« K letters this week. Hore- 
i after I will give the story every 
i other week. That will give ns 
v all a ehance. Wo can see our 
, letters in print and still find out 
■ about the teacher. Of course 
V wo can't please everybody just 
«s we would like to, hut we will 
come as near it. as we can. 
Wk have pretty cold weather still. The 
roads are still frozen solid. I know that well, 
because I walk over them twice every day. 
March is a very “blowy” month. Where 1 
live the wind comes sweeping over the hills as 
though something wus after it. This wind 
will blow itself out yet and then we shall have 
good weather. 1 shall be glad of it. 
LETTERS FROM THE COUSINS. 
Dicah Uncle Mark: I have been going to 
school this winter. We have a seven-month 
school. Our school will be out in one week 
and three days. I am glad spring will soon 
be here, for i love spring-time, I want to 
take music lessons after my school is out, for 
1 want to he a music teacher, 1 am a little 
girl IS years old. My Papa has a nice peach 
orchard. He has 4.000 trees in it. If Uncle 
Mark ever comes near iny homo 1 would like 
to have him come and see my Papa. 
Your niece, cora oakes. 
Armenia. Ohio. 
|1 like good music. Rome people think poor 
music is good enough, but I don’t think so. I 
hojie you will he able to play well. When I 
come your way I shall surely come and see 
you. —u. m.J 
Dear Uncle Mark: 1 read the letters of 
the cousins with great pleasure and would like 
to join your club. The snow is all gone 
around here hut the hanks along the fences 
and they are goiug very fast. We have 40 
head of cat tle and three mules to do the work, 
and one full-blood Hamiltonian mare. Wo 
have aeoltoutof that mare; bis name is Cleve. 
Does Uncle Mark think it a good cross? Lost 
year mother and my three sinters raised KM) 
Bronze turkeys. Late in the fall they sold 70 
of them for $00, the rest were sold for 
breeders; the gobblers at $2 and the hens at 
#1 per bend. The Bronze turkey is the tam¬ 
est breed that vve ever raised, It stays at 
homo to lay its eggs and also to hatch them. 
My little sister has a pair of wild geese and 
she hires them out to hunters to hunt geest- 
with. 1 have six Pekin ducks and they have 
just begun to lay their eggs. Ducks ure lazy 
little birds and do not make a nest but lay 
their eggs any where they take a notion. Ho 
in order to get their eggs wo have to keep 
them shut up a few hours in the morning. I 
am 12 years old. hkn.i, a. kmkrton. 
Portage, Wis. 
11 think that, will make a fine cross. I would 
like to see your poultry.—u. M.] 
Dear Uncle Mark. I am a little girl 10 
years old. I would like to join the Y.

ters. I went to school this winter till 
Christmas; then my little sister Lizzie and I

more. Last summer J’apa gave me a little 
garden. I planted some beaus and peas and 
tomatoes and onions and some (lowers. 1 like 
to work in a garden. We have a pet cat, his 
name Is Harry. When we were sick he would 
sit on the bed all day with us. 
From your niece, ROSA K. moiir.
