  1. All About the Stable

    Share Share Post
    A stable is a house in which a horse is kept during the winter.
    The walls of it are made of stone and mortar, and it is roofed with timber and Sheet-iron. The foods that the horse eats are oats, rye and hay. He is carreed very often to a smith to shoe him, and the shoes are reddened before they are put on him He is also clipped every year with a clipping-machine.
    The calls for the various kinds of animals are: for the hen "tuck"! "tuck!"; for the duck- "Feen!" "Feen"!; for the calf "Suck!" Suck"!; for the horse - "Fill"! "Fill"!
    Some eggs are marked before they are put down to hatch.
    Sheep are only kept in bad land to eat all the poisonous plants that grow.
