Floyd Dell. popular novelist. dis
cussing marital problems In Hearst's
International, claims he had the
temerity to address the following re-
marks TO his bride the day after the
wedding:
'If you think this Is one Of those
modern, advanced. civilized. artistic,

taken. young woman. This is regu-
lar old-fashioned honest-to-God mar

Of them. And because we want to be

Plan to Test Radiation
Will Prove Worth While

Since the Inauguration of the anti
squeal campaign lot of trick circuits
are coming out with claims that they
do not radiate. In some instances the
claims seem to have some basis. The
best way to settle beyond cavil whether
your set radiates or not Is to arrange
a test with neighbor, say block or
so away. Agree on a time for the test.
Agree on q wave length, or series of
them. for testing. For instance. have
your neighbor listen for KDKA from
7 to Z 80 on a night when they are on
the air. Tune your set to KDKA. then
force regeneration and oscillation to the
limit. twisting the dials and producing
all the squeals possible: If the neigh
Dor hears the squeaiing It's time for
you to get a real, loose coupled radio
set or one of the type using radio
frequency.

FARM
SOCK
GAIN IN WEIGHT ON
FATTENING CATTLE

Gains In weight on fattening cattle
cost more than the market price re-
ceived for them. A margin over the
cost of the steers per cwt is neces-
sary for profit, or to break even on
the feeding operation
The margin necessary to break
even under present feeding conditions
with different fattening rations is
brought out in a recent fest carried
on at the Colorado state experiment
station.
In one lot fed yearling steers weigh
ing 716 pounds and costing $500 per
cwt were fattened for 100 days on
barley, sunnower silage and alfalfa.
They gained LIB pounds daily, or 329
pounds when weighed up at market,
and required 3,411 pounds Of silage,
zoos pounds of barley and 1853
pounds of alfalfa hay to put on this
gain. With silage at $500, barley at
ton it cost s43.94 to fatten each steer;
S3.01 represents interest at per cent
on S50.12, the first cost of the steers,
plus the feed cost, s43.94, for $50
days. The shipping and selling ex-
pense was 1895, making a total cost
per fat steer back on the market of
S10092. The steer weighing 1,045
pounds had to bring 1896 per cwt, or
a margin of s266 over cost to break
even. three-cent margin would
have meant labor return Of $3.57
per steer A four-cent margin a labor
return of S14.02. etc.
In this method of figuring a fair
market price is secured for home
grown grain and alfalfa fed. while the
feeder with the use of plenty of bed
ding has between three and four tons
of manure per head in addition.
In beet-growing districts, where wet
pulp can be hauled and fed, a mar
rover margin is needed. With a ra-
ton consisting of wet pulp, beet mo-
lasses, cottonseed cake and alfalfa,
only S103 over purchase price per
cwt. was needed to break even. I'm
balanced rations cause low
gains and lack of finish, which cut
down the size of the margins secured.

I ductivity Is very low. Make all con-
nections direct In straight lines and
/ solder absolutely every connection.
When soldering the connections to the
crystal detectOr units make sure that
! you remove the crystals, as they will
be ruined by the heat or decomposed
by the soldering f1ux. For the sake of
tone quality use fixed condensers hav-
ing mica dielectric, and connect
these directly on the posts of the
transformer as shown in the diagram.
Since different transformers vary
greatly in their construction, it would
he worth while to experiment with the
capacity of the two fixed condensers.
Although "B" battery of 221a volts
Is used to force the signals through
the simplifying transformers, the unit
should be built with the greatest of
care, as every bit of energy is to be
preserved if the amplifcation is to be
successful.
Operating Ampifier.
In operating this amplifler connect
the phone terminals of the set to the
primary of the first transformer; then
carefully manipulate the first crystal
until the greatest volume is obtained
Follow this by manipulating the sec
Ond crystal for louder results. After
little parctice the two crystals can
be worked simultaneously.
This amplifier, although 1t cannot

amplifier using tubes. will be free from
the tube noises of the latter amplifier.
Under good conditions, crystal set
will do very good work with this unit,
and the locals will come in as strong
as on the ordinary two-tube regenera-
tive receiver. Although the range OF
the receiver will not be increased by
adding this ampifier the signals
which were not audible will be greatly
amplified and they will be heard clear
~ in the phones without the usual

If. due to the location of the re
ceiver, one of these units fails to op-
crate a loud speaker, two of them
should be constructed. The second
amplifier should use one medium

Colored Onions Repei Germs

In the course of an investigation OF
some plant diseases that attack the
common onion plant. Dr. ]. c., Walker
has discovered that the colored varie-
ties of onions are highly resistant to
the diseases, whereas the pure white
onions succumb at once. The secret Is
that the skins of the colored onions
contain chemical which is poisonous
TO the germs causing the disease. If
one of these germs tries to penetrate
INTO the colored orion bulb the germ is
killed. White onions lack this germ
poison and disease finds them, there
tore, an easy prey.

Where Trouble Comes in
Altering Your S. c. Set

The trouble in altering the single
circuit set lies in getting the tube to
oscillate at the high waves, and also
IN the loss of volume and distance
reception when dry cell tubes are used.
In trying to overcome these two things
the ultra audion circuit has been sug
gested at different times. but this cir
cult in Its standard form also has
shortcomings. making it little better,
If any. than the tuned plate circuit.
The receiver described herein is an
improved ultra audion circuit that fills

The diagram given with this article

Vegetable Supplements
Will Benefit Brood Sow

Brood sows that are fed such bal

meal in rations that contain corn,
barley, and other cornbelt feeds. make
better mothers and better suckers
than If their rations are balanced with
vegetable supplements, says John II.
Evvard of the Iowa experiment sta
ton.
In some of his tests at Ames, Mr..
Evvard has found that the addition of
one-third to one-half pound of high
protein tankage has decreased per-
ceptibly the corn or other basal feed
needing balance. This saving has
amounted to three-fourths of a pound
to two pounds per SOW per day. A
mixture of tankage rs parts. linseed

Albeit you love in dark or day
