Thursday July 15th

Frank cultivated the corn this morning and Dad hoed in the garden and I finished raking the lawn and hoed two rows and a half of potatoes in the field. Tid. went down to Aunty's for dinner and the rest of us all went to Mr. Flemming's funeral. There was about the biggest crowd there I ever saw at a funeral nearly everyone from around here and a great many from down east. Dad. was one of the bearers so went up with them. I drove up and took old Maneer up with me. We missed the procession as they went through town and we went by the mill. After the funeral Dad. and I drove home around by Jim Waddle's as Dad. wanted to see the {Hal.?} H. Colt but Jim had shipped the mare to Toronto to be bred. He was hauling in hay. It was after five when we got home. Frank had come home and raked up the first cut hay and was cocking up. Jack Ivey was over and wanted him to rake theirs up to-morrow. I went down to band concert to-night. Fine day but cold to-night.

Frank went to the mill before breakfast this morning and got some chop for the hogs & bulls. He and I dosed the lambs for tape-worm after breakfast and then he went over and raked up Ivey's hay for him. Dad. and I cocked up what was raked in the field north of the orchard and started in to cock up what was left in windrow across the gully Frank came back a little before noon and finished raking this field and we spent the after noon finishing across the gully and cocking up in this field. We went out after tea and cocked up some but didn't quite finish. Old Moonshine broke out of his pen this morning so Frank had to fix it up after dinner. He upset things in the barn and got into a bag of chop but I think spilled more than he ate. Cool wind all day & quite cold to-night.
