The vulgar suggestion of thrift, which is nearly inseparable from the cow, is a standing objection to the decorative use of this animal. So that in all cases, except where luxurious surroundings negate this suggestion, the use of the cow as an object of taste must be avoided. Where the predilection for some grazing animal to fill out the suggestion of the pasture is too strong to be suppressed, the cow's place is often given to some more or less inadequate substitute, such as deer, antelopes, or some such exotic beast.

不过以牛作为景色中的点缀,总不能死于伧俗和小家子气,这是这一生物在装饰用途上始终存在的缺陷。 因此在任何情况下,除非经四周富 丽环境的衬托足以抵消这种俗陋气氛,则以牛作为一个宠物,是必须避免的。 有时候人们感到为了充实牧场的布置,必须有一些吃草的动物,假使这个想法过于强烈、难以抑制,他们就往往用一些不十分适当的别的生物如鹿、羚羊或其他同样格格不入的兽类来代替牛的位置。
