    The word said when driving the cows is:-
    "Howip".
    The cowhouse is twenty-nine feet long and twenty two feet broad. It has place for eight cows, four at each end. There are cement mangers in it and a cement floor.
    There are two shores in it, and there is a wall about four feet high in the middle each end with two cows each side of it.
    There are churns set in the cement mangers to tie the cows with.
