Monday, September 26, 1892

It rained hard last night & is blustery today. We all did chores. I did some writing. The boys got the horses in & drew out some sowed corn with the bay team. John churned the butter. Kaine & I got 4 pigs boxed for VanValkenburg, 2 out of the litter of 6 and 2 out of the litter of nine. VanValkenburg got them off of the wagon & paid $3 each for the oldest & $2 each for the youngest or $10 in all cash. I took 12 cheese, also & we cut one & kept all but 22# which I took to Youker. I took 2 to VanAlstyne, 91# no pay. I got 11 ½ cents for the 64# of sage cheese at the Co Op = $7.36. 1 paid him $1.20 for a sack of flour & 16 cents for sapolio. I paid Leahy 35 cents for repairs on the chains & I paid Zoller 40 for 1 3/4# of sage & 40 cents for my dinner & horse bill. I saw J. Carney & asked him to settle next week, & also J. Jackson.

We weaned the pigs & the sows fit so they had to be separated. The boys cleaned the woodshed, and threshed peas. I paid 13 cents for a steel rat trap at the fair store.
