rode his wheel and I stayed down at Aunty's for dinner. This after noon Marj. and I went over to see Glad. Law who came home last night. I went to church to-night with Aunty Alice and then Marj. Glad. and I went up to Miss Martin's. I didn't go home to tea and Frank and I stayed down all night as we want to go to Brant ford in the morning to see Archie McEwen about another ram Enah was down at Aunty's to tea and played the organ to-night and Dad. drove down after her to-night. It has been fair but quite cool.

Frank and I got off on the seven o'clock car this morning and went to Sim coe. We went to see Johnson about the apples and he said he would be down about the end of the week to have a look at them. I also gave Cruikshank $20.00 more for my insurance and then we got the nine o'clock car for Archie's place. Roy was on it so we went up with him. We had dinner at McEwen's and made a deal with him for another ram, one we like the looks of much better than the old McPherson ram and which has a far better fleece and skin. He is going to take the old ram back and let us have this one for ten dollars more. We came home on the three o'clock car but didn't do any thing but chores after we got home. They lifted the bridge down at the dam this after noon. Dad. didn't do any plowing to-day. Fine day and warmer.

Tuesday September 27th

I spent most of the morning clearing up rubbish and putting away chicken coops and crates and Frank cleaned up the pen in the big barn to put our ram in as he has been used to being in. Dad. plowed all morning. This after noon we loaded up old McPherson and took him down to meet the after noon Express. Archie had sent the new ram down on it so we just took him out of the crate and put McPherson in and sent him back on the same car. Dad. thinks the new ram is a great improve ment on the other. We stopped in for awhile at Aunty's on our way home and Dad. wanted to stay there and play with Roy's baby. It was time to do chores when we got home as Enah wanted us to get through early for Miss Phipps had been over to invite Dad. Enah and me over there for the evening. Mr. Barker, Mrs. Dr. Cook and Mr. & Mrs. Leslie Battersley were there. Dad. had a letter from Dick to-day saying he would leave Petewawa this
