday and he gave me 26 cts per lb which was a cent more than he quoted. They were a nicer looking lot than the ones I sent to Barron as I had stuck most of them in the brain, had torn them very little and only broke a couple of wings. I had larger sheets of parchment paper to wrap them in too and so made a much neater looking package. I stayed down long enough for Joe Howell to put a shoe on Josie. Dad. and Frank were hauling manure from the cow stable shed when I got back but they had cleaned up a lot of seed wheat for Mr. Flemming This after noon we hooked Joe and Queen to the disks and I went over the part of the pea stubble which Dad. has manured. I guess it was the first time we have ever had five of our own horses working at the same time. I quit early and went down to tea at Aunty Alice's and afterwards went to the picture show with Marj. and saw "Snow white" which was acted truer to the old story than any of them I have ever seen. I stayed all night with Aunty Alice. Another fine day.
