Bought from a drove, 10 calves, price 



$7,

Wednesday, Sept. 8th, 18 5-. 

 Threshing of grains commenced to 

 day. The red winter wheat from the 

 southwesterly quarter of sec. 2, does 

 not yield as I have expected. I shall 

 hereafter be more particular in the 

 preparation of the soil for the seed, 

 and the seed itself. During the com' 

 ing winter I hope to be able to exam^ 

 ine into and compare the experience 

 of others in raising the different kinds 

 of wheat. 



Thursday, Sept. dth, 185-. 

 Sold three fattened heifers to William 



Jacobs, $30 each, 

 Received his note for the same, 3 mos. 



from this day, and interest. 

 Received of Wm. P. Jones the amount 

 of his note, due this day. 



The threshing still continues. A 

 small field (^ acre) of wheat in the 

 northeasterly corner of div. 1, gave a 

 good yield, which I attribute mainly to 

 a plentiful supply of lime. To-day fin- 

 ished plowing the field in div. 3, which 

 was commenced the first day of this 

 month.
