- (continued from previous page)People say it is unlucky to spill milk at the milking. Milk from a cow after calving is called beastings. We boil it and use it. The cow eats grass and straw, turnips, cabbage and hay.
A horse is shod by a blacksmith and sometimes men themselves put on the shoes. The sheep are shorn in the spring and early summer. They have lambs in spring also.
We keep hens and ducks on the farm. We say "Chuck" to the hens and "Weat" to the ducks. The different kinds of hens are Rhode Island Reds, White Wyandotes, White Leghorns and Bantams. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
