October WEDNESDAY 9 1895

Jim and I cleaned up a load of wheat this forenoon or rather this morning, and this afternoon I took it down to Jarvis. Sold this load to Ivey and Allen and recieved a cent more than the former. They have just lately started buying. The roads are very fine just now and there could not be a better time for drawing away grain. The only hindrance is the rather low price for which we have to sell.

October THURSDAY 10 1895

I went down to Thomas Jacksons to help him thresh this morning. Stayed until about the middle of the afternoon when the machine broke down and we had to quit. I went up to Simcoe this evening after my wife. Found here there waiting to come home with me. Have been rather unwell of late owing to symtoms of a billious attack. Noticed by the papers this evening that wheat is still rising slowly in price.
