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.

Mr. Zealand was up and gone when we came downstairs this moerning but we were late getting doen. He came in just before w ehad breakfast and seemed very cranky and gave me a greatvtirade about noit keeping things clean around here. He was drubjk 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 wernt to the farm and that is the last I saw nof him but Marj. said he came in about 3 o'clock thois after noon looking for very mad and went out again. When I came home at six I found anote from him askingn us to save their own eggs, andwe noticed his suitcase was gone but so we concluded he had gone home but back he came about twelve o'clock afyter we had gone to bed. We finished cleaning up the wheat to-day and had just about 30 bags. To-night Marj. & I wrnt up and soent the evening at the Quanbury's Charlie told me that he had tested out teh eggs I had sold him and they were no good. Nice day but cold wond.
