It was a rainy early forenoon and a shower in evening but rest of day was bright. Tom and Hinie came for our sewing machine yesterday. Will started some pens in hog-house and Mr. Bradstreet took family to train bound for Butte, on his return he helped Will ring pigs. They got a load of corn for each which took the day. I baked Bread and made apple jelly which is now 3 gals., went to Brad’s for water in a.m.

Was a hot bright day. In a.m. Will cut cockle burrs and I went to Spencer to deposit hog money as we sent Walcott and Walcott check for interest at Bristow yesterday. In p.m. Will went to Ableidingers to stack alfalfa and I fried down meat that I got at ice-plant, the last we have there, and washed the separator and dishes. Will came home so very tired and cranky, as I didn’t have chores done.
Telephone Line man put in new batteries and fixed our phone to ring loud. Mr. Kirstine and boys came in morning and one boy brought corn knife and got some water. They are cutting hay on formerly Hattie Whiting Whitcher now Wm Bradstreet land. Mr. Geo. Knoll came this morning to get Will to help Wards thresh in p.m., but will promised Ableidinger to hay.
