FRED H. H.--You can purchase turtles at any store where gold-fish and
materials for an aquarium are sold. They will cost you very little--ten
or fifteen cents apiece, perhaps, for small ones. If you are going to
the country, you can catch plenty of them yourself. By reading former
numbers of Our Post-office Box you will find many directions for the
care of turtles. A water turtle needs clean water, and also stones to
climb up on.
