THE OPTIMIST

JENKINS was an optimist and, Incl
- dentally, he was bald he was not
a too-credulous optimist who invested
his money in every thinly tinseled gold
brick. which was presented to him, but
ne believed in things and in people !;
he had enthusiasm; he was cheerful
under defeat.
If the day was gloomy, jenkins was
hopeful that the sun would shine to-
morrow; if prices were low or the
crops not so abundant as might be de-
sired, he could always detect indica-
tons of improvement in the immediate
future. Things are seldom so bad as
they seem, he argued.
When some local enterprise or I'M
dertaking or project seemed hopelessly
involved or on its last legs, it was al
ways Jenkins who was called in, and
he could so inspire enthusiasm and
confidence that more often than other
wise the venture succeeded in pulling
out of its hole He made the Country
club go when it seemed dying of finan-
cial anaemia; he put new life into the
Baptist church when religious drought
seemed about to devastate it; and
when local business was stagnatlng
and civic enthusiasm was at its low
est ebb he organized kiwanis club
that Immediately put the old town on
the map.
AS said at the outset, Jenkins was
bald. and this condition was to him a
matter of considerable concern. Here,
as usual, however, his optimism came
TO the front. He believed that ulti-
mately he would find a remedy for the
condition of his shiny poll. and he kept
at it persistently and cheerfully.
He tried number of nostrums, and
his friends, knowing his hirsute am
billions, recommended others to him.
One of these guaranteed success DO
not drop any of this liquid" the d.
rections read, "where you do not wish
hair to grow" This remedy seemed
too dangerous to handle. so jenkins
evaded it, but he kept on with others,
fully confident that he would attain
success.
Hair is a pretty difficult substance
10 develop on billiard ball. but may
be it can be done. The last time I
saw Jenkins he had very respectable
showing of curly locks. Maybe 1t was
faith. maybe it was persistence, pos
sibly 1t was the regular and vigorous
MASSAGE which he gave the top of his
head, and it is possible that 1t was
pure optimism that brought about the
result. At any rate. jenkins sue
ceeded.

REDUCE DEATH LOSS
IN SHIPPING HOGS

At nine of the principal live stock
markets during a six-months' period
In 1922 there were received total of
2S,375 dead hogs and 38,70S in a more
or less crippled condition. Very re-
cent reports from the yards at Denver
show that the losses there during the
past two weeks have been extremely
heavy, five or six dead hogs In a car
being nothing uncommon, and IN one
instance thirteen dead hogs were
found in one carload.
In eliminating the losses the first
thing of course, Is to get at the cause.
The minimum load for a freight car
is 1900 pounds. In the case above
where there were thirteen dead hogs
in the load, at the point Of origin
this load weighed $4,000 which is 1000
pounds in excess Of the maximum al
lowed by the insurance companies.
The insurance company, of course, re-
fused to meet the loss because the
car was loaded In excess of their
specified maximum. In most of the
cars coming into the Denver yards
with dead hogs the cars were over
loaded, 30 that overlooking is with
out a doubt one of the principal
causes Of loss In shipping.
There are other factors which cause
losses In shipping during hot weather.
Overlooking at time Of loading Is
without question important. A hog
with an empty stomach has a much
better chance of reaching the market
In good condition than one that has
had a full feed just before being load
ed Hogs which are over filled are
very apt to become overheated and
get sick. If the weather is warm, 1t Is
better to feed little less at the last
regular feeding period before loading.
The shipper should see that the car
is well cleaned out especially II 1t has
manure In 1t as manure Is very liable
to be a cause Of a great deal Of heat
in the car. After the car Is well
cleaned, II should be bedded down
with two or three inches of sand or
fine gravel; cinders are also good but
possibly not as cooling In the summer
as sand or gravel. Before loading
the bedding should be well wet down.
Ice In gunny sacks hung in the cen
ter Of each half Of the car will also
help to lower the temperature.
When loading hogs in the summer
time keep In mind that the greatest
cause Of death Is due to overload
ing. 1t Is better to load a little I'M
der the 1900 pounds minimum rather
than over It'll. H. Smith, assistant
professor animal husbandry, Colorado
Agricultural college.

Proper Care of Storage
Battery Is Important

Proper care Of the battery will dou-
BILE the usual reception Of the set. AL
ways remove the acid or water from
the top of the battery, as the moisture
will sometimes cause unnecessary
noises. Never place the battery near
window curtains, as the fumes will
ruin them. Do not set the battery on
or next a rug, as the acid might leak
and ruin 1t. If battery Is in good con-
dition it will not freeze. The care OF
the radio battery is more important
in the summer time than In the win
ter. because many people are not in
clined TO use their sets in summer. If
the battery Is not used Tor long time
and is left in discharged condition,
sulphation will result. This condition
can sometimes be remedied by pro-
longed charge. Many times 1t Is nee
essary to dismantle and repair.

EXCUSES

OUR hired man had a number a
~ distinctive characteristics: he
was real beau when he was dressed
up, he had read more sensational
stories than any other ten people had
ever met, he retailed enough baseless
gossip to have entitled him to honor
airy membership In a women's dupn-
cate whist club, and he had faculty
for offering excuses and alibis, In case
he was detected In error or neglect,
that was little short Of genius.
II the bars were down and the cattle
got into the corn, If he left the mules
united and they ran away and smashed
things, II he forgot to water the gar
den, in the well-known words of Mr..
Post, there was reason In fact,
there were dozen, If need he, all good
and sufficient and no duplicates Ia the
lot This peculiar talent Of his for eI-
PLANTATION, however, father thought
would be of more value in the diplo-
matte service than on the farm, SO he
let him go.
The person with an excuse usually
feels himself safely armed against any
contingency. If he should reach the
railroad station late, but with badly
working alarm clock to lay the blame
on, he would feel injured If the train
was not held for him.

to me, confidentially. Il sat up late,
somebody had stolen my alarm clock.
but 1 asked the maid to wake me, and
then she forgot It,"
His excuse was good one, ha
thought, and should have saved him
from any unpleasant consequences. but
the fact remained that he didn't keep
his appointment; 1t was his last chance
he lost the sale.
Men want efficiency In those with
whom they do business, not the ability
to explain why one has been inefficient
Nobody cares for excuses excepting
that they show desire on the part OF
4 derelict to be polite What is need
ed is to have things right the first time
they are done, to have people on time,
to have work accomplished within the
limits set, and to be sure the message
is carried to Garcia We judge mel

ployee said who was asking credit for
something he had attempted, but in
which he had failed. But that Is not

Crystal Detector That Re-

A dependable crystal detector requir-
ing no adjustment can be assembled
from the following materials: Two
upholstery or thumb tacks, two binding
posts, two pieces of bakelite or other
good insulating material, length Of
hard drawn copper wire for clips and
a small piece of crystal. Any good
crystal will do, but perhaps best re-
suits will be obtained If the crystal Is
of the synthetic "all-sensitive" variety.
One piece of bakelite should be at
least IL inches long and about K Of
an inch square. This piece is drilled
lengthwise through the center with a
small drill of a size to snugly accom-
modate the two thumb tacks. One
tack is inserted in this hole to within

Tankage Will Increase
Rate of Gain in Hogs

During the summer of 1923 SO hogs
were carried on a To-day feeding test
by the University Of Nebraska to de-
termine II tankage Is necessary when
good alfalfa pasture is available. The
SO pigs, weighing around 81 pounds
apiece, were placed In separate lots.
Two lots were seeded to alfalfa and
the third was dry.
The highest daily gain per head was
made In the alfalfa lot that received
shelled corn and tankage. The gain In
that lot was IA pounds as compared
with .65 pounds In the alfalfa lot re-
celving no tankage and 1.25 pounds In
the dry lot where corn and tankage
were fed.
The feed cost per 100 pounds Of
gain ran highest for the pigs on al
falfa that received no tankage and
lowest on the alfalfa lot fed tankage
The three lots ranked as follows: Al
falfa. shelled corn and tankage, SSH;
dry lot, corn and tankage, $500; al
falfa and shelled corn, $685.. Prices
at that time on corn were rs cents
bushel; tankage, s65 ton, and pas
ture. one-half cent day.
The pigs in the lot which received
no tankage practically destroyed the
alfalfa by roofing. while those receiv-
ing tankage and alfalfa did not root
at all. 1t was found that tankage
greatly increased the rate of gain, re-
duced the COST of 100 pounds gain and
saved the pasture.

Grinding Buckwheat for
Cattle or Hogs Is Best

Buckwheat can best be fed to rat
tening cattle or hogs by grinding II
rather coarsely and feeding 1t dry.
Much better results are secured
where buckwheat forms only about
one-third Of the ration. especially
when fed to hogs. Because OF It's
coarse outside hull, buckwheat con,
tains too much fiber to give the best
results when fed alone to hogs. Inc
best results will be secured when IL
is fed along with corn and tankage IN
a mixture Of 60 per cent corn, ~ per
cent buckwheat. and 10 per cent tank
age. Practically the same results VIII
be secured as where ration of 80 per
cent corn and 10 per cent tankage IL

Hints About Soldering
of Radio Connections

Three things must especially be re-
membered while soldering, 1t Is al
ways important to have the surface
or surfaces to be soldered perfectly
clean. Emery cloth or a fine file may
be used in some cases. Unclean sur
faces do not permit the solder to flow
freely.
The second point to bear in mind Is
to tin the surfaces properly. This IL
done by first applying soldering fiux,
such as resin, acid or paste, to the
surfaces, and then the well-tinned
iron is run over them. This will leave
thin coating Of solder on the sur.
faces, thus making them ready for the
connection.
The final operation should not be at.
tempted unless the soldering copper
is Of the proper heat. 1t should never
be heated above the point where the
solder begins to turn gray. To tin the
iron. dip the end in the soldering flux
and rub a piece of solder on the sur
face. A thin coat of solder will. re-
main on the soldering tip.
When soldering, the iron is placed
on the surfaces to be Joined together
When the solder has melted around
the parts being soldered. the iron II
removed and the solder will quickly
set. Care should be taken not to jar
the pieces while the solder Is setting
and also to allow only minimum
amount of solder to flow: thus pre-
venting an unxi2htly Joint

Water Supply for Stock

An abundant supply of water is an
essential affecting profits in fattenins
live stock for market. OFTEN hogs
do not get enough water, particularly
during the hot summer months. wa
terlng twice day or morning ano
evening is not sufficient. They should
be watered at least three times day.

insulator with a tin can as shown In
the Illustration. This can should be
of such size that there is at least three
quarters Of an inch clearance on either
side of the insulator, and 1t should be
placed so that the opening is at the
lower end. A hole is bored through
one end Of the tin can large enough
to pass the insulator eye through and
this hole should afterward be entirely
closed with solder. The can should
also be painted inside and out to pre-
vent rust and corrosion- This type Of
covering will keep the insulator fairly
dry in the most severe weather and
those weak signals will still be picked
up during heavy rain storms.-Radio

circuit by employing a variometer as
shown. This form Of regeneration
control Is preferred In place Of the
a loop antenna directly In the grid
filament circuit.
The above circuit shows a two-step
audio frequency amplifier to build up
the signal strength, as it Is not ad-
visable to attempt reception on loop
with a detector only. Now 1t must
be remembered that what we are at
ter is not a means Of getting the
greatest possible volume Of sound In
the phones from a given signal, but
a means of getting good clear recep-
ton, free from interfering noises.
The loop antenna affords the best
means of accomplishing this without
the use of any special form Of ap-
paratus.
The loop aAtenna, however, Is far
from being perfect in this respect and
permits considerable static to pass
into the detector, but being the best
we have In the line Of ordinary ap-
paratus, we will have to be content
with separating the rest Of the static
from the signal after 1t has been de-
tected. The resistances shown across
the secondaries Of the simplifying
transformers are ordinary u megohm
resistances, commonly used as grid
leaks. The Introduction Of these re
sistances into the circuit as shown
reduces the signal strength somewhat,
but helps greatly in eliminating tubs
noises and the still existing static In
terference.-New York Sun

We know that we can reduce the
static signal ratio by reducing the
size Of the antenna. However, below
a certain size, the regular form of
antenna Is not as efficient a collector
as the loop antenna. The loop an
tenna proves to be an improvement
over the picture molding antenna be-
cause it produces signals equally as
strong, while at the same time the
static signal ratio Is much more ia
vorable.
Ordinarily the use of the loop an
tenna for distant reception is con-
fined to receivers employing one or
more stages Of radio frequency am
plifcation. This should not give you
the impression that 1t is not prac-
teal to use a loop antenna in con-
nection with the ordinary regenera-
tive type receiver. 1t Is entirely pos
sible with a receiver consisting OF
loop antenna, regenerative detector
and two-step audio frequency ampli-
fer to hear concerts from stations 500
miles distant with sufficient volume
to make 1t enjoyable.
The circuit shown will enable you
to take advantage of the selectivity
and anti-static properties of the loop
antenna without resorting to the use
Of radio frequency application You
will notice that the loop Is connected
directly across the grid filament cir
cult without employing any form OF
coupling coil. Regenerative amplifi-
cation Is obtained by tuning the plate
circuit to resonance with the grid

The crystal should now be pounded to
fine grains and Is of an inch of them
poured into the hole from the opposite

inserted in this end so that the crys-

points of both tacks. A mounting for
this crystal detector may easily be
made from the copper wire and may
take the form shown in the diagram.
This type of detector will prove both
