SEMl-ANMUAL SWINE SURVEY
Questionnaires Will Be Distributed on
Agricultural Routes by Rural
Mail Carriers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The second semi-annual pig survey,
cards for which are now being dis
tributed to rural mail carriers, will
cover the entire country, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
announced. The survey last spring
covered only II states, but as an indi-
cation of present and probable pig pro-
duction the survey was great sue
cess and readily demonstrated the
feasibility of extending the scope of
the inquiry, says the department.
Ten cards or questionnaires will be
distributed by each rural mail carrier
on agricultural routes. Approximately
$4,000 cards will be sent out. They
have been prepared in simple form
and can be filled out in a few minutes.
Where possible, the mail carriers will
fill in the answers as made by the hog
raisers. The cards will show the num-
Der of sows narrowed during the last
six months Of 1921, the number far
rOwed during the first six months Of
1922, the number of soWs narrowed, or
due to farrow during the last six
months of 1922, and the number bred
or intended to be bred to farrow dur
ing the first six months of 1928
The Importance of this survey to the
farmers in enabling them to adjust
their production to the probable needs
of the market is stressed by the de-
partment. People who deal in crops
and live stock, such as packers and
commission men, have very extensive
for informing themselves
of the production of crops and live
stock, the department points out. |
Farmers have no such organization |
of their own, and obviously informa- |
ton of this character is just as impor-
tant to the farmers as to the people |
who deal in farm products. One of
the functions of government is to |
gather and publish these necessary
statistics in order that the producers
may have some knowledge of what is
going on in the way Of production"

reception on short waves by the super

On the other side of the Atlantic the
British amateurs, restricted in their
hobby by ultra-conservative government
regulations, have turned their atten-
ton solely to radio-frequency ampli-
fication. This has given excellent re
suits on all long and medium wave
lengths, but its, success on shorter wave
lengths has depended solely upon che
expert handling Of the operator, who
has been compelled to use tuned
coupling circuits between each Of the
radio-frequency vacuum tubes.
1t is too early yet to tell which OF
the two systems will ultimately tri-
umph, but there Is no doubt that the
laurels at the present moment rest
upon the American amateurs through
the latest achievement of their leader,
Armstrong, in the production Of the
super-regenerative system.

some other methods but it is stable
and does not distort the input as
much as do some other methods. used
which give greater amplification per
tube.
Resistance-coupled simplifying may
be used to amplify either radio OF
audfo frequency.
A method of Transforming the
change In plate current of vacuum
tube to differences in potential Is by
means Of q choke coil. A choke coll
consists Of a number Of turns Of wire
wound up in a multIlayer coil and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil Of this kind offers a high i'm
pedance to the flow Of alternating cur
rent, but has a relatively low direct
current resistance.
The choke coli on account Of hav-
ing q low ohmic resistance, will have
a smaller method Of coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplifers
and the batteries can be of smaller
capacity.
The choke coil not only has induct-
ance but a certain amount Of distr1b-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity Of
the plate with respect to the filament,
together with the inductance Of the
coil, give to the plate circuit a GER
tain definite period. That is, the plate
circuit is an oscillating circuit whose
resonant frequency Is determined by
the total capacity and inductance in
the circuit.
II the choke coil be made variable,
1t will not only serve to transform the
plate current variation with maximum
plate potential variations, but 1t will
also serve to tune out unwanted fire.
quencies. When the plate circuit Of
the amplifler is tuned, the resonant
frequency is amplif1ed K times, but all
other frequencies are amplified to
less degree.
Another and by far the most
widely used method Of coupling sue
cessive tubes in cascade amplifier is
by means of transformers. The trans
former method of coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered a develop
ment and refinement Of the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
by means Of properly designed trans
formers will give a greater amplifi-
cation per tube than any of the other
methods.

The Minister and
the "Vamp"
By Mary Graham Bonner
10, 1872, western Newspaper U

w, io-z, western newspaper tnon.l
NOV the minister was young and
= enthusiastic and eager. He loved
the people. They were a bit too talk
alive at times. They did enjoy telling
him just how he should preach and
act and think and do. But it was all
so well meaning that 1t failed to annoy
him. Sometimes when he might have
been annoyed he became amused in
stead. 1t was so much the better way.
The minister was extremely attrac-
tive. Every woman in the parish knew
that. Every man admired the minis
ter, too. His was a most engaging
personality.
But things became trif1e awkward
when it appeared as though the min
lister could not talk to any one of the
opposite sex for more than ten minutes
without arousing observations.
And how weary he did get of being
told he mustn't take the last piece Of
cake in a dish. 1t was so tiresome a
bit OF so-called witticism.
He realized that it might be difficult
for minister to be permitted to
choose a wife for himself. He some
how had a new admiration for minis
tiers who appeared to have done their
own matrimonial choosing.
He feared that one might even take
almost anyone to dodge the constant
comments and chatter on matrimony
which an unmarried man seemed to
encounter.
And then the minister fell in Lowell
Oh, madly and rapturously in love.
And with a girl from out-of-town whom
people said was not the type for a
minister's wife at all, at all. And the
minister had said he hadn't looked for
a type, he had picked out the one he
had cared for.
He even heard people whispering
the word ''vamp." "a vamp who had

The enormous popularity Of
radio has started out new crop

glittering prospects. A general
warning is being broadcast for
fans to be on the lookout for
these smooth gentlemen.

employing two variometers and
a variocoupler be careful not to
get the instruments too close
together. If they are, the set
will howl. A set Of this type
should be mounted in a box
not less than sixteen inches
long.
