Mr. McEwen came down this morning and bought the bunch of lambs & the old one, he gave $100.00 for the 8. I drove him down to the radial at 11 o'clock and then went up and told Ham I had sold his ram but he didn't care if he can use ours. This after noon I drove up to Dunkin's to hurry him up with the pedigree's but I don't know whether it was much use. To-night Frank and I went down town to see about getting a car to ship our sheep in. Dad did odd jobs and started shingling the hen house. Young Ham came and got his ram and paid for him. Lovely day but cool.
