after breakfast and after doing chored went down town with some eggs and to get my chicks at Chris's. By the time I got veerything I needed in town it was noon when I got over after my chicks and Chris was shome. We filled the two egg crates with chicks oputting about 100 in one & 50 in the other and Chris lent me a regular chick box whoich held 100 and that was all I could get in the buggy so I came jome with them and Marj. helped me grease all their heads with lard and oput them in the brooder Harry B and Gay were out with us and greatly interested in the "burdys" as Gay called them. As soon as we had dinner I wrn tback afyer the rest and got about 150 more so that as near as we can count tnere were 409 chicks and I killed a criple out of these. They are a healthu lookong ot although there a few weaklingsI walke dup to the Shand's about six to call up the Co-Operative to see if they had any hay for sale u they hadn't. I swept the schoolhous eon my way back as I ahd to milk mary to-nigjht ad give the calf a lesson in pail feedong which he refused to take it was late when i got through to-nigjt.
