50 Domestic Animals 



How they must have patted bossy's side, looked into 

 her brown eyes and stroked her soft nose! How 

 good the milk must have tasted, and the fresh, sweet 

 butter the good mothers made!" 



A game that they often played was the kinder- 

 garten "Farm Yard Gate," and a favorite story was 

 "The Cow with the Golden Horns," found in "A 

 Pot of Gold and Other Stories," by Mary E. Wilkins. 

 They also learned to recite that pretty old poem by 

 Jane Taylor: 



THE COW 



Thank you, pretty cow, that made 

 Pleasant milk to soak my bread, 

 Every morn and every night, 

 Warm and sweet and sure and white. 



"Do not chew the hemlock rank, 

 Growing on the woody bank, 

 But the yellow cowslip eat, 

 That will make it very sweet. 



Where the bubbling water flows, 

 Where the grass is fresh and fine, 

 Pretty cow, go there and dine!"
