In the evening I came to JӒMTEBÖLE where a number of women were sitting cutting the bark of aspen trees into thin strips. The bark is stripped when the tree is coming into leaf and stored under cover until the autunrm or the following spring, when it is cut up. It is then given to the cows, goats and sheep instead of hay, of which there is a great shortage since meadows here are, for the most part, bog. It is fed to the animals dry.
