variety followed by the Indian Summer. It froze ice in the woodshed last night and w ehave been wading around in snow all day. It has been cloudy and wither snowing or raining sleet all day so to-night the snow has a crust on it. I came home from Aunty's his morning about seven o'clock and shovelled their snow for them before I left. I was home in time to do chores. After breakfast I drove Tim to school and drove on dwn to Aunty's and picked Marj. up. We haven't done any thing all day but chores they have taken more time as we had to find everything. Pickford came in after dinner with our cream cheque and Lampkins got for got to leave it. We was telling Dad' that he had a fat cow to sell that would weigh about 1200 and he asked Neil Eliot $45 for her, but Neil told him he couldn't give half that and make any money on her. Probably he was lying but he didn't buy her. It seems rather tough when a couple of years ago she would have been worth well ovewr $100. There is mighty little money in farming these days but still it is better than being out if a job in the city. There is nio need to go hundgry here. Mark was through here this aftyer noon. He had been up home over Thanksgiving and left his Ford up there.
