  1. (continued from previous page)
    house has to be kept clean so as to keep the milk clean. The cow house is very big and is divided into stalls and each cow has a stall for itself. When a cow gets its name when young it will always come when called by that name when it grows older. It is a custom never to milk cows on May Day because it is said to be very unlucky. When the cows are in the cowhouse they are tied to stakes.
