fallen in the air all day. It was quite mild this morning but the mercury has been dropping all day and stands at zero tonight. This afternoon the J.F.I.A. books came from "The Breeder's Gazette" Company so I spent this afternoon looking through them. Charlie Shand was over and he and Frank went down to the dam to see if they were going to put the bridges back in place, but something went wrong with their plans so they didn't move it.

It has been still very windy all day, the wind was worse than yesterday but it has been much milder and was barely freezing this afternoon. Just did chores this morning and this afternoon went up to Mat. Wilson's to pay him for the apple-barrels I got last fall. Sam Law had been thrashing there but had to stop as the wind was blowing their belt into the wheel and freezing it. I went over to Ham Thompson's for awhile to look at his calves. Frank went over to Quanbury's as he had promised to help them haul hay but as he thought they didn't go after any as the wind was too strong. I went down town to-night. They had a small fire at the dam last night.
