58 THE THIRD YEARBOOK 



There were no mangers in them. 



There were slats to hold the cows' heads straight. 



Why do people wish to hold the cows' heads straight? 



We saw much straw for the cows' beds. 



In summer the cows sleep outdoors. 



Then we went to see the pigs. 



They grunted and squealed when they saw us. 



*' Give us something to eat," they said. 



We ground corn for them m the corn-grinder. 



We fed them some of our lunches. 



Still they grunted and squealed. 



Pigs never seem to know when they have enough to eat. 



They would eat all the time, I think. 



Then we went to see the machines. 



There was a shed full of them. 



There was a ground-roller. 



We rode on that awhile. 



There was a drill to make holes for the seeds. 



There was a hay-rake and corn-cutter. 



There were a great many other machines, but we did not see them used. 



Then it was noon. 



We sat down outdoors to eat our lunches. 



Some of us sat on pumpkins on the porch. 



Some of us sat under the trees. 



It was nice to look up at the blue sky. 



We had to look out through the red and yellow leaves. 



There was a large woods across trom the house. 



Oh, there were such pretty leaves on those trees ! 



The oak leaves were purple, brown, and red. • 



The maple leaves were bright yellow. 



The pines were deep green. 



After lunch we ran over into the woods. 



We played games and climbed trees. 



We filled baskets with acorns for Bunny, our squirrel. 



We gathered pretty leaves to take home to mother. 



We saw a man cut down a pine tree. 



First he cut a notch all around with his ax. 



Then he cut in deeper and deeper on one side. 



Down came the fine tree. 



We wondered why he cut it down. 



One boy said: "It's for a Christmas tree."
