join the army when they don't
like things at home. The army
isn't going to accept mere youths
as recruits after July /.
After that date, no one under

cant for the army. At present,
any healthy youngster over is
who can pass the army tests can
become soldier.
When the army bill was in con-
grcss, Representatives Jones and
Connally of Texas, aided by the
veterans bloc" put thru an
amendment raising the minimum
ago limit for recruits.
Secretary Weeks and army Of
ficers protested Powerfully. saying

best arrangement. 1 never did decide
which one to build but instead of sim
plifying my circuit, 1 complicated it.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
tone quality, selectivity and relief from
static are attained to a greater de-
gree with three-tuned circuits than
with the simpler arrangements, and
the addition Of means for coupling the
grid and plate circuits provides sta
bility and ease in tuning which are
sometimes difficult to obtain in the
conventional three-circuit tuner. OF
course considerably more time Is con-
sumed In tuning the three-circuit set
when first put in operation, but this
has never been a serious matter IL re-
suits could later be duplicated using
the same adjustment for the same sta
tons. This has been found possible
with the set stabilized by direct feed
back coupling, while in the ordinary
th%ree-circuit tuner adjustments for
good phone reception vary daily.
Early Methods.
The first means of coupling which
was devised consisted in splitting up
the plate yariometer stator winding
into two halves. One half was left
In the plate circuit and the other con-
nected in series with the secondary Of
the v~ariocoupler and grid variometer.
The operation Of the set connected in
this way proved that the coupling pro-
vided was a decided stabilizer-or, in
other words, that the idea was good.
Stations were tuned in with practically
the same adjustments day after day;
the set remained in operation without
further adjustment for as long as de-
sired, and the tone quality was equal
to the best results obtained with the
usual connections.
Two of the broadcasting stations
regularly heard, however, and many
familiar amateur CIV. stations could
not be heard. These stations were all
brought back by changing to the ar
rangement shown in the accompanying
diagram, where a separate coupler Is
used for grid-plate coupling and the
plate variometer left intact. The
coupler used was made up on the COM
mon ~variocoupler forms with 30 turns
of No. % cotton-covered wire on both
stator and rotor. The stator Is in the
grid circuit and the rotor in series with
the plate variometer. I consider the
resulting set the last word in regen-
erative receivers, barring the refine
ments in design and manufacture that
could well be introduced, and l believe
others will find 1t so until they are able
to bid Old Man Static farewell with a
loop and r. F. ampiifiers.
The coupler used in this set is 3s
inches in diameter and the stator Is
four inches long, but 1t is obvious that
slight changes in dimensions and wind
ing will not affect the results obtained,
as both circuits concerned are sep
arately tuned.

Some Reasons Why Hogs
Are Popular Farm Animals

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
What is the basis of the hogs popu-
larity, which, in spite of his relatively
small size, enables him to stand third
In total value among all our domestic
animals in the United States? In the
first place, of course, he produces
%toothsome meats which in some form
or other combine well with most of
our common vegetables, but, according
to the Department Of Agriculture,
there are other reasons why the hog
has become a favorite on more than
three-fourths of our farms.
The hog converts much of u corn
crop, 30 to 40 per cent annually, into
a concentrated food, and in this work
of concentration he is no waster. He Is
IN efficient user of feed. 1t takes about
six pounds of hay to produce a pound
of lamb Give weight, ten pounds of
hay and ten pounds of corn to make a
pound of beef, and Sc pounds of corn
for a pound of pork. Hogs are fire.
quently used to hog down. or har-
vest crops and in this way they save
the labor of harvesting.
In this country pork and lard enter
prominently into our food supply. The
average annual consumption per cap
ita for the last five years was 67.3
pounds of pork and 1875 pounds Of
lard as compared with 600 pounds
of beef.

Selection of Breed for
Good Flock of Sheep

In establishing a flock of sheep fo2
the farm there are many advantages
in the farmers Of a community select
ing the same breed. One important
advantage is in changing rams so as
to avoid in%breeding. A farmer with
only a few ewes is likely to inbred
or use a poor sire, rather than intro
duce new blood through the purchase
of a good ram. Sheep are divided into
three general classes: l, the fine
woods, such as the American Merino,
Delaine, and Rambouillet; ., medium
woods, such as the Oxford, Hampshire,
Shropshire, Southdown, ETC.; 3, the
coarse woods, such as the Cotswolds,
Leicester and Lincolns.
The first class of fine woods are
especially desirable when run in large
numbers on the ranges in mountainous
regions, as they herd well together,
retain the wool we'll, are well protected
by a close fleece, and probably do bet
ter than other breeds on coarse or
more or less woody vegetation. OF the
fine woods, the Ramboulllet has the
best mutton type and is the largest in
size.
The second class, or medium wool
sheep are probably best for non
irrigated sections of the state but do
well anywhere, as they are of a dis
tinct meat type, mature early, and fur
nish a higher percentage of mutton
than the fine woods. They are not as
large as coarse wool, for the sheep
mature earlier. Some of the breeds
Of this class are rather small, active
and well adapted to grazing where the
feed Is sparse.
The Southdowns are the smallest
and mature very early and rapidly,
but shear only about six to eight
pounds Of wool. The Shropshire is the
most popular farm sheep in America,
giving a well-balanced yield Of NUT
ton and wool, and shearing II to IA
| pounds under farm conditions. Hamp-
shires and Oxfords are larger than
Shropshires, but are a little slower in
maturing. Any one of these breeds
will give Observation-Disclosures Serv-

Articles to help the beginner in
radio are appearing in countless mum
bers in the radio publications, news
papers and elsewhere, and rightly So
for the number of newcomers in the
art Is legion. There are also discus
sions of the ~niceties, theories Of oper-
alton, and more or less complicated
and unique layouts of apparatus for
the advanced amateur-the fellow who
has the inclination, time and apparatus
to 60 into the theory Of radio for its
W sake and to help in the develop

I belong to neither class and have
often heard the same comment from
other amateurs.
The Experienced Amateur.
Let me speak for these other fel
lows when l say that we understand
the principles involved in a practical
way, that we usually want to have .
hand in the construction snd installa-
ton of our apparatus and that we have
the habit of changing our apparatus
and circuits for better or for
worse-sometimes to the intense
displeasure of our listening fam
lily and friends. Foremost in our
minds, though, are good results-we
find it necessary to know the theory OF
radio, but we are more interested in
the doing than in the knowing.
If u radio experience began before
the war, its history is probably about
as follows, up to the introduction OF
phone broadcasting:
Loose coupler and crystal,
Loose coupler and audicn,
A "tickler lookup using the old
coupler or honeycomb coils.
Finally the climax is a "short wave

short time ago 1t could only mean one
thing-a regenerative set consisting Of
three tuned circuits using a variocoup-
Ter and two variometers.
When B~roadcasting Was Young.
If we were to carry III history q
little way into the future, it would
probably have something to do with a
radio frequency simplifying system and
a loop aerial. However, most Of us
still look or that short wave set with
awe, for we remember those dots and
dashes from low-power, far distant
stations that other radio bugs" could
only hear in their ilsaginations. And
when broadcasting started, there were
nights when it seemed that the pro
gram was in the same room and the
sound details of the announcer's voice
were almost %uncanny. One could hear
him draw his breath and make the
other little noises incident to speech
that remind us of the wonderful repro
auctions Of Harry LADDERS voice on
the photograph. But unfortunately
there were nights when programs did
not measure up in one quality to even
the cheapest phonograph-especially
when our friends dropped in to listen
for an evening. Yes, there have been
nights when even the sound of a voice
of any kind would have been welcome
to our ears, and others when signals
started to swing and our nerves were
SO shattered trying to keep in tune that
we swung up and copied Navy press
just to be sure Of something. To make
matters more embarrassing, possibly,
we stopped in to hear the neighbours
set-one of the new b~rOadcasting re-
ceivers-an immaculate little thing
with two knobs to play with and pos
sibly a set Of dry cells to light its fila
ment, and behold, we heard the whole
concert through. OF course, the tone
quality isn't in the same class as that
from our three-circuit set when 1t de-
cides to perform, hut still we have to
hand It to our neighbor for he always
gets something and sometimes we get
nothing.
Personal Experiences.
From here on l must stick to per-
sonal experiences. Possibly they will
be repetitions Of other fellows expert
ences, but they may help others to get
the results I am getting now-good
results. When I saw my neighbours set
and others like it, I at first decided
that the r~efinements introduced in large
scale manufacture Of receiving sets for
concert reception made possible a set
that could not be duplicated by the
home workshop except by chance, and
we should all remember that this is
true, no matter how good our results
may be. Later, however, when ] found
the boys turning out n and two cir
cult sets that performed almost as well
as manufactured ones, and some OF
them very crude in construction, 1t
seemed to be up to me to junk the old
snort wave set and build something
new.
While planning The new set 1t oc-
Cured to me that all such sets differed
from the conventional three-circuit
tuner in having a direct inductive
coupling between the plate and grid
circuits. In other respects they varied
widely and 1t was difficult to select The

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Keep the pigs in clean quarters to
prevent disease.
Better sires, better herds; better
herds, better profits.
Early docking of lambs insures one
against loss and a severe check in
growth.
Raising live stock is a brand OF
pleasure that money standards cannot
measure.
Small, undeveloped horses from pony
mares and inferior breeding stock are
always a drug on the market. If ad-
vantage is to be taken Of the present
good horse price it is necessary to offer
good stuff.
Change the hog house or dairy barn
ventilating system with every change
in weather and with every change in
the number of animals in the building.
Corn-cob meal, as feed for young
pigs, is far better than pure cornmeal
because it is not so concentrated and
is more completelNdigested.
Young pigs are SO partial toward
green fibrous foods, such as corn silk
and tender, stringy vegetable matter
generally, that they will eat more of it
than they should.

Cut Down SoW's Ration
When Little Pigs Scour

When little pigs show symptoms of
securing, cut down the sow's ration
Immediately. -Four ounces Of raw lin
seed oil or fifteen to twenty grains Of
copperas in the sow's slop will help to
correct scours. Thumps in sucking
pigs come from too much rich food
and not enough exercise. The best
remedy Is prevention by sufficient ex-
erciSe.
