change for he said to me today 'Old man I am going down to get the cattle home and go to church'. He is a good fellow in many ways but just wants management and I think I am beginning to find out a plan on him now. I was hard working fencing today and I told him you see now what one man can do with application and said now Alex we must study time & the weather to do our work and there is great economy in that even you will be able to plow when you cannot go to the bush and I have used every stick of timber so they must go tommorrow.

The best way is to in a quite way reason with him and he will then almost do anything.
