Advanced Registry Now
Favored for Hog Raiser

A register of production for hogs is
again being advocated. This tirue by
81. G. Brant of the swine department
at the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture. Sows, raising filters to weigh
ton at six months, should be re-
corded by their various breeds asso-
Citations in his opinion.
Brant declares that this would be
a definite means Of singing out high
producing strains, just as do the ad-
vanced registry associations of the
dairy breeds. As step In this direc-
ton he cited Indiana, which has
adopted the practice of issuing a GER
tificate for each sow in the state
which raises ton litter. If the breed
associations adopt a similar system
great benefit will result to the in
dustry by bringing to limelight the
families among the different breeds
that are heavy producers of pork.

Poultry Diseases Cause
Heavy Losses to Farmer

Heavy losses of poultry are being
caused by form of cold known as
bronchitis or cold in the windpipe.
ID. @. Kennard, associate in animal
industry, Ohio experiment station, who
is receiving numerous reports of re-
duced egg production and losses from
disease, attributes these losses largely
to closing the poultry houses too tight
and to overcrowding.
In bronchitis, apparently healthy
birds die suddenly from strangulation
caused by a thick mucus which fills
the windpipe. This can be detected
by opening the trachea, or windpipe
from end to end with pair of small
scissors
The disorder responds to preventive
measures better than to treatment.
Prompt relief may result from admit
ting an abundance of fresh air with
out drafts, providing ample floor and
roost space, and replacing old litter
with fresh, clean material EPSON
salts may be given to aid birds in
overcoming the disease.

In Philadelphia Public Ledger.
One of the greatest drawbacks In
the average crystal receiver is the
lack of sefectivity. To separate sue
cessfully broadcasting stations when
several local stations are on the air
is an absolute necessity if good uni
form reception is to be obtained.
The set here described is one de-
signed to meet the above require
ments. The selectivity is quite good
and testing this set in the heart of
the city the writer was able easily to
separate the Philadelphia stations and
also TO receive programs from WIZ,
when that station was broadcasting
through 2XAR, its 50-kilowatt station
at Bound Brook.
The detector circuit here shown will
be familiar to the old operators who
regarded it as one of the most reli-
able in fixed type and is shown in
the circuit diagram. 1t may be used
in the usual type of circuit, which
does not require battery, but detec-
tor sensitivity is materially increased
by the use of an applied voltage that
can be regulated to a fine degree.
This is regulated in the set here de-
scribed by a potentiometer.
The adjustment Of this detector Is
fixed by the manufacturers and re-
mains permanent. The crystal here
used is of the carborundum type and
the contact pressure is quite heavy.
The Parts Needed.
The parts used to construct the set
here described are as followes:
One fixed carborundum detector.
One aero-coil coupler.
One variable condenser .OOO35 mid.

One fixed condenser, .OO1 mid. ca
pacity.
One potentiometer, 200 ohms.
One single-circuit jack.
-Four engraved binding posts marked
as follow:
Ant. Gnd., A., Al,
One panel, by 10 inches.
One wooden sub-base, by inches.
One 4inch dial
Two lengths of No. IA bus wire.
One dry-cell, one and half volts.
The coupler used is of the single
layer solenoid type of the air-core va
riety and consists of two windings.
The outside coil is the secondary, is
three inches in diameter and consists
of 81 turns of No. % double cotton
covered wire. The primary is wound
inside of the secondary and near ono
end. 1t consists of seven turns of the

advantage of this amplifier is that it
takes more ''B" battery voltage, up
to 135 volts, as against 80 volts re-
CURED for other types.
AS you can see by the circuit dIa-
gram shown, it consists principally of
a series of resistances. The condensers
used vary from 0O6 to .O5. The best
capacity will be found only by expert
ment However, in most cases .OO6
is correct. If you are using dry cell
tubes, you will have to vary the resis-
tors which make up the secondary I'M
til you find those that give the best
results.

How to Tell Values of
Different Grid Leaks

A suitable set of values for a grid
leak would be one megohm, two meg
ohms, three megohms, five megohms
and seven megohms. A means may be
provided for bringing these values in
action which may be secured by wir-
ing a tap switch so that it may be
used to switch any one of a number
of grid leaks into the circuit. This
will provide definite, positive value
of grid resistance to suit the require
ments of various groups of stations, ac-
cording to their distance and power.

Considerable Quantity
of Scrapple Often Made

On farms, when hogs are killed, 1t
is frequently the custom to make use
of the heads and sometimes the
hearts, by combining them with corn
meal to make scrapple. A consider
able quantity is generally made up at
once, and as the farm household is
often large In number, and there are
also storage facilities for foods not
Immediately used, this is the most
convenient practice. For small fami-
lies, and those living In cities, with
out good storage space, the amount of
scrapple from even one hog would be
more than could ordinarily be dis
posed of.
Those who enjoy the flavor Of scrap
pie, however, may make 1t with lean
pork, using pieces which include some
bone to help "jelly" the loaf. They
may thus have scrapple in any desired
quantity. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture gives the follow
ing proportions and directions for
making it:
SSTdPptc.
pounds lean pork. part meat and
part bone.
cupfuls corn meal
2 teaspoonfuls salt.
/ teaspoonful powdered sage.
Water.
Pigs feet may be used for part OF
the meat. Cook the pork in the water
until the meat can be removed easily
from the bone. Remove the meat, cool
the broth, and remove the fat. Re
duce the broth to about two quarts or
add water enough to bring it up to
this amount, and cook the corn meal
in it. Add the meat finely chopped and
the seasonings. Pack In enamelware
bread tins or other suitable molds. Cut
into slices and fry when cold and firm
Beef may be used in the same way.

Silage for Live Stock

1t should be the aim of every stock
farmer to provide his animals with all
the silage they can consume during
the winter months; and IL he be short
on pasture he will find 1t economical
to provide silage for both winter and
summer feeding. Every test made by
experiment stations or stock keepers
has proved that silage is the most
economical way to feed corn. Why,
then, should we lose vast amounts of

Fresh Ground for Chicks

Did you ever keep chicks in small
run, and after they were eight or ten
weeks old notice that they begin to
droop their wings and make slow
growth? If you had plowed or spaded
the run it would have helped. When
chicks have only small range they
soon contaminate the soil. No other
cause does more to promote tubercu-
losis among fowls than growing chicks
on the same ground, year after year.
Many cases of gapes may also be
traced to this cause.

Psychology Which Puts

Notv a MOmentous Issue
(By Dispatch A, T. wirel


BALTIMORE, May 30.-The college
nsvcholoe,y which challenges spiritual
beliefs is termed a "momentous is
sue" in the 1O7th annual report OF
the Presbyterian Board of Christian
Education. This report, with several
others dealing with education ana
the church, will be presented to the
general assembly, in session, mere
tomorrow.
Pronouncing the question far more
alarming than the issue involved IN
present theological debate,' the re
port says:
IF this extreme mechanistic psy-
chology should finally dominate the
field of, education and shape the
theories and ideals of our teaching
profession, it is not saying too much
to affirm that it will rob the next
generation of God, eliminate from life
all spiritual ideals and reduce moral
itv to mere mechanical reactions under
certain nerve stimuli or the pres
sure of habits inculcated for the sake
of social well-being."
DR.. William Chalmers Covert, of
Philadelphia, who prepared the re-
port, further stated that the rise of
state controlled education had made
more obvious than. ever the need OF
the college where the Christian at
mosphere, the Bible teaching and the
normal activities of the Christian re-
sligion are expected"
Dr. Covert in the report, asserts
that deaths have. exceeded ordinations
in the Presbyterian ministry in the
past five, years, and that there is but
one candidate for the ministry for
every 1889 communicates.
