- Farm Animals
The list and amount of animals we have at home are, eight cows, two horses, a pony, an ass, six calves, twenty-eight bonhams and three sows. We have fifty hens and five ducks, but we have no geese or turkeys. The names of the cows we have at home are clune, shamrock, and daisy. The cows are put into the bales while they are being milked. The bales is a rack into which hay is put for the cows before they are milked. The pig-sty is next to the cow-house, the floor is paved, and there is a tub on the middle of the floor. The table is next to the pig-sty there is a paved floor in the stable and there is a manger in the corner of it. The calve's house is next to the stable, and the floor is paved.
