- The names of the animals on the farm at home
are "cows, calves, pigs, hens, the cat and dog.
Each cow on the farm has a name, such as
"Bawny," "Starry," "White legs," "Mike Mack," and
"Purty,". When driving the cows home I say
"How" "How." The cow house is a low building
covered with corrugated iron. The cows are tied
by the neck in stalls. Long ago the cows were
tied by the neck or horns by means of a rope.
The tyings were made from horse's hair. When
driving the horse we say "Go on."
When driving the pigs we say, "Cughath-sa."
There is not any branch or emblem hung in the
cow house. The stable is a low building covered
with corrugated iron, at one corner there is
a manger, which is made from timber, and
there the horse's food is given to him. The
horse eats grass, hay, and oats. The horse
is clipped in October with a machine
worked with the hands.
When calling the calves we say "Suck," "Suck."
Calling the hens "Tuck," "Tuck,".
Calling the pigs "Hurrais," Hurrais," the ducks
"Fien""Fien,". The turkeys "Bee," "Bee," or "Fee,""Fee,".
There is not any story or traditions told
about hens, chickens, geese, or ducks.(continues on next page)- Collector
