The farm possessed three horses now besides Clover. They were fine upstanding beasts, willing workers and good comrades, but very stupid.
None of them proved able to learn the alphabet beyond the letter B.
They accepted everything that they were told about the Rebellion and the principles of Animalism, especially from Clover,
for whom they had an almost filial respect; but it was doubtful whether they understood very much of it.
The farm was more prosperous now, and better organised: it had even been enlarged by two fields which had been bought from Mr. Pilkington.
The windmill had been successfully completed at last, and the farm possessed a threshing machine and a hay elevator of its own,
and various new buildings had been added to it. Whymper had bought himself a dogcart.
The windmill, however, had not after all been used for generating electrical power.
It was used for milling corn, and brought in a handsome money profit.
The animals were hard at work building yet another windmill; when that one was finished, so it was said, the dynamos would be installed.
But the luxuries of which Snowball had once taught the animals to dream,
the stalls with electric light and hot and cold water, and the three-day week, were no longer talked about.
