   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Our farm is fairly large. We have fifteen cows, one pony, one horse, one young Colt, twenty three pigs, twelve young Calves, no Sheep, and two Bulls.

   Mother keeps about sixty hens, two roosters, one goose, one gander, two turkeys and thirteen ducks.

   We belong to the CourTesting [?] Association. We have to weigh the milk every week. [?] When the testing man comes he takes milk in a bottle for to test it. He comes around every six weeks.

   Each cow is expected to milk during 45 weeks of the year, and must have yielded 600 gallons of milk. All our cows reach this standard except two.

   We have 9 cows milking. Mother milks 5 of them and my sister milks the rest of them. I think the shorthorns are the best milkers. [?]Ruby Armstrong[?]

   We are 3 1/2 miles from the Creamery. People club together for this work. Often as many as 6 farmers. So each man in that case would have to go only one time each week.
