I intended going on with the fence but Ham Thompson came after me to help him put on the third spray so I have been up there all day not getting home till nearly eight o'clock. I was up this morning at five and Aunty Alice insisted on getting up and giving me my breakfast before I came home. Frank pulled all the steeples and let the fence down to the ground around the pasture in front of the house and threw some in the low places so that the sheep cound't crawl under neath. No wind to-day warm and rainy looking.

Friday May 31st

Frank and I went up to Ham's first thing this morning with Joe & Queen and got the spray out fit. We stopped in on the way home at the mill and got some feed for the calves and chickens and I paid $60.00 on my account as Karl came yester day and got my steer and gave Frank the money for him. When we got home we sewed up the wool sack as I got a letter from Neff saying they were going to start a car loading here on Monday to go to Guelph. He wants one of us to be at the car till it goes out. Dad. plowed
