Drawn Wire Tungsten Lamps

Drawn Wire Tungsten Lamps
The production Of ductile wire wa
undoubtedly the most important
event in electricity during the
year. This remarkable achieve
ment can only be appreciated
when it is remembered that the
rare metal tungsten has been
known to the arts and. scientists
for hundred years ormore and
during that time has defed all
attempts of the best investigators
and scientists to produce il in
ductile form until last year.
Tungsten was known as an ex-
ceedingly brittle metal and
nearly all the scientists agreed
that there was not even remote
chance to make it into drawn
wire. During the early expert
ments with the metal it was
produced in such purity that i'm
purities could be detected by the
most searching methods known
to chemical analysis and yet II
was neither ductile nor even
pliable. 1t seemed beyond the
hope Of scientists to produce
ductile tungsten and II was
generally concluded that brittle
ness was an inherent character
istic Of the metal.
tits therefore a great tribute
TO the ingenuity and skill Of
American scientists that a
process has at last been discover
ed by the research laboratory Of
the General Electric Company
which changes this Characteristic
Of the metal making il possible
to draw this new form Of lungs
ten into wire. The tensil strength
Of this drawn wire tungsten is
superior to that even Of piano
steel.
The production Of this drawn
wire tungsten permits 4 change
in the construction Of incandes-
cent lamps by which a contin-
uous filament is employed instead
Of splicing four or five short
section together as heretofore.
The filament is wound upon n
spider. which reduces the length
Of the Illuminating part Of the
lamp TO about fve-seventh Of
that Of the previous tungsten
lamps.
Those early filaments were
made BY mixing the tungsten
metal powder with some binding
material so that Il could be FORM
cd into n thin thread much the
same as a spider spins lis web.
This web" was then treated by
several processes TO remove the
binder and fuse the fine metal
particles into the form Of wire.
OF course the lamp filaments
made in this way were more or
less fragile.
IL was true enough that the
first tungsten lamps would save
two.thirds Of the cost OF electric
lighting, but the lamps had to
be handled with care because Of
their fragility. The new types Of
drawn wire tungsten lamps
however are several times as
strong.

Again, one can use just what
kind of material one pleases and
trim to suit ones fancy.
An objection to the ready-to-
wear lingerie is the quantity of
trimming used, as a rule, and
often as a sacrifice to the quality
of the goods. 7ts
One Of the most economical
lines in lingerie is the French
hand embroidered. The garments
cost no more than the domestic,
while there Is no comparison be-
tween the wear Of the two. Not
every woman knows that night
dresses cut full and ample, the
neck and sleeves finished with
hand buttonhole scallops, the
trimming, hand embroidery, can
be bought for sl.50. and other
garments to match at the same
proportionate prices.
Among the materials used this
year for lingerie the very daint-
|iest is a thin crepe. This must
not be confounded with the
coarse cotton crepes used for
negligees and blouses, but a per-
fectly sheer fabric as soft as
finest lawn. The incest trimming
is a little hand embroidery done
directly on the crepe. As the
material does not require iron
ing. lace or machine embroidery
would not make an appropriate
trimming.

bred in the cow to have the milk
giving capacity.
So the main point is to feed the
COW to her capacity and we must
therefore consider each animal in
dividually. In the first place, it is
essential that COWS be given some
green feed, or something of like
nature. In localities where pasturing
is practiced, COWS reach their maxi
mum production in May or June.
This suggests that in order to obtain
the highest production throughout
the year the dairymen should initiate
the conditions of early summer as
much as possible. This is necessary
for two reasons. First, because her
digestive apparatus is of such nature
as will handle green feeds to better
advantage. A COW that is fed COZ

only one pound less of milk per day
than at first, but was so weak she
could hardly get up without assist
ance. During the time she lost 115
pounds in her body weight and pro-
duced 90 pounds of milk solids from
her own body" This illustrates for
chilly the fact that a highly bred COW
produces milk because OF the inherit
ed tendency, or capacity, and not as
a result of the feed she consumes. AS
a consequence of this milk produc-
tion, however, the COW has a keen
appetite, and she eats in order to
replace the broken down material.
The milk production is the cause and
not the result of the feeding. From
this we can draw partial conclusion
that we cannot influence COWS to give
milk by feeding them unless it is
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-12-15

The dairyman's feeding problems
have been discussed so often and SO
thoroughly at dairy conventions and
through the press, that it seems that
what might be brought up at this
meeting is simply going over old
ground. Nevertheless new ideas,
relative to correct methods Of feed
ing, are continually being brought to
our notice through Investigations and
indeed it is often wise to bring up
old and tried rules that have been in
successful operation for the past dec
ade.
1t is as rule somewhat of a problem
for dairyman to choose ration for
his herd that will bring in the largest
net returns for each individual animal.
This is true because of the fact that
different animals use the feeds to
different ends.
While the speaker feels that success
in dairy production depends very
largely on the breeding of the COW,
vet it must be admitted that even
though COW has the proper breeding
and conformation she may or may not
prove profitable at the milk pail.
We must recognize this fact at the
outset; viz, that correct feeding
means working the COW to capacity
at the least expense. All the COWS in
any herd must certainly vary as to the
capacity they possess for producing
milk. That there is something more
than feed to stimulate milk produc-
tion is very clearly shown by an ex-
pertinent conducted by Eckles of
Missouri: ga mature Jersey COW was
fed liberal ration while dry; she
calved in more than moderate flesh.
Her ration was adjusted to supply
only nutrients sufficient to support
the body, leaving nothing for produc-
ing milk. She was compelled either
to cease producing milk or to make
1t from the reserve on her body. This
was continued for 80 days. At the
end of this time she was producing
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-12-15

rect ration so far as nutrients are
concerned, but in a dry form will
gain perceptibly when changed to
Iation consisting partly of succulent
feeds, even though the latter contains
no more total nutrients than the
| former. Second, because as a rule it
| is the cheapest form of feeding certain
crops. AS an example, we have
| green corn as compared with the dry
fodder. The former is all consumed
and largely digestible, while the latter
is unpalatable and much of it is
wasted.
| The furnishing OF this succulence by
pasturing is perhaps the easiest
me ethod, but it is doubtful if it is
the most economical In locality
where Lind is comparatively cheap
and mixed grass pasture can be grown
nearly the year round, it may be
| profitable to use pasture crop
Again ii the land was of such a nature
as to make it impossible to cultivate.
pasturing may be practiced. But on
| the whole, this system is too expensive
where land is high in price such as
it is in most Sc sections of the Pacific
Northwest.
By the use of the soiling crop, that
is, those that may be harvested green
and fed directly to the herd in feed
lot, we are able to get one of the most
economical methods of furnishing the
succulent part of ration. The grow.
ing and feeding of root crops may be
profitable in some localities and the
storing and feeding of silage of some
kind may prove best elsewhere.
1t is not the purpose of this paper
to outline methods to be followed in
raising these various soiIing crops
nor to insist that one crop is superior
to another. Since the value of these
crops, when fed, come mostly from
the succulence they afford rather than
the amount of nutrients they contain.
the whole matter of such feeds can
be summed up in a few words. Plant
the crop that will give the largest.

Clintwood, Va, Sept. o.
Captain Jasper S. Colley died
Sunday at his home near this
place, of pneumonia fever. Cap
tain Colley was one of Dicken-
son county's most prominent
citizens; h. was q captain in
the Confederate army, and in
1879 he was elected a member
of the House of Delegates from
Wise and Buchanan counties,
which counties at that time
composed one legislative dis
trict. and during the session of
of 1878 he secured the pas.
sage of an act forming the
county Of Dickinson out o f
parts Of Buchanan, Wise AMI
Russell. He was again n can
didate for the House of Dele
gates last year in the district
composed of Wise Dickinson,
but was defeated by n few votes
by Hon. John w. Chalkley.
Captain Colley was one of the
most active men of his age in
the country.
