Unit5 Farming
One of my friends ( his name is Jim ) has a farm. He has a lot of cows and sells their milk. He does not milk the cows by hand : he has an electric milking machine. He gets up very early every morning, milks the cows with his machine, lets them out into the fields, gets the milk ready, puts it in very big cans, washes the milking-machine and the buckets, put the milk-cans out in the road, and then he has his breakfast. At about 8 o’clock a big truck comes and collects his -cans. It also collects milk from other farms.
After breakfast, Jim goes to his desk and writes letters and accounts and other things. When I visited him last year, he said to me, “ Do you know, Bill, a farmer has a lot of paper-work now? He is like a clerk in an office,” Jim loves his farm, but he hates paper-work.
After he has finished it, he cleans his cow-sheds and then goes out into his fields to look at his cows, or he cuts some grass, or does some work in his vegetable garden. He is always very busy, and his wife is too.
