April 14, 1915 Miss Taft- I went to town ang got the drag, garden drill and cultivator and 100 lbs. of cottonseed meal and S- took half of the meal. I went before I got your letter. I hired one of Ledgers horses to drive up with Billie 75 cts. for the use of him. They didn't have any hay rake in yet. I got that bottle of formulin for the oats and potatoes. Dr Core was here yesterday and looked at the horses and fixed up Dicks teeth I have got the stone all hauled off the field. I ploughed that strip east of the barn the end of the meadow. I disked the alfalfa and now I am disking the corn ground. I tested the seed corn and it all grew. I got 10 bu. more corn shelled and ground. 28 cts. for grinding Mr. S- paid it. I got Billie shod in Traverse City. that was $1.00 horses dinner .50 Mr Jamison said he would drill the oats in. If you have oats crushed they will have to be taken to town. Burr Mc Manus said he would give you two dollars for the calf if you wanted to sell it. The sawdust will be all right I will try and get a load. We packed three barrel of Ben Davis to ship I let S- have four bu. of carrots. And he got 10 bu. more corn making thirty Bu. in all. Mrs. S- said she wasn't ready for the cow yet The cow is better and so [?????] I every thing is all right Ralph Kitchen We have had two days of fine weather after a little snow and the May flowers are coming out.
