So both of them had thought, if not argued; and there had been no economy—no economy in the use of that very costly amusement, the dice-box; and now, at the present moment, ready money having failed ...

... So the milch-goats went astray— That's the short and long of it; While they laughed the hours away— That's the right and wrong of it; Till the white wings ceased to strive, Till the brown bee sought the hive; "Wonderful!" they said—and I've Made ...

Furthermore, it is desirable to feed the ram and the bull more heavily for thirty days before admitting them to the flock and the herd, the purpose being to increase their strength, while on the other hand the feed of the cows is cut down at that time because it is deemed that they ...

The bullocks go straight from shipboard to the butcher, and the horses are never turned out. This is partly because there is no pasturage, the land being used entirely for sugar-cane or else left in small patches of jungle. As might be expected from such a volcanic-looking ...
