Jone's went out drinking and got so drunk he didn't return till midday. His farm hands had milked the cows and then gone out rabbiting without even feeding the animals. When Jone's returns at midday he goes to sleep and the animals still go unfed. They then storm the store shed for food and that's when Jones wakes up. Him and his farm hands race out to get things under control but instead the animals run them off the farm.
