I went out and finished digging the anchor post hole which I began the other day. This after noon I dug another one and got to with in about a goot of the bottom of the third and last one. I would just about finished it but I put another crack in the handle of John Wesses spoon so had to take a half an hour off to wind it. however the last foot always takes longer to dig than all the res. i am using John Wesses Spud and spoon so that i won't have to dig a great big hole. Before dinner Dad. and Frank got the manure spreader all oiled up and did a little more disking and fixing up this end of the lane. Dad. got it all polowed on Saturday. This after nooon they hauled out eleven loads of manure on the corn ground getting about half the pile at the cow stable out there. Aunty was over for awhile this after noon and told Enah our dipping tank was at the station. John Shand was also over for a visit. Fine day and hot.
