The plate circuit of each tube' which includes the primary winding! of a coupling transformer must be', assigned for maximum power ampll-- i flcatlon, while at the same time the ratio of the transformer must be such; as to deliver maximum potential to. the grid circuit of the next tube. The greatest advantages of the transformer method of coupling audio frequency amplifiers are the high degree of amplification, the relative simplicity of operation, and the low plate voltage required. Chief among the disadvantages of the transformer coupled frequency amplifier Is noise. Also the transformers amplify different frequencies to different degrees, which means that when this type of coupling Is used for radiophone reception, the voice Is distorted by the amplifying Prac- tical Method of Coupling for the Amateur. Figure XXVIII shows the actual circuit of a three-stag- e resistance coupled amplifier. The output of such a circuit is K times K times K the input or assuming the amplification factor of each tube to be 10, the output would be 1,000 times the Input.

In wnicn national banks, to compete successfully with state Institutions, are allowed to maintain additional offices. The fact that there was such a policy came to light when the comptroller sent a letter to Senator McCor-mlc-k (111.) In answer to a protest from the Chicago and Cook County Bankers' association admitting frankly that he had found a means of getting around the law against national bank branches, and that he had no hesitation in resorting to such an evasion If evasion It be In order that national banks might survive the competition of state Institutions. In this communication Comptroller Crissinger agreed that the national n er Battery Needs Every Car. The storage battery cannot be disregarded for any great length of time without suffering a reaction. The necessity of replenishing the individual cells with distilled water more frequently than usual during the summer months Is due to the fact that evaporation of the water Is much more rapid, obviously the effect of the hot weather.

Because of using the condenser to, what one might say, insulate the grid from the "B" battery potential. It Is necessary to use a grid leak, to keep the charge which collects on the grid from becoming excessive and reducing the plate current to zero. One of the chief disadvantages of the resistance coupled amplifier is that very high plte battery potentials are necessary. The amplification per tube of a resistance-couple- d amplifier Is not as high as It Is for some other methods but It Is stable and does not distort the Input as much as do some other methods used .which give greater amplification per tube.

A choke coil consists of a number of turns of wire wound up In a multilayer coil and may or may not have an Iron core. A coll of thin kind offers a high to the flow of alternating current, but hns a relatively low direct current resistance. The choke coll on account of having a low ohmlc resistance, will have a smaller method of coupling, so that lower MB" battery potential can be used on choke coll coupled amplifiers and the batteries can be of smaller cnpaclty.

If all ordinances on floor construction were summed up In a single sentence they would read about as follows: "No building shall be used for stabling cows which Is not provided with an easily cleaned. Impervious floor." The dairyman must be constantly at war with filth. The cows must be kept clean, the utensils in which milk Is kept must be kept clean and the barn must be clean. An easily cleaned Impervious floor In the dairy barn is very necessary. Concrete la used In many sections of this ountry for dairy barn flcors. Plank floors with cracks full of filth are being taken up and a permanent concrete floor put In their place. This work can be done at any season of the year when there Is time to do the work. The door can be laid In winter If the Inte rior of the barn can be kept above freezing for four or five days until concrete has hardened. Avoid Costly Mistakes. A good plan is necessary so as to avoid costly mistakes. Once concrete has hardened It Is difficult to remove. Most agricultural colleges hnve suggested dnlry barn layouts which they furnish free to farmers. Mary barn equipment manufacturers also furnish this Information without charge. The first step In the construction of a dnlry born floor Is to clear out rubbish and bring the area to proper level. All holes should be filled and if thre are any soft spots these should be tamped solid.

The .requirements for the successful, storage of potatoes are summed up: by the United States Department ofi Agriculture as follows: The tubers must be protected from; extremes of cold and heat A temper-- ; ature ranging from 35 to 40 degrees F is considered satisfactory. Sufficient ventilation must be pro vided to remove foul air and excess moisture. The storage house must be so constructed as to make It possible to exclude the light, as the table quality of potatoes quickly deteriorates If they are exposed to llsrht. The tubers should lie dry and reasonably free from dirt when put Into storage. An excess of moisture or of sott Increases the uinount of heat generated lu a newly stored pile of potatoes.

All diseased, badly cat, or bruised tubers should be removed before putting potatoes Into storage. It Is not advisable to store potatoes In bulk at a greater depth than 5 or 0 feet, and the floor dimensions of the bin should not be grenter thnn 12 by 12 feet unless provided with a series of ventilating shafts for the esc:ii of moisture and heat. Ventilated division walls and floors are also desirable.
