OCTOBER 5. Just as pretty as a peach all day. Lew went to town in the forenoon and Mary and Aggie McBride came out with him and in the afternoon he husked corn awhile and raked a little on the 10 acre piece East of the lake. I mowed most all day on the 10 acre piece and it looks as though we would have quite a little wad of hay there.

OCTOBER 6. Nice and real smoky a regular indian summer day. Lew Meda and Mary and Agnes McBride went up to John Dragers found them pretty well and quite proud of their new daughter and trying to find a name nice enough for her. Mother and I kept Sunday.

OCTOBER 7. Nice again. Lew and I finished getting the hay out of the piece East of the lake in the forenoon and in the afternoon we hauled corn from the piece of new breaking that Lew broke last spring. We got out 2 loads and there is two loads yet to get off from the piece.

OCTOBER 8. Very nice again to day. Lew and I went to hauling corn just got one load when machine came. I finished clearing the field and turned the cows into it in the forenoon and husked corn in the afternoon. The machine got along very well after they got started. They got about 30 bushels out and the threshers say that it is the best they have threshed this year.
