Saturday September 6th

We finished hauling the oats & barley to-day but had quite a time doing it. Belle workled very nicely till the last two loads and then we put on pretty fair sized loads and the first one balked on the hill when Dad locj=ked the wheel but dad shoved it down on tpm of her so that she went off fairly well. The last loas however wa sa real load and sahe stopped several times uninvited causing across the field but went off nicely when dad. put a rope around the front of her leg front fetlock. That little scheme fau=iledto work however, when she efelt the wwheel lock on top of the hill but only seemed to make her worse. After worjking for quite awhile, Frank came back and he and Dad. by main force shoved the waggon down in spite of her. I then let. her run to the top of the hill on the road and she went all right till we came to the barn. We had to haul this load in thebarn as it only needed a few shoves to d=finish the stack but she refused to go in the barn. All manner or persuasion fauled to make he rbudge so Dad. tied her up solidly, took aold `harry off and left her there till long after dark. We did the chores had tea and then took Harry out again and hooke dhim to the waggon and old ~Belle walked in without a word.
