When building a portable radio re-
ceiving set for use during the summer
vacation, one important thing for most
radio fans to consider is the cost Of
the parts. Some portable receivers
have been described that will give ex-
cellent results with a loop antenna,
but unfortunately they cost entirely
too much for the average man to con-
slider building. On the other hand, If
1t were possible to build a set that
would give satisfactory results for
sum Of about $35 many people would
be only too glad to build it and would
consider the entertainment received
well worth the investment. The re-
ceiver to be described in this article
answers the last-named requirements.
The wiring diagram Of the receiver
being described will be found In the
accompanying Illustration. From this
II can be seen that 1t is very similar
to the standard three-circuit, honey
comb receiver, the chief difference
being that this particular set has been
designed for the reception of broad
casting waves and will work at high
est efficiency when receiving on wave
lengths between 200 and $50 meters,
whereas the three-coil honey-comb re-
ceiver was not designed for the re-
ception of any particular wave band
and will work with fair efficiency on
all wave lengths.
The space REQUIRED for mounting a
receiver Of this type is very small,
and If 1t is carefully designed it can
be mounted on a panel seven by ten
inches. Only four controls are neces-
sary on the front Of the panel, and
only three Of these have to be adjust
ed to control the wave length Of the
receiver. The four controls referred
to are the aerial tuning condenser, the
grid-tuning condenser, the ticker
coupling adjustment and the rheostat.
Any tube may be used in this cir
cult and It's selection depends upon
the use to which the set is to be put.
II the set is to be used as portable
receiver, as was suggested in the first
part Of this article, either a UV-199
or the C-299 tube would probably
prove most satisfactory, as these are
the most economical tubes manufac-

contact with the f1lament circuit, In
which case the tubes are promptly
burned out. To avoid this take an
electric extension plug of the type
which has two small brass posts on it,
as is generally used in France. With
a file make these two little plugs the
size of the base plugs Of an audion,
and the same distance apart. Make a
little metal plate, one side of which

his simple arrangement is Illus

has hooked up his set and before he

II the bulb burns out, It is necessary
to readjust his wiring, thus saving

LINSEED OIL MEAL
BEST FOR LAMBS

Two hundred and seventy lambs re-
Gently finished a To-day feeding trial
at the University of Nebraska where
q series Of trials are now under way
to determine the amounts of linseed
oilmeal to add to the standard fatten-
Ing ration for best results. Similar
tests are also being made on alfalfa
molasses meal.
Tight-wooled Wyoming lambs Of
time the experiment began they vera
valued at $13.05 hundred and aver
aged about sixty-three pounds per
head. The standard ration, consisted
Of corn and alfalfa hay to which was
added varying quantities of oilmeal or
sisted Of 30 lambs.
The greatest profit was made on the
lot fed corn, alfalfa and a medium
(.237 pound daily per head) allowance
Of oilmeal. The lot averaged "a cents
profit per head. Second best profits,
IS cents per head, were made on the
lot which received corn, alfalfa and
heavy GAP pounds daily feed Of OIL

feed of oilmeal produced the third
most profitable group which made 70

and alfalfa with no supplements made
a profit of 43 cents a head.
In this experiment both alfalfa-mo
lasses meal and linseed oilmeal had
higher replacement values when fed
In small amounts than when fed in
either medium or heavy allowances.
Feed prices were as follows: Shelled
corn, 60 cents bushel oats, 40 cents;
oilmeal, $50 per ton; alfalfa-molasses
meal, $25 per ton; prairie hay, S12 per
ton and alfalfa hay, SIS per ton. The
largest daily gains were made In the
lots receiving oilmeal. The lowest
cost of 100 pounds gain was In the
group which received light allowance
OF alfalfa-molasses meal, corn and al
falfa hay. Only three cents behind
came the group fed alfalfa hay and
corn. Greater profits were made Gu
81 cups having a higher cost per 100
pounds gain, because of better finish
and consequently better prices.
