    4. When the people are milking the cows they milk a portion of the milk in one vessel and the other into another vessel, the first milk is called foremilk and the last milk is called strippings which is the richest in cream.
    The way we call the hens is "tuk" and we call the ducks by saying "wheat" and the turkeys "yeb" or "bee" and the cat "puss" and we put names on the dogs.
