Practical Suggestions
on Care of a Herd Boar

L. P. Crawford. herismsn Of the
animal husbandry division at the
Clemson college. in making suggestions
on the care OF the herd boar. says the
animal should be put In s clean lot
A good grass lot or one sown TO rye
or rape, is preferable; however. the
mature boar does not consume very
much green forage, so nice grass lot
free Of mud wsIIows is su right This
should be large enough 10 permit the
boar taking plenty OF exercise. Some
breeders like the practice Of putting
q mature bosr In lot next TO sowy
SO that he will get the needed exer,-
else by walking up and down the
fence
A good well-bslanced ration and one
that he will like can be made up Of
corn meal. ground oats, wheat bran,
shorts and tankage- The boar should
not be too fat. but should be in 4
good thrifty condition
1t Is well to feed the above ration
as a very thin slop- A very thick
Stop Is not as pslstsble as q thin
one. and il would probably make the
boar too fat i7-

sistance It is merely necessary that
the wire be large enough. To get the
number of turns On a reserved space
the manufacturer often resorts to finer
gauge wire. This causes resistance
and impairs fine tuning. The wire
used should be No. 20 or larger. Prac-
tically all the self-supportig variom-
eters now on the market have high
enough ratio OF inductance for this cir
cult, so this is all that need be said
about this matter.
Now, in converting the set. the an
tenna loading coil is removed from the
regular coil. as it will only hinder fine
operation The variometer can be put
in small unit by itself and connected
outside of the set, but it is advisable
and more efficient to rebuild the whole
set on a new panel following the dia-
gram in Fig. l. The variometer Is best
placed at the left of the variable con-
densers. near the ground binding post
II is TO be placed so that the stRtor
windings will be at right angles to the
winding of the coil and connected
with the rotor toward ground poten-
tial. The coil should be placed as far
away from the yariometer as possible
without having the connections to the
variable condensers too long to cause
a loss
The Fixed Condenser.
The value and location of the fixed
condenser shown at No. ] and No 2
cannot be given. since the inductance
Of the variometer determines this fac
tor. If the set tunes high place the
condenser at No. 2. and If it tunes low
place IL at No. 1. 1t is best, however,
to place the condenser at No. 2 and
then experiment with its value Any
thing between .0O025 and .0O2 may be
ideal Perhaps the variometer selected
can cover the necessary wave length
band without any condenser whatever.
In such a case the small fixed con-
denser should not be used But IL
condenser is needed 1t should be Of the
rugged mica type that cannot be
squeezed or easily bent Also try the
yariometer connection shown In the
dotted line A B in conjunction with
the condenser. removing the connection
between A and c.
The set is tuned In exactly the same
manner as before except that the vari-
ometer takes the place Of the taps
Revolve 1t until the loudest point Is OBJ
tanned and then adjust the condensers-
Considering that dead end losses
are done away with and finer control
is obtained, this conversion is well
worth the trouble and expense made
on it.-New York Herald.

BY PETER MOMBELLO


Those fans using a four-clrcuit
the antenna coil is not good. For 43
turns of wire there are only seven
taps Qst, Sd, 18th, 18th, 21st, 31st, 43d)
and the number of turns that are
jumped when changing from one tap
to another cannot afford as fine a con-
troll of the primary circuit as would
be desirable. Also in the tapped coil
only a portion of the windings Is &C.
tually In the circuit. This causes
greater distributed capacity and re-
sistance. The added capacity simply
increases the wave length of the coil
and the resistance dampens the cir
cult or decreases selectivity. All this
is commonly known as dead end loss.
This may not be extremely important,
as regeneration makes up for such
losses. but as mentioned before, finer
control Is desirable.
The only instrument that can give
this finer control and, If properly Sc
lected, will do away with dead end
losses, is a variometer. In a variom-
eter the inductance is varied by
moving the rotor within the stator.
and with a good vernier on the variom-
eter dial this variation can be as fine
as 1t is possible TO get with any instru-
ment. Then it will be noted that all
the turns on variometer are used at
all times. and because of this no dead
end losses can detract from the eff
II. retr ~. afare ar
For these reasons 1t can be readily
seen that the substitution of a variom-
eter for the tapped antenna coil will
be a great improvement in the four
circuit tuner. But to make this change
worth while the variometer must be
selected with great care
Three Important Things.
There are three things that must be
considered In variometer construction
low resistance in windings. low in
ternal capacity and proper inductance
value. Wooden variometers, If well
made, will have a low capacity value,
but shellac, varnish and poor rotor
bearings will make them unsatisfac-
tory. Nodded variometers are good,
but their high internal capacity makes
them also unfit for this use. For low
internal capacity the best variometers
on the market are those of self-sup-
porting type, in single layer form. or
still better. In lattice-wound FORM The
windings should be attached to the
frame in such a way that the frame
does not itself act as dielectric and
thus create capacity effects. Excessive
binding material on the windings
should also be avoided. For low re-

MINERALS FOR BEEF
CATTLE FAVORED

Live stock breeders know that II has
long been the practice TO give cattle
common salt because the animals do
not obtain enough chlorine from their
feed to provide for proper digestion
Salt makes hydrochlonc acid IN the
stomach. and this acid Is essential for
digestion.
II Is now known that the rations fed
to beef cattle may be deficient IN min
erals other than salt, and that this
may affect the health, thrift, growth
and gains Of the animals Cows fed

Legume hays are rich In lime The

STAPLES
VARIATIoN-StapIe.
RACIAL ORIGIN-EngIish.
SOURCE-A locality.

Here is a family name which has
nothing to do with the article of hard
ware of the same name. 1t is founded.
rather. upon the same source as our
modern adjective staple" which we
use to denote common article OF
commerce. What is the connection?
1t lies in the original meaning of the
word. A staple article is a common or
usual article of trade. The phrase has
come TO have this meaning because it
meant originally a market article, y
or a marketable article, and in the
broad sense only an article in COM
mon demand is freely marketable. In
the medieval period, in which family
names were being formed, the staple
was an open market or trading place.
1t was quite natural, therefore. that
a man who lived at or near such a
place should be referred to as John
de la (of the) Staple" or william at
the Staple" And, as has happened
with virtually all of these descriptive
surnames, they have become family
names through the loss of their origi-
nal specific meaning. These prefiXes
have been dropped in the course Of
time.
Here, again. is a case in which the
addition of the "s' was but tendency
of the tongue, and did not represent

than the marvellous primroses of
Mount Vernon, which came from Eng

In any city one may see street ven.

But Washington is unique in the Won

make gay our city streets. 1t is al

grow accustomed to it, Spring after

From the fact of it's being his ia

But the primrose is linked forever
with the name of Charles Darwin.

made some of his finest experiments
and discoveries. In after life he al

To lovers of learning as well as those
of flowers the primrose will ever seem
peculiarly Darwin's flower.
