Treatment for the first three forms of necrobacillosls consists In the use of antiseptics and astringents, combined with the prompt removal from the flock of affected sheep. Medicinal velop. The disease appears to be associated largely with bad weather, crowded and insanitary feed lots, Infected ranges, failure to separate Infected animals promptly from the flock, and muddy and insanitary lambing sheds. With the control methods outlined and a clear understanding of the close relationship between the various forms of the disease, sheepmen need not continue to sustan heavy losses.

This consists of immersing the animals in a liquid that will kill the parasites. Since the liquids used do not destroy the eggs a second dripping Is necessary and should be done about 24 days after the first.

As low a number as eight turns has been used with success, the determining factor being the degree of volume required as against the degree of selectivity necessary. Eight turns will give very much greater selectivity than 25 turns, and the loss of volume will only be slight. The point Is one which the Individual experimenter can with advantage decide for himself. Except for the aperiodic colls, the components are all standard, and the number and arrangement of the various stages are given just as a suggestion to the experimenter. . As a matter of fact, the writer strongly recommends the reader to commence experiments with only three stages of R. F as the selectivity will be found to be so great, In a coms receiver using good ponents, that two condensers will be found to be quite enough to handle. Tell Your Shoe nt TOE OVER 200 YEARS n low-los- d WILCOX STUDIO receiver Is increased to such a pitch that the interfering signals cannot get through. The latter method Is the more scientific and Is the one adopted. The explanation of the principle Is as follows : If the trap circuit L2C1 were not present the coupling between the first and second tubes would be by means of the inductance LI only 1. e., enThus all interfertirely aperiodic. ences present In the aerial circuit would be passed on to the next stage. By Introducing the trap circuit and tuning It exactly to the frequency of the desired signals, the coil LI no entirely aperiodic. longer remains Since LI is tightly coupled to L2 it comes under the Influence of the trap circuit and Is Inclined to respond more to the frequency of that circuit If, on the other hand, L2C1 Is not accurately tuned to the Incoming frequency LI reverts to Its original aperh odlc condition. Now, a choke coll, to produce an appreciable amount of amplification, must consist of a considerable number of turns, otherwise there will be no build-up- , or Increase in amplitude, of the oscillations flowing through It. That Is to say. If LI consists of relatively few turns It will act as a virtual short circuit to the oscillations transferred to the plate circuit by the grid. Applying Wave Traps.

Use Fine Sandpaper to Keep Phone Jacks Clean Dirty contacts of phone jacks will produce sizzling and frying noises In the headphones or loud speaker. The simplest way to clean these Jack contacts is to let them close on a piece of fine sandpaper and then pull the sandpaper out. Repeat this process with the sandpaper turned over and then both contacts are surely clean. Do not use emery paper, because emery powder is conductive and may partially short circuit the Jack.
