THE COW
Cows are very useful to mankind, in supplying them with milk
from which both butter and cheese are made.
Their young ones are called calves, and the flesh of calves is
veal. A good Cow will give about fifteen or more quarts of milk a day,
but much depends upon the quality of the pasture she feeds upon.
Her age is told by her horns; after she is three years old a
ring is formed every year at the root of the horn, so that by counting
the number of circles, her age may be exactly known.
Cows are sometimes prettily marked with black, brown, and
yellow spots, and, as they lie scattered about a green meadow, add
much to the charms of a landscape. 3
