Tuesday 9th March 1915
A fair morning. Sun shining brightly.
Edith gone to school. Emma cleaned the
floors. Voltie shod old Ben horse and repaired
the old buggy to go to the villiage tomorrow.
Emma sorted and packed the eggs in the egg
basket 19 dozen. Not much to carry to market
these days. Think it costs more to
feed the hens than their eggs are worth
for from so many hens, nearly a hundred have
got not more than a dozen per day. 15 is
the most we have had per. This is cheese meeting
day but V does not attend on account of so much
home business. John doing chores and working
in shop. ground bare, warm sunlight. John tapped
our maples. sap dont run much. Evening visitor
Mr Roy Rattray.
