| lows the operator to tune out unwanted
signals completely, and bring In those
desired with a maximum volume.
| Selectivity Is a great principle. II
applies not only to radio but to all
human relationships. We are all diff
ferent and we select different things.
That is fundamental and is not rea-
son for the radio amateur to look down
with contempt upon the beginner who
chooses to buy a single-circuit tuner
nor for the user of the aforesaid tuner
| to look down upon the man who likes
| to specialize on long-distance messages.
1t is unfortunate for the boy who has
shown that he has no special aptitude
in technical pastimes to follow the
lead of the technical radio amateur,
for he will only make nuisance Of
himself and accomplish nothing. 1t Ii
equally unfortunate for folks who
merely Iisten-in with q radio set for
the sake of amusement to complain of
a boy who has earned his money for
the parts, built his radio set, and who,
if he is encouraged. may build upon

Hertz, Marconi, Fleming, DeForest,
Armstrong, Dubilier, Sarnoff, Weagant,
Pupin and Steinmetz, apparatus and
organizations that will advance civil
ization a hundred years inside Of
decade.
Selectivity, If it Is to be intelligently
accomplished, must depend upon a
knowledge of the things from which
the selection is made. The beginner
who selects a radio receiver, no matter
how simple, so long as it will bring in
something, and who listens carefully
and thoughtfully day after day with
view to learning something and max
ing progress, may become either tech
nical radio amateur or merely one of
the majority who use radio with in
creasing efficiency to bring to their
home music, lectures, sermons and
other food for the mind and SOUL In
either case, if he is fair-minded and
generous, he will never lack a sympa-
thetic understanding of the other anna
tours ambitions and problems.

tuners and that single-circuit, using
fewer inductance coils, condensers anf
other parts than a two or three-circuit
tuner, cannot be tuned as sharply as
the one using more parts.
Then perhaps he decides to do some
reading on the subject. If he chances
to buy a copy Of the official organ OF
the technical radio amateurs organiza-
ton, he quickly discovers from the
tenor of the intimate chat which 1t
contains that, If he uses a single-circuit
tuner, he is unfit to associate with the
radio elite; he Is as unwelcome as a
discharge Of static; he has no right to
call himself an amateur, though all
dictionaries seem to grant him that
privilege. Why7
There Is good cause for this. A
single-circuit tuner using electron
tubes (any form of detector that lights
up when in operation) transmits radio
waves at the same time 1t is receiving
them and interferes with the reception
of others in the same neighborhood.
Selectivity means the ability to pick
out the station you want to hear; to
receive one station without being both
cred by others. 1t can be obtained
only at the expense of high-class en-
cheering, and the use of many parts
1t costs money to build a selective set
Whether 1t Is worth it or not depends
upon the point of view.
The person of unselective tempera-
Ment enjoys having lot of things 60
ing on at the same time. He will get
enjoyment and profit out of radio re-
ceiver that will not narrow itself down
to single station. The higher grade
amateur, on the other hand. wants to
be able to bring In the weakest, most
distant station, and he is impatient
over the slightest interference. So it
is up to the beginner to decide just
what he will expect of the receiving
set he wants.
Some Of the circuits and general
makeup of selective receiving sets are
Illustrated here. Figure l shows a
fairly selective tuner for use with q
crystal detector. Greater selectivity Is
obtained by shunting the tuning coil

Hogs Get Little Benefit
From Undigested Grain

Some people argue that hogs will get
the benefit from unmoistened and I'M
digested grain which passes through
animals. 1t would appear that this
logic is no better than to contend that
the threshing machine needs no special
adjusting because, after all, the flock
Of hens will get the grain which passes
out the wind stacker. Everyone knows
that when grain becomes wet and al
lowed to become stale, In case of hogs
following stock, the quality of the
grain for feeding is much reduced.
1t is true that calves several months
old do not masticate their feed thor
oughly, thus grinding oats and corn
will be profitable.

To Prevent Blowouts
of Your Vacuum Tubes

There are times when a vacuum
tube is burned out by the accidental
shorting of the "B" battery across
the filament. In order to safeguard
the tube from this accidental turnout
suitable resistance should be con-
nected in one of the leads from the
"B' battery. This resistance will sue
cessfully prevent, for example, a 100
volt "B" battery from blowing out a
WD-11. Having this resistance in the
''B" battery circuit detracts in no way
from the efficiency Of the set, as the
resistance Is not sufficiently high to
cut down the signal strength.
The value of this resistance can be
readily calculated by several laws of
electricity, but this calculating must
be done every time tube of different
amperage Is used or when more volt
age is added to the "B" battery. In
order to save time and trouble in these
calculations the writer devised a for
mula that is not only extremely sim
pie to use but Is absolutely accurate.
Now, before going any further, sup
pose 1t is known what resistance to
use, II would then be a question of
where to get 1t or how to make the
resistance. One of the cheapest and
most efficient resistances that can be
used for the purpose outlined in this
article is an ordinary 110-volt bulb
such as Is used in the regular lighting
Of the home with 40 volts alternating
current. These bulbs have a resist
ance depending on the wattage they
are rated at For example, 50-watt
bulb has a resistance higher than that
Of a 75-watt bulb. These resistances |
can be figured out by Ohm's law.

Easy to Lead Sheep If
You Know Proper Method

Most sheep lead well II properly
handled, old shepherds say. Even the
stubborn, fine-wool breeds will come
along If they are started right. No
real shepherd tries to drag a sheep
by the neck or wool. From the sleeps
left side he guides 1t, with his left arm
around its neck, tickling the base Of
the tail with his right hand. The
sheep moves-sometimes faster than
Is expected-but 1t moves.
In catching a sheep, too, there is a
right way to hold the strongest ram,
and a wrong one; the wrong one may
let him go and will cause bruise that
takes two months to heal. Wise shep-
herds know that the skin is only light
ly attached to the flesh, and that hold
ing by the wool tears this tender skin
loose from the flesh even farther than
the hands grip; the resulting bruise
not only is painful to the sheep, but
damages the carcass for market until
II heals.
The best Of practical tips that old
shepherds pass among themselves
make up a large part Of the CORE
spondence course in sheep and wool
production recently included in the ex-
tension service of the state agricul-
tural college at Ithaca.
The course Is free, the only re-
quirements being residence in New
York state and chance to work with
sheep while taking 1t.

The formula devised and used will
give, directly, the wattage of the no
volt A. G. bulb to use when a given
vacuum tube and a given "B" battery
is used. This formula thus reduces
all figuring down to one simple calcu-
lation.
The formula is: A equals 1900
times l divided by E, where A equals
wattage of the 110-v. bulb which is to
act as the resistance; 1 equals current
in amperes of the vacuum tube used !;
e equals voltage of the '.B" battery.
Suppose that you have a WD-11
tube, which is rated at Is amps. and
''B" battery of 40 volts, then A equals
1210O times % divided by As, which
equals 81 approximately. Thus a g.
watt 110-volt bulb should be used. AS
a 67-watt bulb cannot be procured the
next lowest wattage bulb that is avail
able should be used. In this case a
e0-watt bulb will be o. K.
If UV-199, rated at .06 amp, and
a 22h-volt "B" battery is used, then
A equals 80 approximately. In this
case a 3O-watt or 25-watt bulb will
be the correct one to use.
If you want to use one resistance
for all purposes a Swat 110-volt bulb
will take care of all vacuum tubes
with amperages of .06 up and all ''B"
battery voltages to $50 volts, but this
method will put a higher resistance
in the plate circuit of your set than is
absolutely necessary.

FARM
LIVE STOCK
Young Cocklebur Plants

Are Poisonous to Stock
prepared by tho United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The cocklebur, variously thought to
have been troublesome only as a weed
and because of Its stlffiy armed burs
has been demonstrated definitely to be
poisonous Of live stock In the early
stages OF Its growth, as was reported
by other observers. The report on
this demonstration Is made by @. D.
Marsh, G. G. Roe, and A. B. Clawson
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, and the results published
In department circular 283, Livestock
Poisoning by Cocklebur. Only the
very young plants, before leaves have
formed, produce poisoning, and the
dose which produces sickness or death
Is about III pounds to a 100-pound
animal. This means that young pigs
up to 80 pounds In weight, which have
been found the most susceptible, are
poisoned by II ounces or less Of the
small cocklebur plants. Cattle or
sheep also may be poisoned If they eat
enough of the plants In proportion to
their weight.
Little can be said SO far about med
lcal treatment for this kind Of poison
Ing. Feeding of whole milk was found
to prevent pigs feeding on the cookie
bur plants from being poisoned. Salt
ed bacon grease, lard, and raw lin
seed oil also gave good results. The
best method. says the circular, Is to
keep pigs off pastures infested with
cockleburs until the plants are large
enough to be harmless; or to kill out
the plants by moving them before
they seed. 1t must be remembered In
this connection that each bur contains
two seeds and that ordinarily only one
Of them will grow the first year after
ripening, consequently it is not pos
sible to kill out a patch Of the plants
the first year.
Copies of the circular may be OBJ
tanned from the Department Of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., as long as
the supply lasts.

Greek Cynics.

The Cynics were a sect of Grecian
philosophers, founded by Antisthenes
about 1896 B. c. The Cynics were noted
for their morose and gloomy views of
life; for their disregard of all sciences,
save that of morality; and for their
contempt for the ordinary convention
alities of life. The word cynic is de-
rived either from Cynosarges, the
place where Artisthenes taught; or
from Navinos (Gr., doglike), In allu-
sion to the snarling or surly manner
affected by the philosophers of this
school. To Diogenes of Sinope, the
most distinguished disciple Of Ants
themes, the Athenians erected a COL
umn of Parian marble surmounted by
a dog.

PortuqaIps National Epic.

The national epic of Portugal Is the
"Lusiad," written by Luis Vaz de
Camoens (152415s0) and published In
1872, says the Detroit News. The great
poem which has been translated into
many languages, was begun by
Camoens while he was in exile in In
dia and was completed shortly after he
was allowed to return to Portugal.
Before 100, IS editions of the "Lusiad"
were printed In Lisbon. Although the
'Iusiad" was, as a piece of literature,
a tremendous success, IT netted its au-
thor little financial gain, for, as his
epitaph, destroyed in 1875, read, He
lived poor and neglected and so died"

One of the first words a beginner
hears, when he starts to shop around,
Is "selectivity."
He may be attracted by the simple
lty and price of cabinet on which are
only two or three knobs to adjust, and
inquire If It will bring In the concerts
and lectures from distant stations. He
Is told that 1t will, but that the cabinet
with FIVE or six knobs on 1t, which
costs so or 100 per cent more, has
greater selechvity.
II he is inquisitive, he asks why the
more complicated tuner Is better than
the simpler one. The dealer explains
that the simpler ones are single-circuit
