   In the stable there is a trock where the horse eats. Straw is put under the horses for fodder. The horses shoes are made of iron, horses were clipped long ago with a scissors.
   Long ago the people used to drink goats milk. In former times when a sow was about to have bomhans the sow was brought into the kitchen and left there for a week. Until the bomhans would get strong. When calling the hens we say, "tuck, tuck". When calling the ducks we say "feen, feen". When calling the turkeys we say, "te te te". When calling the geese we say, "ban ban".
