    When we want to bring the horses we say "Peo, peo, peo". When we want to call the calves we say "Suck, suck". When we wish to call the fowl we say, "Chck, chuck, chuck."

    Care of Our farm Animals
    The Cow-house.
    Our cow-house is a fairly big house built to hold twelve cows.
    The names of the cows are :- the black cow, they gray cow, the blue cow, the broken-horn cow, the straight-horns cow, the Harrow cow, the strawberry cow, the little gray cow, Folly's Cow, the big red cow, and the little red cow.
    When I am bringing the cows home I say "Sua home" The cows are tied by a chain tied around the neck. If you are taking a bull anywhere you would put a rope on his horns.
