HIVES at 600 Cedar street NV. Here's
her story:
Dear sir: When I was years old
we were living in Caracas, Venezuela,
South America. Every morning
went to play with some little friends
whose grandmother owned large pri-
vate park just across the street from
us. In this park was large collec-
ton OF valuable plants. and in large
cages were peacocks, pigeons, pheas-
ants and many varieties of chickens
She also had large ape on a chain
One day when we were playing
there, the ape got loose and started
after those in the park l grabbed my
little friends arm and together we
headed for the door. The ape caught
hold of one of the other girls heels
and tore it. 1t also bit its two masters
who tried to catch it. Fortunately
got home safely. The ape had to be
shot because they couldn't catch it.
Even though I was too young to
remember this happening, it has left
In me fear for all animals, which
still exists today
"HOW I MAKE SPENDING MONEY
A BUSINESs-LIKE way of making
spending money is described in
this letter by Russell Davis, Is, of
Rockville. Md, As Russell points out,
by operating a small poultry estab-
lishment he not only adds to his in
come, but is receiving practical ex-
perience in an occupation he hopes
to continue later in life.
Dear Editor:
Since was old enough to walk, I
have been interested in the poultry
business. My first venture was a hen
with 80 chicks Out of this brood of
chickens. raised % to maturity. 1
then sold them to another boy for so
cents apiece. Out of this I realized
about SIS profit.
1.-THE next year all of the poultry
on the place fell into my hands when
my father took over a gas station. The
stock consisted of 30 Leghorn hens,
one henhouse, 40 by 20 feet, and two
brooder houses.
That spring put out $50 Leghorn
chicks. Out of these chicks raised
40 fine pullets. I sold Is of the pullets
for 81 each and kept the rest. The
cockerels I disposed of for fryers. In
the fall sold all of the old hens and
kept the pullets.
All during the winter I have sold
eggs, and I have realized about $50
profit. Early in February I bought
50 Barred Rock chicks to raise and
sell for broilers. Out of these chicks,
which are now weeks old, hope to
make a nice profit. My poultry is
not only my source of spending money
but also hope to make poultry farm
ing my life work

HOW 1 SPENT ONE VACATION"

A T LAST the Letter Box has re-
ceived several letters on vacations
