ways been interested in hens from
early boyhood. He clearly showed
his interest and knowledge, by put

a convincing manner that those not
interested in hens were converted to
the idea, that the utility bird as we'll

ashes" continued Commissioner
Washburn.
But in 1916 even under the stimu-
lus of exhorbitant prices, the amount
OF potash produced from teaching
hard wood ashes was only 412 tons
for the whole country. In the event
of a high duty on potash, the Maine
farmer could not go far in home man
ufacture of the necessary potash,
for on many of the Maine farms a
pile of coal ashes is a more frequent
sight than a dripping leach barrel.
1.-THE proposed duty on potash is to
include all German and French pot
ash salts, such es muriate of potash,
sulphate Of potash, and, in fact, all
forms of COMMERCIAL potash. This
measure as introduced in Congress
would mean a duty of so cents per
unit Of K. o. per ton of 1000 pounds
for the first two years after the pas
sage of the act. Such duty on pot

Article 3. An Electron- Tube

The crystal detector may be re-
placed by an electric-tube detector
which then performs the same func-
tions as did the crystal which it re-
placed. Under some conditions the
electron- tube detector may be eX-
pected to give the stronger signals
but its additional cost and care In
operation are against it.
The primary coil a and its accom-
panying short wave condenser are
quite like those of the crystal de-
tector set, as are also the secondary
coil and the variable condenser d
across it's terminals. Briefly stated,
the electron tube contains fila
ment which is heated by an electric
current, a metal grid so named from
it's appearance, and plate which is

by making a fairly heavy continuous
line with black India drawing ink on
a piece of heavy glazed paper. Lines
of different widths and lengths may
be tried out, but one about one inch
long is usually most convenient. A
heavy and continuous pencil line on
paper has also been used. 1t is i'm
portant that a good electrical circuit
be established between the ends of
the line and the terminals of the
condenser.
The plate circuit includes pair Of
high resistance $4,000 ohms) tele-
phone receivers, and high-voltage
dry battery. A small fixed air con-
denser may be used across the tele-
phone receivers, or one similar to the
grid condenser may be employed.
The plate voltage is often twenty
two volts with taps on the battery
which will give lower values if de-
sirable for best operation of the tube.
Where a higher voltage is permissi-
bic. it should be used as the opera
ton will, in general, be better the
higher the plate voltage.
