Aunt Ruth's Book, Frank's Autobiography, page 4, paragraph 3

Father kept some cows for milking and at eight years of age, I learned to milk so that when he was away from home I took over and did the milking. I soon had to drive the cows to pasture in the morning and bring them home at night and learned to ride a horse to do it. I also learned to work in the garden and orchard keeping the weeds out and irrigating them. At ten years of age, when father left for a mission to the Southern States, I had to look after all the work on the place. I milked the cows, hauled the milk to the dairy in a little wagon, and then took the cows to pasture before going to school. The training received in my early life has helped me in a good many ways since.
