Put Dime in Slot:
Duck, Rabbit and
Hens Perform
KANSAS CITY, (#>—A duck, a
rabbit and two hens will put on
a show for you at Kansas City’s
Swope Park Zoo—-if you put a
dime in a slot.
They have learned that a dime
makes a signal that means they
will get food if they do their little
acts. i
Desmon, the duck, will beat a
bass drum with her beak.
Romeo, the rabbit, will smooch
a plastic model of a little girl rab
bit until an electric light turns on
and makes her blush. ,
Isabel, a white hen, will play a
game that looks like baseball.
Penelope, another hen, will
hand you a postcard.
While the team is on duty there
are five other hens, three other
ducks and three other rabbits
awaiting turns; on stage. Each
team is relieved after an hour or
two of work.
The educated poultry and ani
mal act was developed by a Hog
Springs, Ark., firm which also
has a concession at the Fort
Worth, Tex., zoo. Out of 10 dimes
dropped in the slots, the firm gets
six and the city four.

* FAIRBANKS UPl—A pair of Ne
braskans are planning to haul a
herd of South Dakota cattle 3,000
miles to grazing lands in a region
where winter cold reaches 40 be
low zero.
It will be a rare test of beef in
an “icebox” while still on the
hoof.
Alaska Railroad officials re
ported yesterday the project is
planned by Berle Mercer, 29, and
Dan McMurtrey, 25, his brother
in-law, both formerly of Thed
ford, Nebraska.
The cattle—80 or 90 head—will
be the rugged and shaggy Scotch
highland breed. Most, if not all,
of the cattle will come from a
ranch at Belvidere, S.D.
The men have grazing rights on
290,000 acres north of Mt. Mc
Kinley, the continent’s highest
peak. t
An Alaska Railroad agent here
said the two men plan to start the
! cattle northward by truck on the
I Alaska Highway around May 20.
It is about a four-day trip. Then
they will be shipped by rail 107
miles to the grazing lands,
j Native grasses grow in lush
abundance during the summer
when daylight extends for 20
hours or more in this “land of the
midnight sun.” Winds usually
keep the forage swept free of
heavy snow in winter.
The Scotch highland breed is
reported to have a strong herd
instinct, which is good protection
against wolves. The farmers are
not worried about bears because
the bruins basically are vegetar
ians and reputedly prefer berries
to Scottish T-bones.
There is a good demand for
beef in Alaska and this week’s
supermarket ads quote beef pot
roasts at 59 to 69 cents a pond.
