Dad. plowed corn ground all day but didn't quite finish. I sidked with the little team all day. Frank went down town this morning and got Dad. a plow shear and got his hair cut. John. James and his family were all here to dinner and so was Mr. Broadley. After dinner they all went down to the green house and Enah and Frank went with them. Very cool to-day & to-night.

Wednesday June 5th

I spent the morning planting five rows of mangel seed out in the old garden. I tried a scheme of {?} Wards of planting five one or two seeds in a place about a foot apart, but it is too slow to do much of a patch. This after noon Frank and I took the little team and hauled out a load and a half of manure and put a good lot in between the tomatoes a shovelfull to a plant. We also mixed up a lot of it with the soul in the hills where we intend to plant some water melons. We have never grown any before and it may be too late for them but we had lots of room so thought we would try them. Dad. finished plowing the corn ground. I went down town to-night.
