May 5, 1915 Miss Taft.- The mare works good and drives good only I think her kidneys must be week or something for she acts just like white Sox doew if she can't be cured of it the sooner you get rid of her the better for the older she gets the worse she will be. I forgot that collar when I went to town and I didn't have any money to get a sweat pad with with she has Sox'es collar 20 in. and I got Dicks old pad on it for her. We need two new sweat pads and four lazy straps The buds are nearly all blossomed and the trees are well filled and the second spraying is done. The drill came a day earlier than they were expected to so I did not get any chance to treat the oats. They brought the oats and grass seed over when they got word that the drill was on the way and did not bring the small packages and I didn't know anything about them untill to late to sow them. The seeding by the woods is about three inches high it is to thick. I got a half ton of hay of Bagley at $20. per ton. and it is mostly June grass. Mr. S. planted your onion seed at their place when she was away and so I set set out the strawberrie plants in place of onions. I got the plants from Mr. Haywood. And two rows of asparagus on the upper hill side. or west. And I planted the beets and carrots. And the ground is plowed for sweet corn and early potatoes I am going to try and plant the potatoes this week. I have the corn ground about a third plowed. The horses are all right Where do you want the Fodder cane [?] put? I see it is in with your seeds but you didn't say where to plant Do you want the corn planted four foot apart the same as we did in the orchard? Ralph
