Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here l
come again to thank Aunt Julia for printing
my other letter. Cousins, will take for
my subject, Homes of Animals" Nearly
every animal has a home except the wild
horses They wander in bands wherever
there Is grass and water; in winter they
dig the snow away with their feet and in
this way reach the grass. The squirrel has
snug home in q hollow tree. In this he
stores A supply of nuts for the winter. You
have all seen the coy nest of the mouse.
The young mice need the protection of the
soft nest so cunningly hidden away and
they could not live without it. The trap
door spider lives in a small tube in the
ground. The tube is about half inch in di-
ameter and six inches long and has a trap
door at the upper end. Ants build homes
underground. They seem to be busy all the
time. They place the dirt from the under
ground passage neatly around the door.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: will
try to visit you all this cool Sunday after
noon. have thought OF writing lots of
times, but was afraid you wouldn't have
room for so many. l want to thank you,
Aunt Julia. for printing my letter l wrote
over a year ago, and surely hope you will
print my letter this time. as l haven't seen
letter from the dear old state of Kentucky
n so long. Wonder what is the matter with
the Kentucky girls and boys? Busy with
sheir work. l guess. We have $40 little
chickens and some hens setting. We are
getting six dozen eggs day. The farmers
1round here will be awful late with their
york as ii has been raining SO mucn mere or
Iate. Well, it will be sneep snea rug
time. How many of the girls help shear
sneep? l do for one. We VIII have twenty
Iour to shear. We have thlrty-r1ve peallr1-
full lams. I guess lots of the cousins are
nshins these days, my brother went tlsnlng
the other evening and caught twenty-three
fish. One day not long ago we cleaned our h
corn cri and killed fifty -three rats and let
several get away. What We have in our
-arden looks real pretty, the peas are bloom.
ing. This spring sold $50 IS worth of
turnip greens and spring onions. l think
there are lots of ways women can make pin
money instead of depending on the man to
make all the living. But it seems to me
that most men more for the kind of
girls and women that SIT and rock tuau they
do for the kind that work. I surely do en-

crowd there. Well, strawberry time will
soon be here. We have a small patcn, none
We will have plenty of berries. What Is any
netter than strawberry ice cream?
But my, it is most too cool today for ice
cream. Well, this is Mothers day, every
one that has mother ought to be thankful

visit and | will go before l break any rules.
Good-by 10 all for long time. then, if
am welcomed ! will come again. Your old
