Wed Aug 15 Nice only most too much wind.
We hauled and manure in the forenoon and put
into the deep washes on the 10 acre piece and
this afternoon I mowed on the windy hill
place and Johny plowed corn to kill the weeds.

Thurs Aug 16 Nice day.
John plowed between the apple tree rows to kill
the weeds this forenoon and this afternoon he
raked some and I mowed some. We made
some covers for the horses at noon so it
made a short afternoon.

Fri Aug 17 Nice warm day.
Johny raked in the forenoon after
shocking the piece in the corner this
way from the house then raked until
noon then went to town and he brought
out a young man and I set him to work
then Johny worked at raking.
I mowed all day.

Sat Aug 18 Cloudy this morning
but we had a pretty fair day. I hired a boy
yesterday whose name is Bert Jolly he
worked a little yesterday and to day [today]
he shocked all day. Johny raked and shocked
all day. I started the watr on to the
barley place this morning and have attended
to that and mowed this forenoon and this
afternoon. I helped shock this afternoon
and we got the hay all well shocked up.
