- In the Summer time little girls go out in the fields and gather daises. Then they put a thread through each daisy until they have a long string. They tie the two ends then and put it on their necks for a neck-lace.
They also make dolls from potatoes. They get a long potatoe and stick two sticks it for the dolls legs, and two for the hands. Then they get a small potatoe for the head. They also makes motors from match-boxes and from soap-boxes. Boys make snares from wire. They put a ring on one end of the wire and put the other end in on the ring. Then they tie it to a bush. When the rabbit or hare comes he will be caught in it. When he pulls to get out the wire will tighten and he will be chocked.
