did not break under the jaw. Dad. calls it bastard strangles. We stayed long enough for him to have a good look at Queen as the object of our trip was partly to try to sell her. We went from there on down to Jimmy Horn's and took them the pedigree for the ram they got last fall. We were there about an hour as Dad. wanted to have a talk to the old man. While we were gone Frank went down to Art. Ryerse's and paid him for the freight on the wool as Art lent us the money yesterday. He also made a bee hive out of a nail keg to put up in the gully to see if he can catch another swarm and he put the supers on his two hives up here and got stung once.

This after noon we made another post but didn't get much else done Dad. did some plastering in the kitchen Enah is house cleaning. To-night I went down town to see Marj. for a little while. Roy came to-night on the seven o'clock car from Simcoe, he was up there on business and will stay here till Sunday night any way. Aunty Alice with Vernon and Rebecca came up on the early Grand Trunk train and got here soon after Roy. Warm & breezy.

Saturday June 2nd

Dad. and the baby drove down town this morning and were down all day. Dad. has been promising Aunty to go down for a long time to fix up her bay window bed and trim the walk
