MAKING BUTTER
Do you know how I make butter? I will tell you.
Every day the cows give us fresh milk.
Ned brings the milk to the house.
I have some large tin pans. At night I put the fresh milk in these pans.
In the morning I find yellow cream on the top of the milk.
Then I take off the cream and put it in my churn.
I churn and churn till the cream turns to butter.
I take the butter out.
I leave the buttermilk in the churn.
Here is one of my butter balls.
It is on a little dish.
Bennie and Marian like butter.
They like bread and milk, too.
All boys and girls eat bread.
Do you like bread and butter?
MARY AND THE BROOK
"Stop, stop, pretty brook!" Said Mary one day, To a bright, happy brook That was running away.
"You run on so fast! I wish you would stay; My boat and my flowers You will carry away.
"But I will run after; Mother says that I may; For I would know where You are running away."
