What shall I take them ?" "Nearly all animals like de bran mash," said Adele.
"Good!" cried Miss Laura.

"That is the very thing.

Put in the things to make it, will you please, and I would like some vegetables for the cow.

Carrots, turnips, anything you have; take some of those you have prepared for dinner to-morrow, and please run up to the barn, Adele, and get some hay, and corn, and oats, not much, for we'll be going back again; but hurry, for the poor things are starving, and have you any milk for the pig?
Put it in one of those tin kettles with covers." For a few minutes, Miss Laura and Adele flew about the kitchen, then we set off again.

Miss Laura took me in the buggy, for I was out of breath and wheezing greatly.
