The Tuner.

Starting one-half inch from one end
Of the cardboard tube wind on the
No. % D. G. c. wire within one-half
inch Of the other end Of the tube.
Fasten one end of the winding to the
tube nut allow some surplus wire on
the other end for making a connec-
ton. After the winding is in place
give it coat of shellac or varnish
to hold the turns in place. Assemble
the circular-cut pieces Of wood in the
geometrical center Of the square
blocks and then shellac or varnish
them for the appearances. sake.
When thoroughly dry slip the two
end blocks into the wound tube and
by means of a few finishing brads
driven through the cardboard tube,
fasten the end blocks to the wound
tube. The slider is to be mounted
on top Of the coil and should be cap
able CT making contact with any turn
Of the wire on the tube. In order to
remove the insulation from the wire
just under the rod where the slider
moveSback and forth, wrap piece of
sandpaper around a thin piece of
wood and using another piece of wood
as a guide, sandpaper the insulation
from the winding. Drill hole one
eighth inch in diameter through the
slider rod about one-fOurth inch in
from each end so that the rod can
be fastened by screws to the end
blocks After the slider rod is fastened
in place see that the contact finger
on the bottom of the slider can at all
times make good contact with the
winding. Mount binding post on
either end of the coil, attaching one
by means of wire to the slider rod
and the other to the end of the wire
wound on the tube and the tuner IS
complete. A tuner can be purchased
already assembled for about $3.50 to
$4.0O.

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
in Wireless Transmission Of
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to
have met with more or less success in
developing method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago a photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the Copen-
hagen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng
land, and later from England to ship
in mid Atlantic, so that the POSSIBLE
ity of linking the movies with the new
art is not remote.
If perfected the new development of
the already versatile art will make it
possible for one to see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening ut a great distance. For
instance, a ship is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station Of the vessel, in
stead of sending message Of the dis
aster, sends picture that anyone with
a receiving set will be able to see just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more so, and the wireless, even after
Marconi's immortal message had
bridged the Atlantic, was generally be-
lieved to be akin to the idea of per-
petual motion.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
BUILD A RECEIVER
Instructions for Setting Up the
Antenna and for Assembling
the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy
with the simple radio receiving set
1t Is necessary to connect one termi-
nal to an antenna consisting of one or
more wires suspended in the air and
insulated from all grounded material
and the other terminal to ground,
usually the water supply pipe. The
height of an antenna used with a
small receiver should not be less than
80 feet. AS the received energy va
ries directly as the height of an anten-
ma, the higher the antenna the louder
will be the signals or voice produced.
The length of an antenna for short
wave reception should not be less than
80 feet nor should it be longer than
200 feet. The minimum wave length
to which a simple receiver can be
adjusted for electrical resonance will
be above that used by amateurs II
the receiver be connected to an an
tenna 200 feet or more in length.
A simple radiophone receiver cap
able Of picking up radiOphOne sta
lions similar to KDKA at East Pitts
burgh, can be assembled by novice
for from 81 to SIS, depending upon
the builders ability to use his hands.
If the builder will construct most of
his apparatus he will appreciate it
much more and probably will under
stand more about its operation than
If he buys set already made. How
ever, for those who have not the abil-
ity or the time to spend constructing
their own apparatus the following de-
scription will not only give the details
as to the construction of each COM
ponent part Of receiver but also
what standard ready-made parts can
be purchased and used in its stead.
The material can be purchased at
any electrical supply store.
In erecting a simple antenna for
use with the receiver shown in the
diagram, the antenna proper and the
lead-in are Of stranded. hard-drawn
copper wire, strand No. %, costing
about / cent per foot. The two insu-
lators are Of nodded material and can
be purchased for about rs cents each.
The antenna shown is supported be-
tween house and pole. 1t may be
found more convenient to support it
between tree and house, two houses
or even between two chimneys on
the same house. In bringing down the
lead-in care should be taken that it
is kept as far away from grounded
material as possible and when bring
ing through the wall or under the win
dow into the house it should be brought
through some sort of an insulating
tube, such as rubber or bakelite.
In making the ground connection
the same kind of wire can be used as
was purchased for the antenna. You
can clean a section of the waterpipe
thoroughly and solder the ground wire

MAKING THE TUNER

To make a tuner for this receiver,
the following raw material will be re-
quired:
Piece Of cardboard tubing three
inches outside diameter and five
inches long, costing about 10 cents.
100 feet No. % double cotton-cov-
cred magnet wire costing % cents.
Standard slider (see sketch) for "a
by a brass rod, 40 cents.
1 six-inch length of n by n brass
rod (square) 20 cents.
2 binding posts (see sketch) 70
cents.
2 circular blocks Of wood whose
diameter is Just equal to the inside
diameter of the piece Of cardboard
tubing and between 3-S and II inch
thick.
Some shellac or varnish is also re-
Quired.

charcoal and started the trouble
Sometimes it starts from other
causes but it is usually quite dis
structive to the chicks and very diff
ficult to get it stopped, because of
it's being contagious.
Chicks and Fruits
A. c. Hale got thousand chicks
in 1920 and had a good deal of
losses among them. In 1921 he
tried it again with the. same num-
Der; in 1922 he got 1900 and is hav-
ing better success with them this
year by reason of his experience and
having better quarters for them.
D. G. Herbst is raising seven or

planting two acres of potatoes, be-
ing certified seed that he got Of Eric
Sundquist and others of his own
raising, that were not certified, but
which were carefully selected. He
will try for certification on his seed
this year. He has built an unusually
good potato cellar 2Sx32 feet in size
and keeps his potatoes in fine condi-
tion.
Travelling This Summer
Edward Gaffner has a sixs acre
farm in the south of Groveland and
is planting four and half of pota-
toes. He is going to run around
some this summer and see the
country. He thinks he will take a
trip into Oregon. aHe put in the
winter working for himself and
others. He cut up a supply of apple
trees and has summer supply Of
apple wood.
E. N. Bingham lives on the north
east corner of what was once called
the York place and has been culti-
waiting good seed potatoes, sorting
ard dipping the seed. He is plant
ing twenty acres of potatoes fifteen
acres of grain, raising ten of red
clover seed, some alfalfa and ever
bearing strawberries. He has been
grating some of his apple trees to
get better varieties on the old stock.
He says it is of no use for man to
chop down his apple trees just be-
cause they are a poor variety; just
cut off the tops and graft them. If
he does not know how to do the
grating the county agent will teach
him, and by this means get a new
top on an old tree in a short time.
Mr.. Bingham says they always raise
good variety and quite quantity
of ruit and garden stuff. They al
ways keep several milk cows and
live largely out of the garden and
the cellar and the dairy products.
He is fifty years old and says he has
never been sick and thinks it is
largely due to his getting plenty of
sleep, plenty of good nourishing
food and not dissipatihg.
Rural Route No. 1
H. w. Van Sectors bought the
Burley place in Groveland and is
raising chickens and small fruit in
| connection with his work as a car
| penter and contractor. He built a
new chicken coop of brick and ship
ped in 1900 small chicks this spring.
| He says the small chicks sometimes
become canibals usually when one of
the chicks sheds it's feathers and
runs around nearly naked they be-
gin to pick at him and when they get
the blood started they keep picking
at the blood. There is always one
more chick that is curious about the
red speck on the victim and takes
another pick at him and by the time
few hundred have taken a pick
apiece the victim is running around
with part of his flesh gone, yelping
and attracting the attention of
others and they keep crowding
around until they literally eat him
alive.
Fruit and Chick Farm
Mr.. Van Sectors place joins
Eugene Hale's and they are both en-
gagged extensively in the chicken
business. On the occasion of our
last visit Mr.. Hale was having
trouble with one bunch of chicks
that developed diarrhoea. He
thought it was due to improper mix
ing of the feed when the charcoal
was put in by someone not accus-
toned to feeding them; he thinks

TIPS TO THE RADIolsT

A crystal detector cannot be
satisfactorily amplitied.
Insulate ends of aerial wires
with several small insulators.
Wherever possible run aerial
wires at right angles to electric
light wires.
The lead wire should be the
size of the combined number of
wires in the aerial.
Gas piping makes a poor
ground, but the cold water pipe
ground is excellent.
A crystal detector is never as
: efficient as vacuum tube detec-
tor no matter what instruments
are connected to 1t.
Within three to five miles from
q broadcasting station indoor
one wire aerials about 40 feet
long stretched from room to
room, are generally satisfactory
with crystal detectors.

THE SPECU-
IATOR

a FEW days ago, we expressed
Il the opinion that what the
farmers of the United States need,
in the long run, is arrangements
pertaining to their business so that
they can be prosperous. This is
the broad problem before the gov
eminent, and before the people OF
the country, and it cannot be re-
placed successfully by plans for ex-
tending loans and aid in times OF
distress, however helpful and
wholesome these things may be at
some particular period Of depres-
sion in the agricultural industry.
We therefore have no objection
to the new administration proposal
at Washington for the immediate
general relief for farmers which it
