    and the person that is milking answers, "The same to you." Another name for the tying of a cow is a "Luggrin". If a cow had a chill and give her tea and whiskey she would get better. One time a potato got stuck in a cow's neck. A woman lived near the man that owned the cow. This woman was supposed to be as good as a vettenary surgent. The man went for her and told her his trouble. She lifted the tongs and a sod of turf. When she came as far as the cow she put the sod of turf in her mouth and put the tongs down her neck and lifted the potato out and the cow was alright again. If a cow had pock on her spins rub vaseline on them and the would get better
