  1. The horse the cow and the ass are the three principal animals of the farm we have at home. All of our cows have names. They got their names from the person they were bought from and the place they were bought in.
    When driving cows we say "How on" and when driving calves we say "Sook on." Our cow house is about forty feet long and ten feet broad. We call it the Cow-house. The cows are tied to stakes by the neck with chains.
    On Palm Sunday a branch of palm is put in the Cow-house to bring luck on the cattle.
