- 137The Care of our Farm AnimalsThe horses are fed with turnips, hay and oats. They get a drink of water twice a day and a straw bed at night.
Sheep get grass and a drink of water in the summer and in the winter they get turnips, oats, hay and cabbage. Their feet must be well pared and they are shorn and clipped twice in the summer.
Pigs are fed three times a day and their house is called a sty. It is cleaned once a week.
The names of the animals which we have at home are cows, horses, asses, ponies, bullocks, bulls, dogs, pigs and sheep.
We call our cows Ruby, Lily, Susan, Dairymaid, Kate, Kitty, Snowdrop, Fairfield and Clover. When the cows are being driven in we say "chu. home." The cows are tied by the neck with a chain and their house is called a cowhouse.Name. Henry Leech.
