to put wheat in and he and I spent most of the fore noon cleaning up the barn floor and getting the fanning mill out to clean wheat. We just got started before dinner but put about ten bags through this after noon. I cleaned up a very nice sample. When I got home at noon I found Jack Walker had left a case of whiskey here for Mr. Zealand and right after dinner in walked that gentleman, he having come up to settle up some church affairs. I told him that his whiskey had come but that if he was going to have Skinner Manning & Dick Faulmsly around to drink it we would get out as I wouldn't leave Marj. alone here all day with them. He professed to think that I was objecting to the mere fact that there was whiskey in the house and said he would have it taken out but that he couldn't be dictated to as to who he should have around the place to work for him. Marj. and I went over to the farm for the after noon and for tea, we had intended to anyway, and we went down to church when Dad & Enah went to "Pinafore" practice. After we came home and went upstairs to-night we heard Mr. Zealand come in with some man but couldn't tell who. Thursd Thursday March 17th Mr. Zealand was up and gone when we came down stairs this morning but we were late getting down. He came in just before we had breakfast and seemed very cranky and gave me a great tirade about not keeping things clean around here. He was drunk so I didn't say much to him but he wouldn't have breakfast with us. He walked up as far as Martin's with me when I went to the farm and that is the last I saw of him but Marj. said he came in about 3 o'clock this after noon looking very mad and went out again. When I came home at six I found a note from him asking us to save their own eggs, and we noticed his suitcase was gone but so we concluded he had gone home but back he came about twelve o'clock after we had gone to bed. We finished cleaning up the wheat to-day and had just about 30 bags. To-night Marj. & I went up and spent the evening at the Quanbury's Charlie told me that he had tested out the eggs I sold him and they were no good. Nice day but cold wind. Friday March 18th We haven't done much at the farm to-day. Dad. cleaned out and fixed up the floor in Gladys's pen as she has it all torn to pieces and has another family due to arrive. Frank cleaned out some ditches this morning and went over to Tom Butler's this afternoon and made arrangements with Nate Butler who was out on
