five minutes between each; then add
the flour, well sifted, with the powder and the extract. Add the
milk last, and heat until the batter is light and thoroughly
mixed. Bake in well-greased cake moulds about forty minutes in a
quick oven.

FRANK F. R. sends a recipe for caramels to the cooking club, which is
the same as the one from Fanny S. in Post-office Box No. 31, with the
addition of three table-spoonfuls of flour.

RYE, NEW YORK.

We have about fifty pigeons, and a whole flock of hens, chickens,
turkeys, and guinea-fowls. I have a flower garden, and some lovely
rose-bushes. I wish some correspondent could tell me how to kill
the rose-bugs, and how to tame my pigeons. I am nine years old.

We moved up in the country the 1st of April. I like YOUNG PEOPLE
very much, especially the story of "The Moral Pirates," and the
Post-office Box.

I have a little Shetland pony. I called her Bessy. She is less
than four feet high. She likes to eat corn.

What can I feed my turtles on?

I am collecting postage stamps, and would like to exchange.

If you will read former numbers of the Post-office Box, you will find
full directions for feeding turtles.

If all the readers of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE like to read it as
well as I do, they like it well enough to take it forever. Nearly
all of the correspondents write about their pets, but I have not
one, except my little baby brother, who is nicer to me than all
the pets in the world. We have a few roses in bloom, but they are
almost all faded now.

If John H. B., of Greensburg, Kentucky, can spare any of his flint
arrow-heads, I would be very thankful for one or two, because I
never saw but one in my life. I am fourteen years old.

I have been making a collection of birds' eggs for about two
months, and I have forty-seven different kinds. If any one living
in the far West or South would exchange eggs with me, I would be
much pleased.
