Luck

Bad luck Is often another term for
bad Judgment. A wrong first step, an
impulsive action, an unreasoning OBJ
stinacy. or a blindness to facts may
each produce that train of conse-
quences which we prefer to call bad
luck" because we shrink from blaming
ourselves. The future, as yet unborn,
is beyond our scrutiny, but 1t will be
nearer to our hearts desire If we act
with the conviction that law Is over
all and that good luck and bad are In
the main only the working of the law
that we sow what we reap.-London

SOY BEAN OIL MEAL
FAVORED FOR HOGS

With the enormous increase In acre
age of soy beans planted each year Is
certain to come demand for informa-
tio1 on the value of soy-bean oilmeai
for growing and fattening pigs. Al
ready the beans are finding their way
to oil-expressing plants. When the OIL
Is removed, the residue, soy-bean OIL
meal, remains.
In anticipation of the demand Tor
information the Iowa experiment STA
ton recently closed q series OF tests
with this new feed. Previous expert
ments have shown that soy-bean oil
meal is lacking In mineral matter. 1t
runs about 43 per cent protein and
ranks with linseed oilmeal or cotton
seed meal as a balancer. The de-

or ground bonemeal, steamed bone
meal, rock phosphate or acid phos-

limestone, 40 pounds; or air-slaked
lime, wood ashes or foreground clam
or oyster shell. One-half ounce OF
potassium iodide was added to each
100 pounds of the mixture, which was
kept before the pigs at all times in a
self-feeder.
There were six lots of ten pigs each,
averaging about 70 pounds at the start,
that we are interested In. One lot
received shelled corn, 60 per cent tank
age and minerals, all settled on rape

corn, soy-bean oilmeal and minerals on
rape pasture while the third lot, also
on rape pasture, received shelled cor1.

posed Of tankage, 25 per cent, and
soy-bean oilmeal, rs per cent. Three
other lots were fed the same as the
three preceding ones but were kept In
dry lots.
The best gains on rape were made
by the lot settled shelled corn, soy
bean oilmeal and meat-meal tankage
1t also showed lower feed require
ment for 100 pounds gain.
In the dry lot groups the best gain
was made on a ration of shelled corn
and tankage and the pigs required less
feed for 100 pounds of gain.
From the results of this experiment
1t appears that soy-bean oilmeal may
have economic advantage when used |

Lambs Properly Docked
and Trimmed Are Rest

The practice of selling ram lambs,
and lambs that have not been docked,
would seem to be one of those Gus
toms that are common in other lines
Of business-they are the results Of
ignorance or carelessness. 1t belongs
to the same custom of putting good
feed into scrub animals; in wasting
manure; in burning straw stacks; in
leaving high-priced farm machinery
out in the weather; ETC., etc.
From all the evidence we can
gather, the practice of trimming and
docking lambs seems to be pretty
well established as money-making
proposition, says the Farmer and
Breeder. Prices of sheep and lambs
averaged rs per cent higher in 1923
than in 1913. Active consumer de-
mand exists for choice quality lamb.
The problem of supplying this quality
will be solved if buck lambs are made
into wethers and all lambs are docked,
properly finished and marketed at the
right ages and weights. These oper-
ations should be performed when
lambs are eight to fifteen days old.
There is abundant proof that they
are profitable for the Individual sheep
producer. Trimmed lambs command
higher prices and return larger profits.
Conclusive evidence of this is fur
nished by the extension division of
the college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Kentucky, which obtained
records of $1,000 lambs marketed last
year. This data shows that wether
lambs returned more than 50 per hun
dred above the price paid for buck
lambs.

Reports From Many Sources

The federal weather service, as it
was then called, began in 1871 to re-
ceive weather reports by telegraph on
which to base weather maps and fore
casts. There were at that time ONLY
50 stations sending In Geographic re-
ports. They were all in the United
States, and all but seven of them were
east of the Mississippi river. AT the
present time the maps and forecasts
issued by the weather bureau of the
United States Department of Agric1l-
ture are made from reports received
from 332 stations by electric telegraph
and cable lines, and by radio trans
mission from ships at sea. These
stations are distributed over widely
separated parts Of the globe. They
include the Asiatic coast and the Phil
ippnes in the Far East Canada. the
islands of the Pacific. Alaska. the
West Indies and northwestern Eu-
rope.

Tsai Tells of DarDn
of Chinese Renaissance

Beginning with the Eighteenth CEN
fury Chinese scholars began to inter-
est themselves widely in the origin Of
language and in history and archaeology.
Their methods were Identical with
those adopted by European savants."
says Y. p. Tsai in La Revue Bleue.
This constituted the dawn of the
renaissance in my country; but as
the natural sciences were still un-
known, the field of intellectual inter-
est was still narrow.
1T is only within the last thirty
years that Chinas scholars, educated
in their own country or in Europe or
America, have brought temporary
European culture to their country.
This has wrought revolutionary
change In our ways of thinking, COM
parable with that which followed
nearly twenty centuries ago-the in
PRODUCTION of Hindu philosophy. We
have been affected as Europe was by
its contact. with Arab civilization. We
are still in the first stages of Chinese
renaissance.
AT present not only our intellectual
leaders. but our merchants and manu-
facturers-in word. all the thinking
classes of the nation-are busily mas
tering western thought and revising
and amending our ancient doctrines
and arts so as to accommodate them
to the present age

Socket Contact Cleaner Cut From
Piece of Round Wood.

Il rule, these contacts are cleaned with
piece of sandpaper or emery cloth
held in place on the end of a stick.
This method, however, is clumsy, and
a good job is rarely done. If the lit
tie instrument herewith described is
used for this purpose, it will be sim
pie matter to do this work, and clean
contacts will always be assured. This
contact cleaner can be used on both
standard and UV-199 or Goo sockets.
1t is made of piece of round wood
13s inches in diameter and Az inches
long. One end of this piece of wood,

ter The other end is also slightly cut
down for length of about one-half
inch. Two round pieces of emery
cloth Of a diameter one-half inch
larger than the ends of the contact
cleaner are now forced over the ends
by means of two copper rings one
quarter of an inch wide. 1t might be
advisable to cut Sits about one-quar-
ter of an inch deep on the edges of the
emery cloth disks so that when forced
in place a smooth surface will be OBJ
.ained. To use this instrument it is
only necessary to remove the tube, in
sert one end Of the contact cleaner In
the socket and. while applying pres
sure, twist It from side to side. 1t will
be found that the contacts can be
cleaned in this manner very easily.
The time and labor expended on this
contact cleaner will be amply repaid
by the knowledge that the efficiency
of the receiver will not be lowered by

I former, should be connected to the
grid of the tube. The other side of
| the secondary should be connected to
the negative side of the "a" battery
and not the negative side Of the tube
| filament Remember. there Is a big
| difference between negative tube fila
ment and negative "a" battery, for
you are using a 30-ohm rheostat.
On a portable set two jacks are
sufficient. The first, or phone jack, Is
located across the primary of the
second AT transformer. By this
method of connection it is possible to
listen in on the phones while the loud
speaker is in operation without Grip
ping the loud speaker output. The
second jack is exclusively for loud
speaker reception.
Forty-five volts is suggested for the
first detector tube and 81 volts for the
two amplifier tubes.
The operation of the set is really
simple, there being practically only
two real tuning adjustments. These
are the variable condenser, G., and the
rotor, r. The switch. SW, is used prac-
tically for selectivity only. The con-
denser dial readings may be recorded
and will be found to be consistent
from time to time in recording the
same stations.
In a panel layout the variable con-
denser should be at the left and the
vario-coupler at the right. The switch
contacts should be above the dials In
the center of the panel. 1t is sug-
gested that just below the dials lit
tie push-pull switch be introduced into
the "a" battery circuit to turn the
tubes on and Off The two rheostats
can go at the right of the panel, with
the two jacks directly under them.
The grid leak, GIL, and condenser, CT,
should be located as near the detector
tube as possible. The lead should not
be over one inch long.
This circuit is typical Of all the !
multi-audi-plex family, only 1t is de-
signed for dry battery tubes for port
able use during the summer months.
1t can quite readily be seen that the
parts suggested in this circuit can be
got into small space if the descrip-
tive panel layout is followed. This
circuit will give excellent loud speaker

Here is a diagram for portable
three-tube multi-audi-plex circuit, using
Nv 100 tubes, operated entirely from
dry batteries.
Procure a $50 degree type vario-
coupler. Wind the stator, S, with 40
turns of No. % double cotton covered
wire. Starting from the ground side
of the stator, tap every four turns for
FIVE taps, utilizing 20 turns of wire
connected to the switch. SW, which is
In turn connected to the aerial circuit.
The rotor circuit, r, may have any
where from fifteen to fOrty-five turns
of wire, depending upon the amount OF
regeneration developed in the circuit.
regeneration Is too strong, the num-
Der Of turns may be reduced until
violent regeneration is subdued.
This is not single-clrcuit, but is
really a two-circuit tuner of very sim
pie adjustment. Radiation from this
circuit is almost impossible.
Across the stator, S, is connected
a OOO5 inf. variable condenser, pref
erably the 23-plate type. Care should
be exercised that the rotary plates
are connected to the ground, as this
will eliminate body capacity effects.
The grid condenser, CT, is of the
mica type, .OOO25 inf. The grid leak,
GL should be anywhere from two to
FIVE megohms, the higher the better.
The rheostats, r and r, are 30
ohms, one rheostat controlling the de-
tector tube, while the other rheostat
controls the two amplifier tubes.
The "a" battery consists of three
cells of dry battery. Oftentimes a
three cell &c" battery, now common on
the market, may be used where COM
pactness is not essential. Three blocks
of "B" battery will be sufficient for
loud speaker reception on this cir
cult. 1t would not be advisable to get |

that he had enlisted regularly in the

the nearest army post at once. First
Rob paled with dread and alarm, for
he was natural coward. There was

Lightning Safe Fences

If fence posts are of wood or cement,
70 safeguard stock from lightning,
either put in steel fence post every
few rods or staple heavy fence wire
the entire length Of post in contact
with the fence wires so as to ground
them. Then, If lightning strikes the
fence, or a tree near the fence, the
death-dealing bolt will not follow far
along the fence and kill stock that
may have pushed against it in storm.
OF course, if the posts are of steel
they ground the wires perfectly. Wire
fences fastened to buildings should be
grounded at the last post or two and
at buildings.

Quick and Easy Method of Soldering
Those Outside Joints.

After preparing the joint to be sol
dered in the usual manner, the ball of
waste is soaked in gasoline and set on
fire with match. The blazing waste
is held under the joint until the flux
flows, and then the joint is touched
with piece of wire solder. A further
application of heat causes the solder
to flow in the joint.
When finished with the torch, put
the ball of blazing waste into the can
and the cover fitting into place will
extinguish the fiame.-Radio News.
