    There are three cows at home and their names are, Ann, Poll and Sally. When driving the cows in or out of a field "How. How" is said. The cowhouse is a fairly big house house with a paved floor. a manger and three upright posts with chains attached to them. When tying in the cows the chains are put round their necks and fastened with a crook. These chains are made of iron links.
