Short of Hay.

The hay supply of Negaunee and
Ishpeming, which has been short for
some weeks past, is now practically
exhausted, and as result many horses
and cows are getting short rations.
With the exception of an occasional
few carloads, which are quickly
snapped up at $22 ton, little hay has
been received since the first of the
year, prior to which time the home
crop had been exhausted. The price of
the forage is now 100 per cent greater
than last fall In some instances the
increased cost of feeding stock led to
the slaughtering of cattle. The whole
sale price of -four has advanced dol
lar a barrel.

the binding posts of the lamp holder
with one or two cells of dry battery
in circuit Fig. 7.
The aerial line, No. stranded is
run from binding-post through the
choking or tuning coil. and for best
results should extend up SO TT in the
air. To work a 2e-mile distance The
line should be 100 or 15s IT. above
the ground. A good way is to erect
a wooden pole on a house or barn
and carry the aerial wire to the top
and out to the end of a gaff or arm.
To the end of the aerial wire fasten
a bunch of endless loops made of
about No. IA magnet wire (bare or
insulated), attaching both ends to the
leading or aerial wire. The aerial
wire should not come nearer than
TT. at any point to any metal which
is grounded.
Run a wire from the other binding.
post. A, to the ground and be sure
to make a good connection.
For simple experimental work on
distances Of few hundred feet only,
an ordinary automobile spark cofl can
be used in place of the more esabor
ate coil, Fig l to 4
