Sun Aug 19 Quite nice generally and we had [att?]
little sprinkle of rain about noon. Johny went to
town and then to Mr Amos's and brought
Aggie over and she is to be our girl this week.
I irrigated all day by spells on the wheat
and barley pieces and got along pretty well I think.

Mon Aug 20 Quite nice day.
I mowed this forenoon and went to town this
afternoon finished irrigating the wheat piece
at noon. Murphy and Jolly mowed alfalfa.
I hired a Mr Stewart and brought him out to
help us a few days.

Tues Aug 21st Pretty nice weather but
it was quite cloudy towards night. Johny
raked most of the day the other men worked
in the timber chain until noon and
they shocked up the ballance [balance] of the 2nd
cutting. Then they finished the day at
shocking seed alfalfa. I finished the
second cutting and then cut seed alfalfa
the rest of the day and most of it was
very nice too.

Wed Aug 22 Quite a good little
day. We all worked at seed alfalfa and got most
done.

Thurs Aug 23 Nice day this
forenoon. Stewart Murphy and Jolly cut seed
alfalfa on the timber claim. Johny plowed Pusley [Parsley?].
I finished cutting seed alfalfa and then cut
the east piece of oats this afternoon. Murphy Jolly and
Johny hauled hay and Stewart and I mowed seed
alfalfa and Stewart quite to night [tonight]. I paid him off.
