MOSSY GLEN.

Dear Little Men and; Little Women: we
spent the summer in the White Noun
tains, and my friend Mabelle and I had
the most fun In a small stream which
flowed In front of the house from Mount
Russell. One day when we were down
there, we thought 1t would be great fun
if we could build a miniature village; so
we each set to work to make house by
piling up stones in square. We then iaao
shingles on top, and covered the whole
thing with wet moss. When this was done
ve made doors and windows by removing
q few of the stones. My house I named
Sunnysfde, while Mabelle called hers Rock
Point, because If you stepped on any OF the
rocks near 1t they shook. I painted tiny
red sign for my doorway. and after build
ing lighthouses we laid boards across to
them, which we covered with moss, with
a row of stones on either side
The next day father made q tiny water
wheel from the cover of a cigar box. which
we placed just below some falls we had
built; and a long, white birch bridge, which
we made look very pretty by hanging par
fridge vines over the sides. Our next build
ing was a tiny lighthouse, which we made
from birch bark by sewing 1t round and
cutting q tiny hole IN the top for a
AIC|n
Island, which was really only pile Of rocks,
and put stones around the bottom The
whole place we called Messy Glen, and we
made path in from the road, where We
placed a sign.
A few days later we noticed some celiu-
Ioid TOYS while we were in the village and
MaheIle and I both purchased swan.
gold fish and a frog; and Mabelle s brother
who was quite interested in our little VII
Iage bought an alligator. These we put
in a lake. which we had damned or from
the rest of the water. Projecting out into
this lake we built tiny gardens, which we
filed with different varieties OF moss,
brought from various places. A birch bark
tent was built at one side, which we sur
rounded with tiny pine trees brought from
the woods With sailboatS and canoes
floating around it the lake was very
pretty.
After we had made the village, we de-
cided TO have some people to i've there
so we each procured a few clothesplns
which We dressed in bathing suits and caps
We found these very good dolls for our
village for they would not sink, and after
faces had been painted or them they really
locked quite we'll
Many people have been down TO visit
Messy Glen, and even people going by IN
wagons jumped down to see what Messy
Glen could be. Ny friend and both felt
sorry to go home to the city-far away
from Messy Glen.

itself. but that first week IS a tickIish
time
About D week or ten days before the
lambs began to come 7 started giving the
ewes q daily portion OF clover hay and
bran, about a pint apiece OF the latter.
And Of the ffty-two lambs born all but
three lived to market the next fall, and
brought the top market prices
las soon as the lambs were strong
enough and able 20 pick out their mothers.
they were allowed the run OF the floor of
the large barn. and when they got a
little older on warm, sunny days they
were turned into the yard for the sake Of
exercise The latter part of March the
ewes and their lambs, were turned out to
pasture. These three lambs were born
later than. the others and one of them was
not particularly vigorous. In April the
sheep were all sheared. They yielded 420
pounds of wool, which sold for s10S Is.
After grain cutting, along in Aug list,
the lambs were weaned aud turned nto
a stubble pasture. There was such a fine
aftergrowth OF red clover in this pasture
that two Of them died OF bloattng; the
others. though. grew and fatteued nicely

improved so rapidly that though none or
them had been up 10 my own when turned

them BY and by. fea ing to lose more
from bloating, I turned the entire flock
into the wooded pasture where there was

Stock raising sounds like rather a mas
culine business for a woman, but then
women are going into everything nowadays,
and sheep raising at least IL one Western
woman-s experience proves what others can
do. is well worth trying by any woman
who wants money and can do it It must
be hard to see the lambs go off to the
butcher. but then business is business. and
few women are too tender hearted to eat
lamb chops.

one ram. It cannot be charged, by the
way. that she is usurping the place OF a
man who needs the work. for she is man.
aging her bedridden fathers farm under
his direction and incidentally lifting q
mortgage on the farm.
II was because Of the mortgage that she
went into sheep raising. Hearing that
there was money TO be made in supplying
lambs for the Chicago market. she re-
solved to have some of that money. She
hadn't any capital, SO there was nothing
for IL bat TO borrow.
1T took front - she said when she told
the story at the end OF the year. IT hate
TO borrow, but the bank, when 1 applied,
was willing enough to let me have 500 at
per cent. With this I bought fifty ewes
and one ram, all graded Shropshires and
Cotswoids, and picked from clean, healthy
Western ffoczs. 1t was in October l got
them. and l turned them into wooded
pasture which had fairly good growth of
grass. timothy and clover. At night
housed them in sheds near the barns-sheds
with sloping floors, open to the south. Till
January I gave them no extra care or food.
but then the weather turned cold and
snowy so the sheep were kept IN the yard
till the sun was we'll up. and at night we're
given an extra feed Of timothy and clover
hay. Box racks opening at tho bottom were
the feeding places.
In February the lambs began 70 arrive,
and kept coming until well on into March.
