September 18, 1920: Was a warm day but bright. Floyd Wood and black Spotted Sow had 15 and 11 pigs but laid on some. I watched them so they wouldn’t lay on many but it was a task. Mr. J. Aggerstedt helped Howard and Will as they put up a large stack. I mopped Kitchen in p.m.

September 18, 1925, Friday: Was cool until mid-day, then warm and towards evening cloudy but cleared off. I went with Will, and he mowed and I raked. Wm Pierce came and said our cattle were in his corn, so George went and put them in pasture and he came out to field before noon and in p.m. the men made hay, and I stayed home and got cucumbers. Louise got dinner and cleaned upstairs. The men took stacker apart in the evening. Dick Schmidt went to O’Kreek.
