Thursday, October 22, 1868 – “The cows were in to night for the first this season.”

This is a wet chilly day. It snowed some to day. I was over to the Butend to mill to day. John Archabald was making cider at Mortons to day. 1868. Joe Rait was up here to day making cider.* John Forrest was with him. John Forrest got dinner here to day. There was a Political meeting in Andes to night. The cows were in to night for the first this season. Bovina. I saw H. Warren to day. 1868. Every thing is quiet to day. Brushland.

*Walter put the number 2 just above Raitt’s name. Over the next few days, he continued to put numbers on names of people coming to make their cider. There appear to have been 9 when the season was finished a week later.
