got back there was a card in the mail from Marj. saying she wanted mouse-ear for the kids as there was Whooping cough in Haliburton, so I had to ride Tim's wheel out home to get it. Ray rode over just before I left to say poor old Belle was in a hole out there and couldn't get out, so George walked out and shot her. I hated to have it done but it was the only thing to do. I rode down town and posted the mouse-ear to Marj. and then came home and milked as Frank & George were down with the corn till after dark. Lea Marshall and Mr. {name?} as stock-salesman were in and delayed me for some time selling stock in the new comany Hamilton Dairys. Fine and mild.

Tuesday October 12th

Frank and I brought Roany & her calf up this morning then trimmed some ewes and Frank killed another badly wounded one. One of the wounded lambs died last night. He thrashed at Ryerse's this after noon. George & I drove down to Sid's and had Queen's shoe set had a cold lunch at my place and spent the after noon burying old Belle but didn't finish. Went down to-night to see the prize fight pictures. operated on to-day. Very sick., Fine day.
