- We have three cows at home. The three of them are giving milk. There names are Daisy, Judy and Jane. When we are driving them out we say! How! How! When we are calling the calves we say Suck! Suck! We put in the cows in the Winter and leave them out in the summer. The house we put them into is called the cow-house! They are tied to the manger with chains. Hay is put in the manger at their heads. People tie a rope from the cows horn to her leg to keep her from roguing. By roguing is meant jumping across hedges into other men's land.
