Adjusting Voltage on
Your Amplifer Tubes

Most or us know 1t Is an adyantag,
TO be able to closely regulate the plat,
voltage for the detector tube, especial
~ when a soft or gassy tube is used
For the amplifier 1t Is customary tc
use single plate voltage in the order
OF 671s to 90, or In rare cases 12O, for
the two tubes, and let it 90 at that.
This practice has been general I'D TO
date because it was found by early
experimenters In radio that critical
adjustment Of the plate voltage on
amplifier tubes was not needed.
quite a few experimenters are using
lower plate voltage on the first audio
tube than Is used on the second one.
with somewhat better results, getting
away from all possible distortion due
to overloaded tubes. is
But there is still another case where
the adjustment of the amplifer plate
voltage is Of a distinct advantage.
ana where the Improvement in the sig
nal Is more easily noticeable, and that
Is when any one of the B battery elm.
inators now on the market Is used as
the source Of supply.
experiments conclusively prove we
nave not been getting the most out of
the ampliiier until this voltage is close
~ regulated. While 1t can be noticed
with the signals from the local stations
1t Is more noticeable on the more dis
tant stations.
IL seems that the plate voltage is
determined somewhat by the mar
-icular filament temperature that ia
ised. For example, when we have
he rheostat three-quarters of the way
IN we get the best signal with a plate
cottage OF 40. Increasing this to 80
'r W volts only gives us signal that
very mushy and far from clear. This

ancing the rheostat until we have

lushy signal and VIE must again ad.

Pasture Rotation Keeps
Lamb Parasites Checked

The belief of progressive sheepmen
that pasture rotation reduces the raw
ages Of parasites among sheep and
lambs received a scientific test last
year at the Beltsville (Md) farm op-
Grated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. According to the
report Of the chief Of the bureau Of
animal industry, just issued, that be-
lief is correct. The government investl-
gators found that systematic rota-
ton Of forage-crop pastures enables
lambs to reach market weight with
out visible effects Of parasitic 1nfes-
tatiOn.
The system, though keeping para
sites in check, is not an absolutely
sure method. While the frequent
changes Of pasture proved beneficial,
they were not entirely adequate In
the control of parasites Of sheep car
ried throughout the year. Stomach
worms are among the most serious
pests attacking farm focks and for
their complete suppression some meth |
cd Of treatment such as dosing with |
dilute copper-sulphate solution Is de-
sirable. Details Of the method are
obtainable without cost from the bu-
reau of animal Industry, United States
Department Of Agriculture, at Wash

transformers such as Is used to run
toy trains or to light the small lights
on a Christmas tree will answer the
purpose. These small transformers
are usually arranged so that you can
usually obtain any voltage between
2 and 20 In 2-volt graduation.
In A Is a diagram showing how
to connect the transformer, socket
and single-pole doube-throw switch,
for OLA, and In b is shown the con-
nectlon for 90 tubes. Below you
will find table Of the correct voltages
and the exact length of time that you
must keep the voltage on. Use a
watch; do not try and guess the time
For sos: First on ten volts for 80
seconds; then on volts for 10 Sec
onds.
For -O1As: First on 16 volts for
30 seconds; then on volts for 10 sec
onds.
Makes Tubes More Sensitive.
This excessive alternating voltage
applied to the filament boIls the
thorium from the inside Of the fila
ment wire and brings 1t to the sur
race. If this treatment were con-
tinued for any length of time 1t
would soon boil all Of the thorium
from the surface, but you will notice
that this excessive voltage Is used
only for 30 seconds. We now apply
the lower voltage which bakes the
thorium on the suface thus bringing
the tube back to life again.
Tubes that would not draw the
least amount of plate current and
therefore would not operate were
treated In the above manner and are
low working efficiently.
Many times detector tubes can be
made more sensitive by this treat
nent. Taking everything into consid-
ration 1t is an inexpensive method Of
alvaging tubes.-New York Sun.

A number Of radio fans have ha,

is condition often brought on by ex
cessiye fllament voltage.
outside of the fact that the tube
has been operated at q voltage in
excess of Its rating the actual cause
for the tube to become imperative
remains complete mystery to many
FANS. What actually takes place In
side OF this delicate piece of appa-
ratus Is:
Inc three-electrode vacuum tube
depends for Its operation on the fact
mat heated filament throws off cleo
irons. These nlectrons are thrown In
all directions and are minute charges
or negative electricity. The plate Is
given positive charge and therefore
attracts these small negative charges
In the OLA and 80 tubes the fila
inent Is thorlum treated wire. The
reason for using thorium Is that this
metal Is one of the best-known emit
ters Of electrons. Now If we use an
excessive fiament voltage, the tiny
hiament wire will be heated to
much higher temperature than the
temperature at the normal filament
rating. This excessive heat bolls all
the thorium OF the filament. When
the thorium has been removed from
the surface Of the filament wire the
tube becomes dead as far as reception
is concerned, due to the absence of |
electronlc emission to form the con-
1uctor from filament to plate.

ID subject concerning many farmerH
Results Of experiments conducted by
the animal husbandry department at
South Dakota State college indicate
that the Introduction of alfalfa hay
Into the ration for hogs materially re-
duces the amount Of corn required to
produce a given amount of pork. In
two trials conducted recently, one LOT
of pigs was fed only corn and tank
age. Another lot was fed corn, tank
age, linseed meal, and chopped al
falfa hay. Where It required 367
pounds OF corn and 43 pounds Of tank
age to produce 100 pounds of gain In
the first lot 1t required 325 pounds
OF corn, 20 pounds Of tankage, 1915
pounds of linseed meal, and 1875
pounds Of alfalfa hay in the second
lot.
Several experiment stations recon-
mend chopped alfalfa hay only for use
in hog ration. TO find out if whole
alfalfa hay could not be substituted, |
a test was run at the South Dakota |
college farm. Three lots Of hogs were
fed chopped hay, while three other
lots received good alfalfa hay In a
rack. The results to date indicate
that the pigs made approximately as
good gains where the uncut hay was
fed as when the hay was chopped.
Further trials will be conducted along
his line before final recommendations
,an be made.
If our present results are borne out
n further trials, 1t will be of great
Importance to the farmers of South
Dakota" A. H. Kuhlman Of the an
NAL husbandry department points out.
If choice alfalfa hay fed in racks will
'roduce gains approximately as good
s those obtained in feeding chopped
ay, many farmers in this state will
e in position to increase their re-
urns from feeding pigs In the winter
lonths. The addition of alfalfa hay
