till we got our furniture unloaded and got around to the blacksmith shop where Bert Greenbury took the iron off and I took the tongue over to the planing mill and got George Nunn to put splice a new end on it then Greenbury put the iron back on. I had some cream for Elva and when I got to the shop Dad asked me what I did with it and I suddenly remembered I had left it on the bank by the "Titanic". I went back for it but and it was all right. We went on up town and got the mail and Enah's wallpaper but didn't have time to do anything more than chores when we got home. Queen behaved very nicely. To-night Frank went down with Lila. Beautiful day. I took four dozen eggs over to Martin's.

Guy Tuple came after Dad. this morning about nine o'clock to go and see a sick colt. He had his car so Dad. got back just in time to hitch Joe up for Enah & I me to go to church. Frank had gone, so Dad. and Tid went back to the gully to let the fence down to let the cattle in the other end of the pasture field but it began to rain so came back. It was raining quite hard when we got to church and kept it up all the after noon. We got rather went coming home. Dick walked over with Frank to dinner. I didn't go down town this after noon but went down to church again to-night, and went for a short walk with Marj. afterwards, but went down early to see Aunty & Aunty Alice.

Monday May 15th

Frank went down first thing this morning and borrowed Mr. Fleming's hog rack and we loaded up our hogs, we were only going to take four which were in pretty good shape but they were such a nuisance to separate that we loaded them all in the waggon and then Dad. threw the two smallest ones out but that still left two medium sized ones but they took them down. Dad. wasn't very well satisfied with what the brought, he never is and thought Neil didn't give them all there was in them. The six of them at $10.75 per cwt came to $92.98. As soon as they left I hooked up Joe and went down to get my teeth filled as I thought there were some holes in them. Bill couldn't get at them for quite awhile
