The finish of the piece can be of any desired color or nature. It Is well to give the Inside of the horn several coats of good varnish to produce a clear, smooth surface for the sound to travel over. It might be well to bring out the principle Involved In a receiver or any horn. There Is no amplification In the horn. The horn serves as the connecting link between the small volume of' air,' which vibrates with the receiver diaphragm, and the outside air of the room. Any increase of sound, which might seem to the layman as amplified in the horn. Is only the result of a better connection, through the horn, between the small volume of air In the receiver and that In the room. loud-speaki- unit Is clamped against the top of the base by a wooden strip, held In place by two long wood screws passing through the strip into the top of the box. Pads of rubber are placed wherever the receiver case touches the base. Pieces of an automobile1 Inner tube will serve this purpose.

The proper way Since the prongs of the WD11 tube are not all the same size, nor do they have the same relative connections as the other tubes, a p shown In Fig. 1, the making of a socket Is more practicable and less difficult than an adapter, which requires the base of a burned-ou- t tube. Take a piece of hard rubber or other Insulating material 2 Inches by 2 Inches, or the exact size of the socket you wish to replace, if you want to substitute In a set already made.

Much of the tendency to spring out of shape Is eliminated by this method of bending. The cleats shown In the assembly drawing prevent the thin material from bending or warping after It has been put In place. They 'should be fastened with small brass wood screws and glue. Only cleats necessary for strengthening the horn are shown In Ranchmen from various parts of the Northwest recently, spent a day at the' United States sheep . experiment station, Dubois, Idaho, where animal husbandmen of the Department of Agriculture demonstrated the results of much of the work which has been carried on there for several years. There were 75- - visitors, Including representatives of several state experiment stations and several men from the department at Washington. Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming were represented. At this station the department has been working for a number of years g on problems, . range management and winter maintenance. A part of the field day, which was held May 29, was taken up by a shearing demonstration In which ranchers had an opportunity to observe the yield and quality of fleeces from the various lots of sheep. About 760 anUhals were sheared that day, and during the season 2,300 fleeces were taken off. Most of the sheep being raised there are Ramboulllets crossbred and coarse-woo- l, types such as Corriedale and Columbia, the latter a type developed by the department Thqi Ramboulllets at this government ranch are an American type developed particularly for this region where feed Is comparatively sparse. They differ from the old type in being larger and smoother and freer from wool on the face. Detailed records aTe kept on the wool and mutton produced by all the different types, the feed and grazing, labor and the financial returns. The Corriedales have been found to produce an excellent quality of wool, but the Columblas yield heavier fleeces and their lambs are heavier. A cross of these two crossbred types Is being tried out and so far has been very successful both as a wool and mutton producer. The field day visitors were taken In automobiles over the range to show them the results of protecting the range where 17,000 acres has been Inclosed by a fence for three years. Thii has been found an effective way foi building up a good stand of grass, as the feed Inside the fence was much better than that Just outside aS a result of protection against roaming stock. The department also has dem. onstrated the value of assuring a water supply by the drilling of wells and the construction of reservoirs. It has been found to pay to haul water as much as three miles during very dry h weather, the cost being about cent a head dally during these periods. The water required dally and per ewe Is between s of a gallon. At the winter headquarters, where there is a stockade for 2,500 ewes, sunflower silage has been fed along with alfalfa hay with great success. The yield of this feed has been about four tons to the acre. Other feeds being tried there are alfalfa, sweet clover, peas, oats and peas, different rates of seeding being used. fine-wo- one-fourt- three-fourth- Farrowing Troubles Can Be Eliminated by Feeds 2 roll three of these strips an Inch long nail and one around around a a spike.

The cleat passing under the front panel, having the short bend, should have Its upper side rounded to fit this bend, and should be glued and screwed in place. Where cleats are added, they must be on the outside, to give a clear passage for the sound. The four pieces of the horn are fastened together after bending and drying, with small nails and glue.
