our rams and he said he would let me know when the veterinary inspection was coming and we could bring our sheep down there. I drove Queen and took Tid with me. We were home by half past six. we then went back to the gully and got another pure bred calf which Maple Hill Nellie present us with this morning It is a dandy Roan heifer marked very much like Knock fierna. We had a little trouble getting it up as Nellie is very wild over it but after we got it up Daisy May adopted it and wouldn't let the mother near it and she Daisy May bawled around all night for the calf. This was the night we should have gone over to hoe potatoes but it was so late when we got through and I had to take my two year old heifer up to Ham Thompson's that we didn't get over. Tige McBride & Lloyd Crysler came over in the latter's car and got the foot ball and the Ryerse boys brought it back. They said they got the patch pretty well hoed. Warmer.
