out in the wheat which blew down last fall and has been holding Ivey's fence down ever since. This morning Ivey's young cattle were in the wheat and got over the fence there so Dad. thought it had better be straightened up. He spent the fore noon and he and Frank all the after noon fixing Ivey's line fence in the gully from the south creek to the big elm by the mound. It was in very bad shape so they took it all down and put in a few posts and stretched it over again. I hoed the potatoes in the garden this after noon. They are just nicely up. Tid was home from school to-day as this is the King's birthday. He was back with Dad. and Frank this after noon and they discovered a crow's nest so Frank went up and took the four young ones which were just about big enough to fly and Dad. brought them all up to the house in his shirt and put them in his big bird cage. Tid is highly delighted of course. Enah wasn't home for tea as she went down to the deanery meeting. Quite cool.
