Suggestions for Judging Butter ut
County and Community FAIRS.


The butter exhibited at many of
The fairs is really a work Of art ard
should be included in such colloc-
tons rather than in the butter ex-
hibit. The pineapple$haped entries
and that nodded iD/ the form OF
ducks, ETC., really deserve 10 be
classed in tho decorative art depart
ment, for too often the quality Of
the butter IS sacrificed to the design.
Butter made for eating purposes docs
not gain in quality by the additional
handling necessary for forming it
into fantastic shapes. The package
should be neat, rlcan and attractive,
and the butter we'll protected by be-
| ing securely wrapped in a good grade
Of parchment paper. The shape
should be such ~ to allow 1t 70 DC
wei! wrapped. The quality 0f the
| paper is very Important because .
poor grade is sure to be torn and
worn off by much handling. Good
butter should be especially we'll
packed. Butter Of such quality as
| be packed any way--~it does not mat /
ter if it is exposed to dust and flies.
Tho main point to take into ac-
Souhl III JoNSliiS buIl'i "l' vi
and body. These are by far the mos,
| important. The flavor should be rich.
sweet, clean, fine, mildly acid ana
the aroma should be pleasing. It
should not taste cowy, cheesy, milky.
curdy, rancid, unclcan nor highly
acid.
Body and texture should be good.
If the grain is good the butter will
break like a piece Of me.al-Eot
smooth. 1t should not contain 100
much moisture, nor should the brine
be milky, and it should be free from
curd. 1t should be waXy and not
greasy in appearance.
Color and salt should also be ta-
ken into account. The color most de-
sirable is that Of June butter. 1t
may vary from Il very light to me-
dium straw color, or that produced
by natural grass. 1t should not be
streaked or mottled. The salt should
be we'll dissolved and just enough
bring out the highest flavor.
The following score card will be
helpful in arriving at definite scores:

when RI increases. II must decresse.
This means that when a constant "B"
battery potential Is applied to the
plate circuit of a vacuum tube. con.
tanning external resistance, AN in
crease In plate current causes a de-
crease in the potential existing be.
tween the plate and the 6lament.
The static" characteristic curve
was drawn on the assumption that
the difference in potential between
the plate and the filament remained
constant, obviously then, when the ex.
ternal plate circuit has other than
zero impedance, the static character
istic curve no longer holds true.
The characteristic curve of a tube
having other than zero impedance in
the external plate circuit is the "dy.
manic" characteristic. The greater
the variations in plate current, the
greater the variation in the voltage
existing between the plate and the
filament. II the value of r, the ex.
ternal plate impedauce, is increased,
the greater will be the variation in
the, plate to filamelt voltage for the
same variation in Plate current.
In Fig. XVI (2) is represented the
dynamic characteristic Of tube with
a certain definite value of r in the
plate circuit. Curve (3) represents
the dynamic characteristic Of the
same tube with a larger value Of r
in the plate circuit. Finally the ex-
IRENE condition is reached, in which
R is made infinitely high and the
dynamic characteristic becomes par
allel to the grid voltage axis as in

grid potential wouid produce no var

ORCHARDS PARDON

The citizens of Caldwell are head
ing statewide protest against the
granting pardon to Harry Orchard,
self confessed murderer of ex-
Governor Frank Steunenberg at
Caldwell in 1906.
Orchard confessed to killing
twenty or thirty other men, claim
ing he was acting under instructions
Of w. d. (Big Bib Haywood, the
secretary-treasurer of the Western
Federation of Miners.
1t is understood that when a
criminal becomes a states witness
in prosecuting criminals connected
with himself that he becomes i'm
mune from or is given some consid-
Grafton in mitigation of his part in
It.. Orchard made q complete con-
fession and told the detectives of
hundreds Of things that had been
done against the public or individ-
ual interests by them, and they
verified most of them from the clues
he gave them.
The fact that he had committed
so many crimes and received pay
ment in money, made his case diff
ferent from one who had merely
made one transgression and re-
pented of 1t. The question now is,
whether he should receive pardon
now as part recognition of his SER
vices in making it possible to break \
up the ring that had terrorized the
state for ten years and, still baffled
tho Off3coro until ho rnnfocuod uic
confessions broke up the gang and
their operations, altho the ring
leaders were acquitted at the trial.
Terrorizing the jury and their fam
lilies. was part of the propaganda
Of the defense and is thought to
have turned the scale in arriving at
the verdict of acquittal.
The board of pardons will hear
protests on Monday, Nov. 81, and
anyone wishing to be heard can ap-
pear before the board or write them
and it will be read.

tor Of X, between the supply Of alter.
mating. difference Of potential at TT
was just X times what it actually Is.
All these considerations have been
based on the assumption that the
total impedance resistance to the
flow of an alternating currently Of
the entire plate circuit existed inter-
nally in the tube between the filament
and the plate, and that the external
electrical circuit from the plate to
the filament had zero impedance. OF
course, this condition never exists in
practice. The external plate cir
cult always has impedance in it in
the form of telephone receivers, re-
sistance choke coils, or transformer
primaries, depending upon the means
that is employed to couple the sue
cessive tubes together.
1t is only where the external plate
circuit Of a vacuum tube has zero
impedance that the plate voltage is
equal to that Of the 'B" battery. AS
Soon as an impedance is introduced
into the external plate circuit, part
of the total potential Of the "B" ex-
lists as a drop across the external i'm
pedance, so that only portion of the
total "B" battery is available at the
plate.
Fig. XVI represents the char
acteristfc curve Of the tube as we
have been discussing it, with no i'm
pedance in the external plate circuit.
This curve is called the "static" char
acteristic curve, to differentiate from
the others. Suppose that we intro
duce into the external plate circuit
an impedance in the form Of resist
ance as shown by r in Fig. XVII.
