NEW PU7/.LES 



No. 64.— NUMERICAL 



My 1 to 3, you will agree. 

 Upon Tom's head you'll often see. 

 As I'm alive, you can't contrive, 

 To clamber out a 3 to 5. 



When solving, then with ink and pen, 

 You neatly write a 6 to 10. 

 If Bilkins had but millions two, 

 He'd be a bloated ALL, 'tis true. 

 Denver, Colo. Tommy Tucker.

CHAT 



We were very much surprised at the interest 

 taken in the anagram story, and felt safe in 

 offering the prize, but Beth captured it with an 

 exact answer, and several sent nearly complete 

 answers. Jerry only had one letter transposed 

 wrong, which made the word "fare" read "fear." 



One of our best supporters writes: "I would 

 much rather see you offer plants instead of the 

 paper for prizes." We will try and have a 

 better variety in future, and we think the ladies 

 will be pleased with the prizes offered this 

 month. 



We are pleased to hear that our friend 

 Eleanor has opened a department in the North- 

 Western Agriculturist, and we would like to 

 have our many frienfis surprise her by sending 

 puzzles to Mrs. E. E. Bartlett, Eural No. 2, 

 Good Thunder, Minnesota. At least send for 

 a copy of the department. 



We are a little mixed on our special prizes, 

 and if there are any who have not received the 

 prizes awarded them we will be pleased to hear 

 from them, and we will have them sent. 



Aunt Eunice. ,
