  1. Long ago the stock the farmer reared was a cow and a mule. At that time the people used to sell a lot of butter.
    The food of the cow consisted of turnips, hay and straw.
    The people had different names on the cows such as Nelly and Daisy.
    If a person was churning and if another person came it is said if he did not help in churning he could bring the butter out of the milk.
    The mule was an animal like the ass but larger.
    He used to live in a stable in Winter and his chief food was hay.
