Neiledge's as he fell the other day and paralyzed the nerve in his arm that is Colin did and Dad. thought Uncle Ward would like to go out and see him. He said he enjoyed the drive but the McNeiledge's were not at home. Frank spent the after noon back in the gully with the Ryerse's spearing frogs, he took them down to-night and sold them to Henry Buoy for ten cents a dozen.

Dad. went over to John Wess' right after breakfast and took him over a bag of oats & barley in return for a bag of oats we got some time ago. John Wess told him was hoping he wouldn't bring them for awhile as he was afraid now that he would feed them up. The object of Dad's visit was to warn him not to breed any cows that had been to Ham Thompson's bull and to be very careful what cows he did breed. Dad. is afraid yet of contagious abortion. I don't think I did any thing much while he was gone. Frank took the team out and disked up the sand knoll by {Name?} and said he got the top of the grass pretty well cut up but it didn't affect the roots any. I weeded a little in the rose border Dad. got home just before a big rain started which lasted all noon hour. Frank went back to the gully this after noon Dad. helped Enah paper the pantry ceiling. I read "The Gentle Shephard till four o'clock when I started to do chores. Jonas came in and peddled some fish. To-night Frank and I went down to Aunty Alice's party.
