Fri July 7 Another hot dry day.
The boys hauled 6 loads of hay from the 10 6
acre piece. Kib raked on the 10 acre piece and
when he got that done he went up and done
some raking on the piece this side of the
windy hill house. I tinkered a good deal
at the machine this morning so I got a late
start but I cut the piece this side of the
house and about as much further over.

Sat July 8 Hot and dry again.
Lew and Joe hauled 3 loads and finished the 10
acre piece. Then they went to the spring
Canion [Canyon] ranch to try to get some water for
the cattle and horses up there. Kib went to
town and after he got home he raked and
bunched the hay that I cut yesterday up
on the windy hill place.

Sun July 9 Do yesterday. The boys
have not got back from the Spring Canion [Canyon] yet
so we dont what show they have found no
water for the stock up there. Kib kept Sunday
and hovered Meda. I went to get the water and
found it coming and pretty plenty too and
I have been using it to the best of my ability
to day since I got it.

Mon July 10 About such a day as
we have had for a long time. Lew got back from
the Spring Canion [Canyon] ranch brought down
Ruby with a big bag and a nice big red steer
calf or will be. Lew reports water quite plenty
up there but we need troughs and pipes up there.
