and Frank and I followed soon after. It was the bay pacer that Charlie bought from Beswitherock and evidently sold to Jack and Dad. & Anderson who was down from Simcoe agreed that he had tetanus, so Anderson gave him an injection of antitetnantic {antitetantic?} serum and left instructions for Dad. to give them every six hours. Dad. says he is sure the horse is too far gone to be helped and anyway there was no curative properties claimed for that stuff it being merely a preventative, however he has gone over three times and that is all he has to. This after noon Frank and I put through the few bushels of wheat in Ed's big bin which we were saving for chicken feed. Bruce Smith was in for quite awhile this after noon for a visit. Enah has been down all the after noon at the dentists' and felt pretty rotten over it to-night. It has been a nice day to-day.

It started to rain about six o'clock this morning and rained till about nine or ten o'clock. It wasn't a bad day after that sunny and cool. Dad. spent most of the morning over at Martin's the horse was so bad this morning that Joe Field's shot it. I didn't do anything much but help Enah tear the cover off the armchair as she wants to put a new one on. This after noon I read & slept most of the after noon but did go out and put the wheat back in the bun which Frank and I cleaned up yesterday. Just before tea Frank and I took Elgitha up to Ham Thompson's. Frank was down town this after noon.

I would have gone but Dad. thought as Uncle Ward enjoyed his drive so much on Sunday he would ask him and I thought he would enjoy it more with Dad. than wth me so I persuade him to go. They left about ten o'clock and didn't get back till about five and I guess both of them had a great day of it. Dunkin wasn't home when they got there so they stayed to dinner. Uncle Ward knew him well, used to go to party's with him, and I suppose he had a great talk. Dad. says his crops and the crops of his near neighbors look immense but that is the only place they do. The rain has been just what they want up there. They saw Frank Marr on their way home and he told them that
