September MONDAY 23 1895

Finished drilling the field back of the barn this forenoon. Got it furrowed out and the ditches partly cleaned. Jim helped me this forenoon; but this afternoon he went to school again. The weather has changed again to day. From summer heat it has become delightfuly cool and pleasant. We had a visit from our old friend & neighbour Peter Ryerse to day.

September TUESDAY 24 1895

Have been cleaning ditches in the field back of the barn most of the time to day. Had Mrs and Mr Thos. Pickergill of Wyecombe here to dinner, so had to spend two or three house with them. They were on their way to Selkirk for a visit. The way seems strewn with difficulties just now owing to the low price of wheat, Scarcely know what to do.
