“ Fishermen will often take several hundred at a time with a net, and will load a boat or ship in a short time. Many consider it good sport to go fishing. Here is a Farmer's house.—A Cow stands before their door, and the Farmer's wife or daughter is milking in a pail, see how still she stands to be milked. Butter and Cheese is made from milk. See what a fine Field Pea. Peas make good food for men. ”
