Hookup Shown for Benefit of Wiring Is plicity Itself; Chances for Going Wrong Are Minimized. Non-Technic- al By ROBERT LA MAR All men are born free and equal. So gays the Constitution of the United States. However, the very world we live In delies this. Some are rich, others are well off, while the vast majority slave or sturve. Therefore, we do not spend our money without looking before we leap. If you be desirous of purchasing a radio set that will do the work of the more costly ones, and yet be Inexpensive, I think I know of the set you are looking for. The receiver costs but a few dollars to construct, yet operates ns well ns the best. Of course It may not look ns well as the more expensive sets. Now for the set. A few things about It wont harm a bit; In fact, they mny help materially. The receiver Is of the good old regenerative type, and, to he more specific, It Is what is known ns the "ultra-audion, the old, yet efficient, means of obtaining regeneration, as discovered by Dr. Lee De Forest As few controls as cotiid be wished for are employed, to wit, but one. Strangely, It Is not a condenser, a coupler, or even a variometer. Indeed, It is quite different. A metal ring! Strange, but true. Actual Results Obtained. The writer mnde a receiver of this type some time ' ago. The Ret was constructed very poorly, connections being unsoldered, and all parts laid e on a breadboard. A audio amplifier of standard design was connected after It so that the use of head phones might be avoided. The log of stations heard after a two-stag- L four inches for the length, and the six Inches as the circumference. Clean the brass where the ends meet and with a little solder and some paste, solder them together. You will then find thnt this circular form will fit very snugly inside of the coil which you prepared but a few minutes ago. Then take a piece of brass an use It as a crosspiece so that there will be some place for a wooden rod to control the movement of this metal cylinder. A piece of dowel pin of an Inch In diameter will serve as the shaft for the cylinder. Weve got to mark the panel out so that there will be a uniform, panel layout. When doing this, you will find It best to mount the one-quart- well-balance- d, coil at so thnt the right center of the panel the shaft will project at dead center. Then mount the rheostat a bit below center and toward the right. The peep holes for the tube should be marked out above center and In a line with the shaft for the rheostat. Drill the panel carefully, feeling your way, so that you will not burr the panel when the drill goes through. The best way to nvoid this Is to apply little pressure on the drill, and turn It in a steady fashion. Mount the coll to the panel with two angle brasses, and fix the rod so that It passes through the panel dial smoothly. Tighten the four-incon the rod so that by pushing It in and out you will be able to control the position of the metal cylinder. Wiring the Set. The next step would be to mount the rheostat, binding posts und the baseboard, upon which should be mounted the socket. Now that everything Is mounted, we mny proceed with the wiring of the receiver. Solder a piece of bus bar to the antenna post on the set and run It to the beginning of the fifteen turns. Next continue this connection to the plate of the vacuum tube socket. Connect a wire the plate of the socket to the phone binding post ns shown in Figure 1, The end of the fifteen turns Is connected to the ground binding posf and to one side of a .001 fixed Dubilier condenser. Connect the other side of the condenser to the filament minus, llun a wire from the beginning of the 100 turns to one side of the grid leak and condenser combined. The other side of the grid condenser Is connected directly in as short and direct a possible way to the grid binding post on the socket. Further Wiring. Now we connect the end of the secondary (100 turn winding) to the filament plus. We have but a few connections to go. They are : A wire from the remaining phone post to the B plus, a wire from the B minus to the A" minus binding A plus. The post goes to one side of the rheostat, the remaining terminal of which goes to one of the F posts on the socket. A wire Is then run from the other F post on the socket to the "A" battery plus. Well, the wiring of the set Is done. It might be wise to recheck your connections, following either the schematic diagram of Figure 2 or the picture hook-uof Figure 1. Undoubtedly the set will work, but the signals mny be weak. If this be the case, the secondary leads are reA transposition versed. of leads should settle this trouble In a Jiffy. If the set bursts-Int- o oscillation too easily, try lower and higher values to condensers from the ground to the filament minus. (The higher the value the more It will oscillate). When the copper or brass ring la drawn Inside the tube (remember It Is not connected in any electrical way). It concentrates the magnetic field of the coll. When the ring Is slid out of the surrounding field of the coll, the distributed capacity of the Inductance Is Increased. Consequently we are able to tune the set merely by the relative position of a brass ring. No condensers of any kind are used, and consequently the efficiency Is kept nea the hundred mark."

That Is to have the wire pass over a warm stove before being wound on. Then wind the wire on tightly, taking care that each turn is close to the previous one. Now anchor the two ends with sealing wax. Next, wind fifteen turns of the same size wire on top of the 100 turns.

Plan of Organization. The marketing was organized first by securing a list of every woman In the county having hens for sale and the number available. Next a meeting was held In each community represented on the list, at which the members interested were Instructed in dressing, packing, making out bills, and other selling details. Each community was given a special time for counIts shipment to Wadesboro,-thof week market. each ty Wednesday was set aside as dressing day" and as packing day. The Thursday hens were brought to a central point, usually a club members house or the schoolhouse, and everybody helped with the work of killing, picking, and, after the hens had been cooled overnight, packing In barrels. If, as frequently happened, the extension agent received telegrams calling for an increased number of chickens, the local leader in some community farther down the schedule was notified to have her club members get their supply ready. People Enjoy Themselves. People had a good time at these lien parties. The huscommunity bands and often the whole family came and helped. The value of receiving a cheek for all ones poultry at one time was greatly appreciated. Orders from individual housewives and from grocery stores, hotels, and tea rooms were also filled by parcel post. Through selling dressed chickens, orders were also secured for other products, Including turkeys, fig preserves, pickles, and butter.

You Should Have the Best-- Dr. Forced Molting Causes Egg Production to Stop The common Idea that If hens ate compelled to molt early they will quickly feather out and commence laying early In the winter Is erroneous, concludes the New Jersey College of Agriculture at New Brunswick after several years of observation. Laying hens should be allowed to molt naturally. An early molt does not signify quick resumption of prohen duction. Usually the is the heavier producer. In fact, a lack of feather growth Is one of the things to look for when selecting hens for bolding over a second year for the breeding pen. Very often show birds are forced Into a molt by a restriction of feed. This Is done so that the birds may be in full feather once more for the show season. This should never be practiced with utility stock. It will cause production to stop and will weaken the hens at a time of the year when their full strength Is needed. It Is unwise to change the general character of the feed during the molt. InThe addition of some gredient, however, such as sunflower seed, will aid in the .development of new feathers. late-moltin- g Decided Improvement in Grasshopper Situation There has been a decided Improvement in the grasshopper situation In the northwestern states, according to the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. The loss by grasshoppers during the past season has been much less than that of the years 1922 and 1923. Splendid results have also been obtained by the entomologists of the Billings (Mont.) laboratory in the control of the Mormon cricket with the poisoned bran mash and by the entomologists of the Salt Lake City laboratory In the control of the alfalfa weevil with arsenical dust.

The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine.

CANKERWORMS ARE INJURIOUS TO FRUIT AND OTHER TREES 1 During Abundance Periods They Do Much Damage. (Prepared by the United States Department of Arrlculture.) Cankerworms have been known in this country since colonial days, but not until about fifty years ago was it realized that two species were present. They have since been known as the fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometarla Harris) and the spring cankerworm (Paleacrita veroata Peck). The economic and scientific history of these two species and the differences between them, together with a discussion of their feeding habits, distribution, means of dissemination, and measures necessary to control each species, are Included in a new United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 1238, The Cankerworms, by P.
