at! enterprising and more fear- loss, aps because their lot is cast in a wilder country, are Misses Gus- sic and Louise Lahm, of Mendocino county, Cal. Several years ago they succeded their father in the manage- ment of a 10,000acrc ranch, the value } of which has steadily their control. Z Stock raising and all the varied de- tails of a mountain farm occupy their attention. More than 5,000 sheep, large droves of cattle and many horses are looked after by them. They brand the young cattle, mark the sheep, super- vise the shearing, market the wool and other products. Plowing, harrowing, sowing and har- vesting' are in the list of their agri- cultural - employments. Trailing, trap- ping, and shooting game are practiced for amusement and the protection of their flocks. These girls are able to lasso a wild steer or unbroken horse with unerr- ring success. They round up and bring home the sheep and cattle. When some of these are missing in the count at night, the girls jump astride their horses and set out in quest of the grown under OOK inside your watch cover and see! > ness, Bill!
