April 6, 1915 Miss Taft, There isn't much straw left for bedding and Mr. Stutsman took about all the cornstalks we had to spare it is so wet down in the basement where the cow is it takes a lot of straw to keep her dry she cought cold in there she calved a week ago today a very smart he calf called Burr. it is red and of good size do you want to keep it or not. At first the cow gave between four and five quarts and now she gives about three it is very rich milk. we ought to have some cottonseed meal for her. I can't see any difference in Dick since giving the condition powder. he has had two spells since feeding the powder. I have two loads more stones to haul and I will be ready to disk. The only way I can see to do about that mowing- machine pole is to take it to Cramptons and have him make a new one. I don't know of anyone who has a harness that is any good. I spoke to Ledger about getting one of his horses to hitch in with Billie to go to town with but I don't know when I will go the roads are so bad. Middlings are $1.70 a hundred lbs. The horses are all right and I have been sick for a week and and not very well yet. I got Dicks 2 front shoes set at Cramptons Saturday April 3. I put the wire around the barn yard. Ralph Kitchen.
