August WEDNESDAY 26 1896

Got to work at threshing our own grain this morning, or rather wheat was left. It took us until about ten o'clock. We had to help the machine move down to the lake shore afterwards, which took until three o'clock this afternoon. Rain came again at about four so we did not succeed in geting our oats and peas drawn from the front field.

August THURSDAY 27 1896

Worked at the strawberry vines most of the forenoon but this afternoon Jim and I got in our last two loads of oat and peas from in front. We got in our first load of cloverseed this evening, and found it in good condition for drawing. Our own crop of wheat from the field back of the barn was barely forty seven bushells for this year.
