THE PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING
TRANSFORMER ACTION.
PART III

Two of the commonest types Of
transformers used in audio frequency
circuits are shown In Figs. l and 2.
The type shown in Fig. / is known as
a "core-type" transformer, while the
one shown In Fig. 2 is known as
"shelltype" transformer.
In the core-type transformer the
primary and secondary >windings are
both wound around one leg of the
transformer core, making the ratio or
average length of electrical circuit to
magnetic circuit small as compared
to the ratio Of electrical circuit to mag
netic Circuit in the shell-type trans
former.
Proximity Causes Howls.
Due to the high value Of the exter-
nal magnetic field of the core-type
transformer, the amount Of bowling
which 1t produces because Of proxim-
ity of transformers and wiring Is
much greater than that which is OBJ
tanned when the shell type Of trans
former is used.
In a new transformer the designers
have gone a step farther in reducing
the external field by inclosing the
coil almost completely. The core of
the new transformer shown in Fig. 3
Is of the shell type shown in Fig. 2

Foreign Glover Seed Is
Found to Be Worthless

During the last five years approx
imately twelve and one-quarter mil
lion pounds Of Italian red clover seed
has entered the United States from
italian ports. This seed is classed by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and the state experiment sta
lions which have thoroughly tested 1t
as mo good" 1t is not adapted to
the production Of clover IN this coun-
try.
Reports coming from experiment
stations in Iowa, Minnesota, WiscQn-
sin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Tennes-
see, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
New York and several other states,
present body Of information which
leads to several important conclusions
These are that Italian red clover seed
Is worthless except in Idaho and
Washington, where the climate Is
mild; that Bohemian red clover is
not much better, and that native
American clover seed Is the best Of
all to withstand the winter weather
and the attacks Of mildew and
anthracnose.

Fa::!!rrnH-int

How about that new alfalfa seed
ing you were planning to put in?
Some say dust potatoes, and some
say spray, but either is better than
neither.
To pour feed into dairy COW Of
unknown productive ability is like
sinking money into wildcat oil stocks.
Early blowing Is best for wheat.
The seeded should be fairly deep,
with loose surface, but well firmed.
Most farmers think late afternoon
is the best time to cut alfalfa. The
hay is apt to look better for it, and
more of the leaves will stay on.
The use Of improved machinery
makes the average agricultural worker
able to care for three times as many
acres of crops as he could handle Is
years ago.
A substantially made well curb and
platform help to keep the drinking
supply pure and uncontaminated. Use
a 1928 mixture-one part cement, two
parts sand and three parts pebbles or
crushed rock.
Short pastures now will be shorter
next season II nothing's done to i'm
prove them. Manure Is one Of the
best helps for rundown grass; ten
or fifteen loads to the arre will be
aoticed next summer.

Number Of Eggs Counts.
Grain for Mature Bull
Depends Upon His Size

The grain a mature bull should be
fed depends, of course, upon his size
and the amount Of work he Is doing.
If he is getting around II or Is pounds
Of good clover or alfalfa hay and some
silage, grain may not be necessary.
Many men prefer to feed some grain
and either eliminate the silage or feed
1t in small amounts.
There Is some question as to the adj
visibility Of silage In bulls ration.
Fed in amounts not In exces Of 10
pounds for a large animal, there is
very little danger Of his becoming too
paunchy for service. On the other
hand, there Is no particular reason
why a bull should receive silage H.
his other feeds are right.
The amount of grain allowed must
vary with conditions and service. Usu-
ally from four to eight pounds Is fed.
A good mixture Of corn meal, three
parts; ground oats, three parts; wheat
bran, three parts, and oilmeal. one
part. A reasonably accurate guide
Is to feed a bull the same as q COW
in full milk.

Commercial Fertilizer
ENCOURAGES Big Yields

The continued use of commercial
fertilizer over a series of years will
encourage the production Of large
yields and 1t may be at the end Of such
q period 1t will be found impossible to
raise as good a crop without the use
Of fertilizer. However, this is not
due to any injurious effect Of the fer
tilizer itself, but rather to the fact that
the fertilizer has stimulated the crop,
and caused 1t to remove from the soil
even more plant-food elements than are
supplied by the fertilizer. But II
either large or small amounts Of fer.
tilizer are used in connection with a
good system Of cropping, and every
care Is taken to return all the manure
to the land, there will be no reduction
of yield due to soil depletion. The fact
Is, commercial fertilizers have very
definite value, more especially when
proper use depends on such factors a.
crops. soils, rotation systems, etc.

Guinea Pigs History

When the Spaniards first invaded
the guinea pig was found domesticated
and living in large numbers in the
houses of the Indians, by whom it was
used for food. The cavy was carried
to Europe by Dutch traders during the
Sixteenth century. Since then it has
been kept in the Old world and In
North America chiefly as a pet, and
until recently has been generally re-
garded as an animal Of little prac-
teal utility. The name pig is readily
suggested by Its form, but the origin
of guinea" as applied to it is I'M
known, but may be a corruption of
Guiana pig"

Soy Beans Furnish
Protein for Stock
Are Superior to Cottonseed
Cake for Dairy Cattle.

The past few years has seen q
marked increase in the acreage aud
interest in the growing Of soy beans
A national association Of growers Of
soy beans has been organized and
they are very actively engaged In
popularizing the soy bean In the Unit
ed States.
The seed Of the soy bean plant IL
the richest In crude protein Of all
the seeds used In live stock feeding.
The percentages Of crude protein In
soy beans Is 1875 per cent and every
100 pounds Of soy beans fed yields
1872 pounds Of digestible crude pro-
tein. The soy bean seed Is also rich
In oil, as 1t contains 1911 pounds Of
digestible fat In each 100 pounds Of
soy beans fed. Compared to linseed
oil meal, soy beans contain 20 per
cent more digestible crude protein and
"a per cent more digestible fat.
Soy beans for dairy cattle are slight
ly superior to cottonseed cake. Care
must be exercised In feeding soy
beans to dairy cattle, as excessive
amounts cause soft butter.
Cattle have been successfully fat
tened upon soy beans, and, when COM
pared to cottonseed cake, the soy
beans proved just slightly inferior to
the cottonseed cake.
In swine feeding, the composition
Of soy beans, as given above, should be
carefully considered. The protein con-
tent indicates that 1t can be used as
protein supplement to carbonaceous
grains. Due to its high oil contents
soft pork Is apt to result, If soy beans
are fed to any great extent.
Soy beans should be ground for horses
and cattle, but it is not necessary
in feeding sheep and pigs.-B. W..

II you are one Of the many who be-
lieve that the long, slim, heavy hen
eggs are the ones which hatch out

Can't Determine Sex.
In answer to the continuous stream
Of inquiries pouring into the depart
ment office relative to determining the
sex Of the chick in the shell by the
size, shape, or weight Of the egg, the
department says 1T just isn't being
DONE" That is, not In a practical way,
at least. The scientist Is able to
identify the sex Of a chick in the
shell after seven or eight days Of in
cubation, however.
Because Of the important bearing
on the practical aspects Of the poultry
industry which the ability to select
Matching eggs according to the sex de-
sired would have, If such were pos
sible, number Of investigators have
made studies concerning the sex-ratio
situation in the domestic fowl. Re-
Gently DR.. NJ. A. JUL, poultry husband
man Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, completed some
observations in which he concludes
that there Is no correlation between
the length, shape, or weight Of the
egg and the sex Of the chick Matched
from 1t. He has also made studies
to determine whether or not there Is
a correlation between the weight Of
the egg yolk and the sex Of the chick,
or between the yolk water-content and
sex ratio, with the same negative re-
suit.
Number Of Eggs Counts.
1t has been determined, however,
says Doctor JUL, that the greater the
number Of eggs which hen lays be-
fore being put into the breeding pen,
the larger will be the proportion of
females and the smaller the proper
ton Of males produced by her eggs.
The practical poultryman may be able
to take advantage of this fact to some
extent by making his selection Of eggs
for Matching with reference to the
hens period of production.
