The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 75

The Cow

The Cow.

The Cow is a noble quadrerped, though not so noble as the horse, much less the roaring Lion. It has four short legs, a big head for its size, and a thick body. Its back legs are bent, and there's two big bones sticking out just above. Its tail is more noble than the donkey's but nothing to come up to that of the race horse. The cow gives us milk, and niced beef, and shoolether. How thankful should children be to this tame quadrerped. How thankful ought we to be to the cow for nice hot beef. Pertaters grows; they are not on the cow. The four things what you sees under the cow's belly are what the milk comes through. How thankful should we be, the cow makes milk from grass. God teaches the cow how to do it. A cow's feet are split in two, like sheeps; they are called hooves. Little cows are called carves. Carves are the stupidist of all tame quadrerpeds, except pigs and donkeys. When you drive a carf, never prick it behind, but push it gently with your flat hand. Men are crewel to carves because they cant draw milk from them. Cows are painted different colours: white, and red, and yellow. When they are black and white they are genlly half bulls so you must not go near them. Cream which rich people eats is got from cows which are all white.
