   In August he cuts his corn and stacks it.
   September} he draws home his turf and threshes his corn.
   October. He digs his potatoes.
   November. He takes the big potatoes from the small ones and in
   December he pulls his turnips.

   Our cows are bailed with chains. There is an s-hook in the end of the chain to bail the cow.

   In Summer we milk the cows at six o'clock. In Winter we milk them at eight o'clock.

   We feed the cows on oilcake and pollard and turnips.
   We use rushes for bedding the cows.
   Some farms keep goats, sheep horses asses, a bull and a puck goat.
