    (continued from previous page)
    The calves are kept inside in a house until they are a month or more. They are fed with milk and when they are old enough they are fed with hay and mangolds.
    The house is covered with furze and straw. The cattle are stalled into bails made of timber to hold them while they are being milked. A goat is usually kept on the farm for good luck. Some farmers send their milk to a Creamery and others separate it and make butter of it and sell it at the market.
