Life's Farm at Branchville. Conn.,, on the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad, about 50 miles from New York, is a large country place. deeded to Life by the late Edwin Gilbert some 15 years ago. The connexions three-story French roof house has been converted into suitable dormitories, dining-rooms, etc., for the prosecution of the work, and various outbuildings have been ad- ded. The grounds comprise about Il acres, with a large brook running through them. affording endless amusement to the youthful visitors. A sufficient force of caretakers, under the supervision of MT and Mrs Mohr, insures the best of care for the child ren. During the 20 years they have never lost a child or had any serious accident or illness at the Farm. The work began in 1887 by sending few children to the country the latter part of the summer. Now over POO child ren are entertained at a time, and in the 20 years over 26. 900 children have had a fortnight's outing in the country. Expenses have been reduced to a mini mum. Three dollars will cover an entire fortnight for child at the Farm. A glance at a returning party and at one going to the Farm shows the good accomplished. Fresh air combined with good food and plenty of it, is a wonderful transformer. The children are taken from the city missions and the tenement house district, some from the missions in Brooklyn and many from the poor of the East Side; in fact, no needy child is refused, unless for lack of room. Our season is from about June 20th until school opens in September, and visitors are invited for any day during that term. The kindness of their many friends, who have made this work possible, is heart fly appr eciated. Additional contribut- ions are earnestly solicited, the charity cannot be continued without | money. RemittanceS may be made payable to Life's Fresh Air Fund, IT West 31st street, New York.
