It froze hard last night but Frank was able to plow and has been at it all day. I went back to the gully this morning and chopped a hole in the creek for the cattle to drink then I spent the rest of the morning moving the hay around in the horse stable so that we could put some straw up there. We wanted to move the stack or what is left of it in to-day but it was too windy. I didn't do any thing much all the after noon but a few chores. We put the cows all in this after noon as well as Wilkins Micawber Knocfierna and Nancy. Wyatt Waddle and a Frost & Wood agent were here this after noon to sell Dad. a mower. He said if they would alow him $40.00 on the old one he would get a new $90.00 one from them so they were going to try to deal it off. Enah went down town this after noon and sold four dozen eggs for me @ 65 cts. I got 16 eggs to-day. I went down town to-night and Frank went to a dance at Nanticoke.
