Yeah, it's showing you how to run 'date' at various times and
intervals.
Here's a bit of what Red Hat's "man 5 crontab" says (for what it's worth):
The time and date fields are:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
