FURTHER ADVICE ON
PUTTING UP ANTENNA
Two Types Of Counterpoise De-
scribed-Energy Losses Min
imized by Proper Location.

II has been stated in previous ar
ticles that an antenna system consists
Of a so-called aerial and ground. In
certain forms the ground is also known
as counterpoise.
Sometimes counterp0ise Is made
up In form similar to the aerial and
Is suspended beneath 1t. To certain
extent thic is true Of the counterpoise
used on aTplanes, which is made up
Of all the metal parts of the plane.
When the earth is dry or rocky, and
consequently poor conductor of elec-
tricity, counterpoise consisting of a
network yf wires Is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part Of the antenna. II II is desired to
install this form of counterpoise the
metallic Surface of the counterpoise
must be at least equal to that of an
tenna and for efficient operation,
should even be greater than the an
tenna surface. Also the resistance Of
the counterpoise should be made as
low as possible in order to eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
place in 1t. A counterpoise Of the form
described Is illustrated In Figure IL.
When the ground underneath an
antenna is good conductor, that is to
say, is soft and moist, the earth itself

PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Various Implements Should Be Kept
In Repair and Breakase Reduced
to Minimum.

Nowadays when a machine breaks
II Is not only the cost of replacement
to be considered, but the machine may
be out Of service for several days or
weeks because the dealers stock of
parts is low and completely out on
some items.
And II isn't the dealers fault, either,
In most cases. He has orders In for
short stock parts, but ordering Is one
thing and getting orders filed is some
thing else, as all machinery dealers
and their customers know to their sor-
row.
All farm machinery should be kept
painted. Reduce breakage to the mini-
mum. Parts will break often enough
when machines are handled with the
utmost care, but just now, when re-
placements are so expensive and SO
difficult to get promptly regardless Of
price, the least the farmer can do Is to
guard against this unnecessary weak
ening Of essential equipment, by allow
ing rust to set In on 1t.

concrete as well because Of the dan
ger of burning the wooden roofing and
the effects Of severe weather on the
boards.
A foundation is laid by excavating to
a depth of two or three feet and set
ting footing, IS inches wide and or
10 inches thick. Upon this the wall
rests, starting with concrete bricks
laid upon firm mixture Of cement
mortar. II must be remembered that
only as much mortar as will be used
In an hours time should be mixed at
one time as 1t will "set' In less than
that time.
Racks and books are provided for
hanging the meat in the upper part Of
the structure so that the smoke will
have free circulation during the curing
process.
Experts in meat smoking hold that
fresh green hickory chips are the best
fuel for flavor and the market value of
meat thus prepared will exceed that
where ordinary methods are employed.
An added feature Of this smOkehouse
is the fact that II Is absolutely safe

rats and can be locked to keep out two

ner that reception from one particula
direction Is impossible.
Keep the antenna and lead-in a
far as possible from electric light an
power lines. II power line run
nearby, run the antenna at righ
angles to 1t, and so obtain the mini
mum amount Of interference.

PASTURES OF TILLABLE LAND
Erroneous Impression That Rough,
Thin Soil Is Good for Grass
to Feed Animals.

More pasture anf better pasture Is
the paramount need on many farms
where there are animals. There has
been an erroneous impression that
farmers must have rough. very thin or
otherwise cheap land for pasture.
The facts are some Of the most ex.
pensive and most fertile land on some
farms would pay better In pasture
than In the ordinary field -rops now

ducing feed and harvesting and feed
Ing Is too expensive. Why not let
the animals do their own harvesting
and feed themselves, using crops that

The old-time custom of home curing
meats. revived during the war has
been given added impetus in the last
few years and many farmers are ac-
lively engaged In preparing their sur
plus supply for table and sale.
There is no reason Why every farm
should not have modern sniokehouse
and the resulting sntply Of well-cured
meats on hand through the winter sea-
son. Prices for old country hams make
II worth any farmers time to lay in as
big supply as possible.
Solid Concrete 10 Best.
Many types of smokehouses are in
use, ranging from the old type of a
barrel with one head knocked out to
tho most modern and pretentious af-
locked doors. The latter type Is grow.

Of its many natural advantages. A con-

before the sale the local papers run
articles on the value of curebred sires.
In that state 1t has been found that
better results are obtained from the
county sale than from sales covering a
larger section or from state sales.
Farmers are more apt to attend til,
sales where they can haul the pur
chases home or ship only short dis
tance. At a number Of these sales the
number of sires sold has varied from
20 to 60. One of the big advantages
is that good blood produced in the
county remains there and improves
the general run Of live stock instead
Of being scattered far and wide.
