My Dear Sir:
& srues. PsEsIos~1'
CONFIDENTIAL AL.

My Dear Sir:
Wewant to do some bus mess in your local
j ty and have selected you to represent
there. We fully unders tand and appreci-
lite the reason why your people have almost
stopped buying lottery tickets; it is be-
cause there has been no prize Of value
drawn there for years, and many have thus
become discouraged and have ceased to pa
troni re lotteries entirely. There is but
way to revive the old-time interest and
exc tememt, and that is for some to
draw a prize large enough in value to
stimulate and induce others to start buy
ing ii ckets again. We give three hundred
more pri yes than any other company in the
world, and will guarantee that the sale of
few Of our ii ckets Will result in some
one drawing prize, as in our company one
number in every thirty three wins. If
some well-known man like yourself should
draw fifteen thousand dollars, four thou
sand dollars, two thousand dollars,
even one Thousand dollars in our lottery,
it would be the means Of selling thou
sands Of our tickets in your part Of the
country, and would create an old-time
boom for again. We will rtainly do
our part to again awaken public interest
in lotteries in your locality if you will
do yours. We enclose fifty one-dollar
tickets, and we want you to sell every
one Of them if you possibly can, as we want
just as many as possible in your town in
terested in this May drawing. We will
send you prize lists Of the drawing imme-
diately after it takes place, and in addi-
tion to this will telegraph you the Capt. tai
Prize number on the day Of the drawing, If
you sell all Of the fifty tickets Your
COMM SIS on will be Is per cent. Read the
Enclosed Gins true t ions to Agents. over
carefully, until you underst and them thor
oughly, and be careful to start your
mittance early as is convent emit, but not
later, under any circums tances, than Mon
day, May z. It being unlawful to use the
mail for lottery purposes, we caution you
against sending US any matter by mail, as
all such mail simply goes to the Dead
letter office at Washington. Send money
and all other communi cat ions by EXPRESS
ONLY Now do your best and leave the rest
to US. Yours sincerely,

How an American Bee journal Corre-
spondent Uses Taclss For Spacing Frames.
Let me tell how 1 use spacing tacks
and used them with satisfaction more
than ten years ago in Germany l use
the Gallup frame az by III inches
outside measurement), which | make
myself of common laths an inch wide.
In each frame four spacing tacks-wire
nails, thin, an inch long, with very
small hcads-are driven about an inch
from the ends Of the top and bottom
bars. The taclis stand out three-eighths
of an inch, so the frames are apart %
inches from center to center. They are
arranged as in Fig. /, the left being the
top bar and the right the bottom bar.
The top and bottom bars take each
two spacing tacks-the top bar one on
the right on the front side and one on
the left on the rear side. In the bottom
bar the tacks are arranged the other
way--viz, one on the left on the front

A Cheap but Good SiIo.

John Gould Of Ohio has proved that
a cheap silo need not be poor one. He
communicates to Country Gentleman his
success with silo built eight years ago
of wood and without stone foundation.
This silo is 10 by . feet, inside meas
ure, and % feet deep, and cost less than
$50 all told. He says:
The clay floor made by hard pound
ing, and concave in the center to avoid
strain on the sills, is i'll every way as
good floor as the grout and cement one
III the companion silo. The single ceiled
silO was not invented when these silOs
were built, and | have nothing to say
against them, but | am so fully satisfied
with the walls Of the double boarded
ones, and as two boards an inch thick
can be purchased cheaper here than a
good enough quality Of flooring, and
make so much stronger walls, | am still
III favor of the old way of building
was told that double boarded silo
would soon rot out and the paper lining
soon dissolve between the boards, but
none of these things has as yet occurred.
In the eight filings, there have not
been ten baskets of waste save ON the
top, and no costly silo could have been
better, so far as keeping the contents is
concerned, than this $50 silo of mine.

IN IInMEMAnE MIRE FENCE-

wire an iron spool The wires go
through the end post and are wound ON
the spool l use long, broad staples, but
do not drive them home, so that the
wire is loose from one end to the other
end To keep the wires from spreading,
SO that animals can crawl through, [
fasten them together with pieces Of the
same wire cut 3 inches longer than
l wish the wires in the fence to be
apart. One end Of these wires is bent in
the shape of letter U, by bending it in
hole bored 1 y inch deep in a half
inch round iron. Unless one use some
thing to keep the wires in place when
these tie pieces are fastened on, the fence
wires will he drawn together. use a
piece of hardwood board one-half by an
inch, 4 feet long, with flat piece of
iron screwed to one side of it. This stick
has notChes filed thrce-eighths of an inch
deep in the wood and iron to correspond
with the wires so that when | place the
stick against the fence one wire goes i'll
each notch. Ny stick is feet long,
and has notches cut in it every 6 inches.
Where l wish my fence wires to be
and hang Il tie with hook on the other
side Of the fence from me, and the low
er end of the tie hanging on the other
side of the lower wire to be tied. If you
wish your fence wires to be tied every six
feet, begin three feet from the post and
tie the two top wires, then skip one
space and fasten the next wires, and SO
ON until the ground is reached. The
stick may be moved over three feet, and
the two wires skipped the first time be
fastened as in Fig. /.
These tie pieces are fastened to the
wire with piece Of fiat steel 6 inches
long and an inch wide, bent and filed
hook shaped. To fasten the top of the
tie | hang it close to the notched stick
| (have the wires drawn Tight, take this
piece of steel in my r;yht hand, hang it
on the fence wire to the right of the
tie, turn it over the fence wire until
the notch in the steel catches in the
short end of the tie and wind it around
the fence wire without any trouble The
lower end hangs on the other side of the
lower wire. Catch the end of the tie
that hangs below the wire in the bend
of the steel with the notch in the steel
against the fence Wire Give the tie a
bend around the wire and finish the job
the same as for the upper end Of the tie.
This makes the best and cheapest
fence of which l know without any ex-
ception. use a 2 inch staple one-half
inch wide, and when l fasten the wire
am careful to place the points of the
staple so that they will not split the
post. 1t will give half stronger job
than staples of the same length bent for
round wire. Outside Of my own work
ON my tools for my fence paid 10 cents
to a blacksmith l have put on the ties
of five wire fence 40 rods long in a
half day.

From the Kew Jersey station comes a
report of some field experiments con-
Quoted with the view Of checking the
soil rot Of sweet potatoes. Series Of rows
of plants growing i'll infested soil We're
treated as follows:
/. On May l3, two rows, while still
open and before manuring, We're sprayed
thoroughly with the bordeaux mixture.
2. On May 13. two rows sprayed as in
l after the manure had been placed. 3.
Two rows left untreated 4. On May
10, two rows sprayed after they We're
made up and before setting the plants.
.. On May 20, two rows with the plants
sprayed directly after setting. 6. On
Aug, 10, two rows sprayed after the
plants had run vines Is to 90 inches
long. The results obtained showed THAT
spraying the rows before the addition of
manure is the better way of treating the
ground for the prevention Of the soil rot
of the sweet potato. There appears from
the tabulated results given gradual
increase i'll the amount of soil rot pres
ent from the first series to the last.

side and one on the right on the rear
side. You see, this arrangement remains
the same if you turn the frame front to
back or back to front.
In order to space the first and last
frames accurately the front and back
walls of the hive have each two little
cleats, three eighths Of an inch thick
and about = inches long, nailed to
them. On the front wall they are ar
ranged thus: Above on the left and be-
low ON the right hand side. On the
back wall reversed y-above on the right
and below on the left side. The upper
ends of these cleats above are even with
the upper surfaces of the top bars of the
frames, and the lower ends of the cleats
below are on level with the under sur
faces Of the bottom bars. If your remove
the cover of the hive and every other
frame out of it, the top view will look
like Fig. 2.
AS 1 said above, 1 use for spacing
tacks thin wire nails, an inch long,
with very small heads The reason is
that they might not interfere very much
with the wire basket of the extractor. l
have no trouble with brace combs One
thing that is against this method of self
spacing of the frames is, one must be
careful in taking out one of the inner
frames, or the nail will cut through the
adjacent combs. But if you leave lit
tie play behind the last frame and move
all the frames little backward until
you come to the one you intend to take
out, it can be done without injuring the
frames next to it.

FOREIGN EXHIBITS AT ATLANTA.
They VIII Probably BE Numerous and In
teresting.

When the original plans for the Cotton
States and international exposition at At
lanta were formulated it was intended to
make the exhibition chiefly a display of
southern industries and products, and an
elaborate array of foreign exhibits was
scarcely hoped for. As the plans grew,
however, the scope of the exposition was
broadcncd, and when Chcvalier Antonio
Macchi was appointed commissioner gen
eral for Europe last February he sailed at
once for London and began an earnest can
vass of England and the continent.
He visited all the capitals of Europe, ev
erywhere telling the story Of Atlanta 5
enterprise and describing the advantages to
manufacturers of having their wares prop
erly represented. Mr.. Macchi says he
found many business men who had never
heard of Atlanta, but their recollections of
the Chicago fair were 50 pleasant and Wv
id that he had no difficulty in interesting
them in the new project.
Onehalf the space in the Manufactures
building has been set aside for European
exhibits and Chevalier Macchi announces

TENNNSON DEACON. OF Alfred LORD
Tennyson this cross, a beacon to Sailors is
raised by the people of Frcshwatcr and
others who desired to honor him in Eng
land and America"
There is II peculiar fitness in both the
choice of site and design. The site on
Highdown forms part Of the manor of
Farringford, which was Lord Tennyson s
home during the latter years of his life
and was one Of the favorite objects of his
daily walks until within few years of
his death.
The Highdown is on the western end
of the isle of Wight and is cut off by
Freshwater gap so as to form peninsula.
1t is picturesque place, rich in memories
of England's faVorite poet. The mOnu-
ment will overlook the Solent, which,
with the roadstcad of Spithead, separates
the island from the mainland. The down
is clothed with furze, and the turf is full
of orchids and dwarf violcts. 1t is the
home of sea birds and wild looking sheep.
The appropriateness of the form Of the
monument is manifest in the selection of
the Iona cross, as TennysOn was deeply in
terested in Celtic Christianity.
This is the site of a serviceable and his
toric lighthouse, which had been much
lllpdlTcu ny In6 kulNcS Vi rdpdClOuS NlSlu-
ors and relic hunters This old structure
was replaced two or three years ago by a
modern erection of tar and asphalt, which
in turn gives way to the new and beauti-
full Tennyson memorial. 1t will therefore
cause no outrage of sentiment on the score
of what it displaces.
The Trinity house and board of trade
will accept the beacon as national proper
ty and provide for its proper maintenance
On the official charts it will be marked as
"the Tennyson beacon"
