Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm
Tor the readers of this paper. Or ac-
count of his wide experience as editor
author and manufacturer, he is, with
out doubt, the highest authority on the
subject. Address all inquiries to Will
liam A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie ave-

For the farm that has few head of
work stock and small bunch of dairy
cows the combination barn, such as
shown in the illustration, makes val
liable unit of the farm building group.
For, by housing the horses and the
cows under the same roof the labor of
caring for them is all performed in
the same building.
The barn shown in the illustration
is rather small, being only 40 feet long
and "a feet wide. Still, there is stall
room for six horses and eight cows
The two stables are separated by Il
driveway, or feed alley through the
building, which gives ready access to
the NOW floor where is stored the
roughage the animals need.
1t will be seen by the floor plan
that the hangers of both the horse
and cow stalls face the feed alley.

| years kit This may take the form
of special circuits. such as the neutro-
dyne or mechanically or manually OPP
Grated controls. The last-named is
popular and usually takes the form of
a variable high resistance rheostat
in series with the plate supply Of
one or more of the radio frequency
tubes. This method has been i'm
proved somewhat in some models OF
the new kits by addition Of a choke
coil and condenser in conjunction with
the rheostat for smoothness and ease
of control.
Individual Complete Units.
Several years ago the first tuned
radio frequency amplifiers were tuned
by varying the coupling of one or more
of the transformer primaries in re-
lation to their secondaries. This con-
troll is coming back this year and
several nationally exploited kits will
contain this circuit.
Another popular system of r. r.
control Is exemplified in many of the
new kits. A now prominent radio
manufacturer conceived the idea of
placing his radio frequency trans
former adjacent to the metal and
plates of the variable condensers. His
theory was that the higher frequencies
would suffer greater losses than those
at a higher wave length and that
fairly uniform ampIification would re-
suit over the entire broadcast band
1t worked and worked well. This
method is today probably the most
popular Of the various oscillation con
trolls mentioned.
Another fve-year-old idea being
used today is that Of the individu-
ally complete unit type of kit. That
is, II is possible TO purchase com

as four In many Of the new kits with

and ease of construction of this sys-

Most Kits Now Complete.
Today nine out of ten kits can
be got complete. with each part care

every other part for best operation
Of the completed receiver. Almost
every kit is accompanied by an ade-
quate instruction booklet. Many of the
manufacturers suggest the wire har-
ness or complete colorcode method Of
wiring. In many instances the cable
is r7inted in color in the booklet
showing just where each wire goes.
The general tendency of the de-
signers of this years kits is thor

Believes That Shadow
Is Conductor of Waves

Describing experiments to test his
theory that shadow is the conductor
of radio waves, Alvin j. Musselman,
ply an arbitrary name for something
that cannot be seen, weighed or meas
ured. On the other hand, it is easy
to visualize darkness. Darkness acts
as the real carrier of radio and other
waves"
ionization does not give satisfac-
tory reason for the difference be-
tween day and night reception, he
said.
In air-mail fields tests at midnight,
under ideal night conditions, radio
set was placed in the searchlight tow
err. Across the field, about 1000 feet
away, government radio operator
sent signals steadily for a half-hour.
At given intervals, a searchlight of
450,0O0000 candle-power was switched
on and trained on TIE antenna Of the
sending station. An audibility meter
ON Musselman's radio set registered
the strength of the signals. When
the light was off, the signals were
strong; when it was on. the signals
were weak.
"Of course 1t must be kept in mind
that the 450000,000 candle-power
searchlight could not anywhere near
Approximate the power of sunlight, but
in very small way was provided
with daytime conditions which en-
abled me to make my first test he
said. Il am satisfied that the. test
bears ous, at last, in part, my theory
that shadow Is the conductor of radio
and other electromagnetic waves

radio receiver construction have shown
no great basic change since the wire

Americans Eat Less Bread

they did 25 years ago, more than 25.-

formerly consumed has been replaced

other reason may be that the finely
