- (continued from previous page)of our cows are the Scotch-town cow, the moiley cow, the bishop cow and the wee gray cow. We say to them "Go on there out o' that". We say to the horse "hauf". We say to the calves "Suckey". We say to the hens "Chucky" to the geese "shu-leg"
The cows' house is called the byre. There is in it a stick or a post and a chain to go round the cow's neck to tie her. The people buy the chains in town. Sometimes the cows are tied with a rope and sometimes with a halter. The halter is put under its chin and on the middle of his face and under its ears.
