MARCONI REALLY
FATHER OF RADIO
Story Of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development of Air
Communication.

While experiments along the line
OF radio really started as far back as
1927 and hundreds of scientists were
interested in solving the problems in
volved for many years, it was not un-
til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo
Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery of air communication got
Its first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his
tory Of radio communication.
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi. G. c.
v. o., L. L. D., Disc. NJ. /. f. E., was
born In Bologna, Italy, April 25. 1874.
His mother was Irish, while his father
was Of family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After an edu-
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem of wireless telegraphy, start
Ing his research In 1895 He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for practical
system Of wireless telegraphy by the
use Of electric waves. His early ex-
periments In England were made at
Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. ii. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials Of the postofiice. Some
further experiments were made in
May, 1897, In the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
dshed between Lavernock and Brean
Down, distance Of nine miles.
On the invitation Of the Italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where land station was
erected, which was kept In constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from distance OF
II miles. For this success the Ital-
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor Of knighthood. After
a return to England further expert
ments were conducted and on July 20,
1897, the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt

The wild cucumber vine and the
common milkweed, as shown by in
vestigations by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, are the prin-
cipal wild host plants Of the cucum-
Der mosaic, or ''white pickle" disease.
This disease is widespread In the
United States, but rs most general and
serious in the Middle West, where the
major portion of the pickle growing
industry is located. Cucumber mosaic
Is caused by virus, and the most
common means Of spreading 1t is by
two kinds Of insects, the striped
cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, and
by pickers. The disease is not carried
through the winter in the soil or by
insects. and trials have shown that

prepared by tho United States Department

The increasing use of milking ma
chimes in the United States makes the
method of cleaning and caring for them
an important one. In studies of dairy
sanitation the number of bacteria
which survive various methods of
cleaning and care enables investigators
to determine the relative merits Of
various systems Of cleaning machines.
In addition to laboratory observations,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has tried out methods of clean
ing and sterillzing mechanical mixers
on number Of farms.
On 13 farms where only ordinary
care was given, the highest bacteria
count was more than 100000 per
cubic centimeter, and the average was
more than quarter Of million. After
the machines had been kept clean and
sterillzed by the hot-water method, the
average Of 261 samples showed less
than 10000 bacteria per cubic cent?

ing may be badly contaminated; but
the milking machine, being an addi-
tional piece of apparatus between the
COW and the consumer, should receive
special care.
Hot-Water Method Best.
Sterilizing milking machines with a
chlorine solution has been done on a
good many farms, but the tests made
by the department have shown that
much better results come from the use
of the hot-water method. Just after
milking, the machines are rinsed with
cold or lukewarm water drawn through
by vacuum, the stream being broken
occasionally by pulling the teat cups
out of the water and immersing them
again. This is done 10 or II times. The
process is then repeated with hot soda
solution, and the cups and tubing are
washed with brush at the same time.
Then the parts are rinsed by drawing
clean water through by vacuum.
After this cleaning, the long milk
tubes with the teat cups attached are

water is then heated to 100 degrees or
ITO degrees F. This may be done by
setting the tank on stove; by setting
II up and building fire under It; or
by introducing steam from boiler.
The parts are left in this water until
the next milking.

BIG DANGER IN USING LIME
When All AcldIty Of Soil Has Been
Used Up There is Trouble In
Raising Some Crops.

A test was made covering Is years
of growing truck crops with manure,
at the rate of ten loads to the acre.
and with other fertilizers. The fer
tilized plots yielded good crops for a
few years and then failed. Doctor
Hartwell of the Rhode Island expert
ment station does not advise any fer
tilizers in continuous crop rotation
without green manuring. He said that
Rhode Island was responsible for the
use Of lime, and now 1t ought to be
responsible for saying that there is
danger in using too much lime. When
you have used up all the acidity In the
soil you are In for trouble, especially
with such crops as spinach. II you do
not get any pink on blue litmus paper,
the soil does not need more lime.

CORN FOR SILAGE PURPOSES
Early Planting of WelI4Matured Seed
Of Large Variety Is often
Most Profitable.

In the north an early planting OF
well-matured seed of a large variety
of corn is often most profitable when
the crop is intended for silage pur-
poses. OF course, If grain crop Is
desired, the corn variety must be
chosen that has the best chance Of
maturing a good yield Of grain. But
If silage is the object, the same de-
gree Of maturity Is not necessary.
The production may be increased sim
ply by choosing somewhat longer
season crop one that will reach the
proper ensiling stage at about the
same time the Northern grain would
have to be maturing. Here Is one
more place where the Northern silo
owner can get the jump on some Of
his less fortunate neighbors.

including the Nobel prize, has not
engaged in radio telephone expert
ments.
Radio enthusiasts have increased
tenfold within the last few months, 1t
appears from survey conducted by
the Associated Press and covering the
central west, Kentucky and Texas. At
virtually all points from which re-
ports have been received, there are
thousands of radio sets, particularly
for purposes Of telephony, where at
most there were hundreds before.
While the sets are used chiefly for
pleasure and experience, they are be-
ing put to practical uses In many
cases. Numerous farmers are receiv-
ing market and weather reports, and
police are receiving bulletins. Ser
mons, concerts, health talks and style
talks are transmitted. Universities
and professional operators are coop
Grating.
Approximate figures are reported
from various states and centers in
dicating the present number Of radio
sets. According to A. L. Benson Of
st. Louis, division manager Of the
American Radio Relay league, about
10000 radiophones are used In four
states as follows: Iowa, $4,000; Mis-
souri,. $4,000; Nebraska, 22,000 ;
Kansas, 10000. In st. Louis alone
there are some 2,2OO. The radiophones
chiefly carry concert music, but In
many localities farmers have installed
them to receive market reports.

self to commercial purposes. In De
cember, 1898, Marconi installed ap-
paratus to provide communication be-
tween the South Foreland lighthouse
and lighthouse on the south coast.
In 1899 Marconi read paper on
"Wireless Telegraphy" before the In
stitution of Electrical Engineers In
London.
Early in 1901 telegraphic commu-
nication was established between two
points more than 250 miles distant
and at the end Of that year Marconi
transmitted signals from Poldhu, IN
Cornwall to st. Johns, Newfoundland.
In 1902 he received on board the
steamship Philadelphia in the pres
ence of the officers, good messages
on the tape when at a distance Of
over 1900 miles from the transmit
ting station and signals at over 1000
miles. In December, 1902, the station
established at Cape Breton, Nova
Scotia. under a contract with the Ca
madam government for transatlantic
wireless telegraphy, was put into
communication with the Cornwall sta
tion at Poldhu and inaugural messages
were transmitted to the King Of
England, the King of Italy and to
the London Times. In October, 1908,
the steamship Lucania published a
daily wireless bulletin from messages
received from the Marconi stations.

west coast Of Ireland was opened

What About the Truth?

Augusta, Me-, January 49,. 1872.
Mr.. Editor:
L enclose clipping from your
paper published Monday. January 90,
headed, Fear Big Less Potatoes in
Maine" If true, it is too important
u document to be published in any
paper as widely real as the kenne-
bee Journal, unless the writer signs
his name to it and you print the
signature at the bottom of the arti-
Gle. When vastly important state
ments of the countiys food supply
appear in daily papers. they should
be signed. that the people may know
who it is, that is so sure of his
ground, in so serious a matter.
The price of potatoes is very
largely controlled by the public de-
mand for them. Any lurid litera-
ture affects the demand one way or
another. Such an article as this one
referred to,'read by certain class Of
flooding the market forcing prices
down and sadding big loss on the
producers.
A certain class of consumers after
reading that same article will ease
up on his purchase. That weakens
the grocer's courage ard he shortens
up on buying.
After all is said and done" the
article has, done Doth the consumer
and the producer an injury. In the
producers case it might be a very
serious one.
The only way to handle the big
crops of Aroostook county success
