The main problem is to use a type of tuning unit that will permit maximum seillustrated a lectivity. In the hook-u- p varlocoupler is used in conjunction with a variable condenser for the tuning unit the rotor supplies the feed back of the plate circuit The circuit is not primarily intended for loop aerial reception, although one end can be connected to the antenna post the other tod left open, and a regular ground connection used. When so connected, some very good results are possible. If a straight wire aerial is used, a length of 50 feet can be thrown over a convenient tree. Of course this will not give the best results. If time is available, the wire should be suspended between insulators. A copper rod driven into moist ground will give sufficient ground connection. This can be Improved by soaking the ground around the rod with Snap Fasteners Are Aid to Experimenter Use Telephone Jacks for Contact Switches The small snap fasteners for dresses stores that are sold in five and ten-cefor five cents a dozen may be put to a great many uses by the radio experimenter. The accompanying sketches show a few of the uses to which they can be adapted. These fasteners make very neat binding posts and by using different sizes and different halves of the fasteners the set can be made so that It is impossible to connect it up wrong. of the fastener By soldering one-haon the phone cord and the other half 'on the panel with a common pin as shown, the phones can be plugged in quickly and if the cord gets a strong pull they will release and not pull the set off the table. A very good multipoint switch can be made by pinning to the panel as many points as wanted In a circle and also one at the center of the circle, and then with the two halves of the fastener soldered onto a strip of copper at a distance equal to the radius of the circle a switch arm can be made. The fastener in the center makes a good swivel and when the right point of the switch is found in tuning the other fastener can be Another evidence of the cleverness of the radio amateur-l- s the making of a compact and neat multiple contact switch for panel mounting from ordinary telephone Jacks. Such switches possess the desirable feature of taking up a minimum of panel space, are easy of Installation and require but one hole in the panel. Most of the tele phone jacks are constructed with sil salt water. The tuning condenser should have a capacity of .001 microfarad, to cover the increased wave length range. The rotating plates should be connected to the ground side. A blocking condenser of .005 microfard capacity is inserted in the rotor circuit so as to avoid short circuiting? the batteries through the plate circuit The grid leak can be of the variable type, but this is left to the option of the maker. The tube is a detector, although hard tubes such as the C301A can be substituted. In such a case it may be advisable to increase the plate battery voltage. A cushion mounting for the tube socket Is recommended, as a portable set gets considerable knocking around that does not help preserve the tube filament The rheostat resistance will depend on the type of tube used. If a UV199, C301A, or TJV201A is used a 20 to rheostat is required. Otherwise the standard rheostat is suff' icient .... ....

In order to adapt the jack, it is only necessary to make a plunger of some Insulating material, preferably of bakellte rod, of the approximate dimensions shown in Fig. 1. A hole drilled through the plunger as at a and having a small piece of stiff brass wire Inserted in it, will prevent the removal or loss of the plunger when in the out position.

The activity of mussel heretofore has been confined to getting the young bivalves well started in life, during the brief period when they attach themselves to the gills and fins of fish. Now, however, as a check upon the effectiveness of their work, the fish will be kept in large wooden troughs until the mussels drop off, after which the latter will be retained in the wooden tanks for a year, the better to observe and facilitate their growth. The mussels will then be planted In their natural environment to complete their life cycle. Popular ' PREMIUM MONEY.

Neb., last year Introduced a number of desirable crops into its farming system, according to a report to the United States Department of Agriculture. The seed for each variety, including many kinds of corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, and other grain, seed, and forage crops, tame and native grasses, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, squashes, pumpkins, melons, root crops, field and garden and miscellaneous crops, was divided into four parts and one part given free to a volunteer grower in each of four different sections of the county under condition that the seed be planted on good soil, well cultivated, and two samples of the best f each product furnished for exhibition at the state fair. were The carefully plantings watched and cultivated under the supervision of the county agricultural extension agent When the specimens were collected in the fall, over 450 exhibits representing more than twenty crops were sent by the county to the state fair and later were shown In the county fair. That farming in the county need not be confined to one crop was demonstrated by the excellent quality of the products exhibited which won in individual awards at the state fair over 100 first premiums, almost as many seconds, thirds, and fourths combined, and also by the fact that of the 450 exhibits of products, 387 were classed by the Judges as good, 69 as medium, and none as poor. A number of new crops, such as milo, feterita, orange cane, broom com, Iowa oats, and Japanese millet, seem particularly well adapted to the local conditions and are being grown again this year, according to reports to the Department of Agriculture.

As some of the vehicles were roadsters which permit of only two passengers, it appears that the average automobile on tour carried close to a capacity load. Identifying Him.

Strange' hogs put together are very likely to fight and do much damage. It pays, according to DeKalb County Adviser Tom Roberts, to put panels across the car to separate the different lots, says the Prairie Farmer. A few planks of rough, inexpensive lumber will serve the purpose. It takes only a few minutes time to fix them, and if only one hog is saved It will more than pay the cost.
