Frank went out last night after he got home and raked up all the alsike. Dad went out at four o'clock and bunched a lot of it and we all worked at it after breakfast till we got it done. It didn't shell very badly after it was dry. We hauled in one load before dinner but didn't put it off. This after noon we hauled in four more and put them off over the granary. Frank and I drove Queen out to Bill Sidway's to-night to take him a {husk?} he doesn't seem to be improving very fast. We got home about dark and then Frank, Dick and I went for a swim. It was fine. Fine day.

We hauled in four more loads of alsike this morning besides a jag of couch rass which we threw in the bottom of the bay. We put all tthat we hauled in this morning in the bay. This after noon wew theree boys went down town, the band played in the opark as this was peroclaimed a holiday by the King to celebrate peace. There was a big crowd in town but they werew all down at the lake. I stayed down at Aunty's for tea. I receib=ed a cheque for my broilers at 40 cts per lb.
