now and couldn't get up. It looks pretty tough for him and he is all alone with her, he himself is just able to limp around and do the chores, but he expects Cam. home this after noon. I went over to Jack Martin's for awhile when I got back from John Wess's to ask them about a stove brooder and Chris. told me that he might be able to get one for me from a man in Galt. I went to Simcoe on the one o'clock car and took my sample of milk to Neff and priced the brooders at Boyd's. The size Chris advised me to get cost $33.00. I came home on the 3 o'clock car. To-night Marj. and I went to the Methodist church to hear Capt. Martin give his lecture Jean Valjean. Frank and Lila were there but there was a very small crowd, the lecture was very good. Very cold & windy all day. Below zero to-night.
