- In blind man's buff the players blind-fild one of them, and until he touches one of those who are playing he will be blind-folded. The boys in the snow put down a box, and a stick in under to hold up one side, and tie a cord to the stick, and throw meal on a sack under the box. When a few birds go in they pull the cord and the box falls on the birds.

- In winter I trap birds and rabbits. In Spring I go looking for bird's nests and make cages for birds.
