Saturday May 24th

Frank and I dosed all the lambs with worm tablets this morning and put the ear labels in the the three youngest. Auson Abbot came in and got the four pigs which Tom had bargained for and after we got him loaded up Fred Krell came after two bags of clover hay for his rabbits and he was here till nearly noon telling us all about the rabbit business. He has a bunch of Flemish Giants, and expects to raise some fancy show stock from them. This after noon Frank took Alfred's spear home and I cleaned out the cow stables and then we both fixed fence in the gully till chore time. Old Ed. Walker and Johnny Richardson came over to-night after their pigs. Gladys had them all out in the yard and her door came shut so that she couldnt get them in again and they were just like so many mud balls. Old. Walker wanted two boar pigs and Frank caught a boar first but old Johnny put it in his bag and then wouldn't trade it with old Walker for a sow as he thought it was a little bigger so we had to corner up another boar for old Walker and Gladys didn't like it a bit. We got them fixed up at last however and they drove off to-gether like a pair of kids with new pets to play with. Fine and rather sultry all day. Looks rainy. I polished my horn up again to-night. Frank told me when he came home that the youngest of the Zealand's William I think his name is, was drowned to-day just below the house. He and Billy Mill's little girl were playing on the boat house landing which has just been built and they both fell in. The Mills kid hung on to the landing till they got her out but the little boy was either hurt or too frightened and was drowned in about two feet of water. He was just five years old.

Frank Tid. and I went down to Sunday school and Dad. and Enah went down to church this morning. Aunty came over here to dinner and I stayed down there. This after noon Marj. and I went to the woods and got some violets. We found Lila up there with Chum looking for dogwood. We then went up and saw Glad. Law who came up for the 24th. I came home to help do chores and went back about the time church was out Frank Ried was there telling of the work of the Y.M.C.A. Aunty Alice said she liked his address. Beautiful day.
