Marj. gave me a squatre cake tin for. awater dish fir the chicks and ~I masde a rack to fit obver it so they wouldn't fall in. I also mixed up a mash and gave them a little butnthey didn't seem hungry so i didn't give them any mor till this after noon and they ate it a litle better. We tried to put all the kids to sleep at noon and succeeded woth Gay & ther baby but couldn't get Harry B off so we took him with us and wwent over to the woods and dug up some wild flower roots mostly May flowers but a few trillims and plamnted them over by the gully fence among the trees there. When Gay woke up Marj, took Harry B & he rover to Mrs.Lamkins. I carried the baby and helped them across the creek and then came back here with the baby and fed her. They didn't stay long as therewas no one home at the Lampkin's. I sat around and read and dozed till tea time and dsid chored after rea. Marj. was tired out and went to bed early but I took a walk over to the Lampkin's. to ask them if they wanted any clucking hens as there were half a dozen on th4ennests to-night. They said they would be glad to have about three. At Marj's suggection I tookout fieve or six of the dumpy looking chickens and put them under one of the broody hens & she was very pleased with them.
