About a quarter of a mile form Nutgrove school was a number of small cabins, and this place was called Goats street, because the inhabitants only had goats to provide them with milk.It is unlucky to beat an ass, because it was on an ass Our Lord went to Egypt, as the rest of the animals refused to carry him.There are machines for milking cows which are called milking machines. Mr. Histon of Cragard has just put down one. This machine would milk thirty cows in twenty five minutes, and it is the first one to be seen in this district. When we are milking our cows we stall them and get the milking cans and milk them. The milk is put into the tankards, and carried to the creamery, and we get skim milk back.
