The old people had three meals a day. At eight o ' clock they had the breakfast, at twelve o ' clock they had the dinner, and before they went to bed they had the supper. They milked the cows and did all the morning's work before they eat their breakfast. Their principal meal was potatoes and stirabout. They placed the table in the middle of the floor.
