come over earlier. George and I cleared up some of the old shingles around the house this afternoon, and I cleaned out the code staples. Dad let the cattle back to the gully this after noon, but as the fence isn't fixed yet into the field, the all got in at least the cows did. The calves didn't go out of the lane. I went back after them about five and they were right back at the woods and the field so fine to be out that I had it to do considerable chasing to get them into the lane.
