Mr. Sexton, father and the boys worked in the storm making as good shelter for the cattle as they could. The next day the weather was better, and since then it has been nice, with the exception of several days.

The only house so far has been the mill-house. 8 x 12 ft. It is right by the well and wind-mill. It has a tank along the west side about 3 ft. wide and 1 1/2 ft. high, and until lately the mill was kept in water in it.

The cows are nearly dry and do not give much milk.
There is one tent up, used as kind of a store-house. They had another tent up, in which the boys slept, but during the storm it blew to pieces.
