Proceeds t of the mill and 8 half levy
authorised by the voters of Montana
In 1920 for use of the state's higher
educational Institutions, Is reserved en

Costs of the extension service and ex

proportion of the levy.
So long as expenditure* of the teach

These decisions were made hy the

In Radio World.
The most that can be accomplished
on three tube*, in volume and DX.
by the use of the three-circuit tuner,
followed by two transformer stages
ludlo. There are many variations
the fundamental design of the detec
tor part and there are-respective ad
vantages in each. The set shown
herewith has the following main fea
tures :
(1) A variable resistor controls re
generation.
(2) A variable resistor controls vol
ume on the audio side.
Smooth regeneration control is ob
tained by using a fixed tickler with
the variable resistor In parallel or, as
in this case, In series with tbe plate
soil.
The tickler, placed In Inductive re
lation to the grid of the tube, pro
duces feed-back, which makes the tube
oscillate when the resistance Is not
high enough to prevent that
One terminal of the variable resistor
RJT should go w the plate and the
other to the coll. Now as we vary
the resistance of this, we can Increase
or decrease the effective Inductive
value of the tickler.
Wiring the Set.
On the tuner, used In the detector
circuit, there are six posts, each one
of which is numbered. Post 1 goes to
the antenna clip on the terminal strip.
Post 2 goes to the ground clip, j^ost 3
goes to one terminal of the grid con
Jenser and to the grid leak R. The other
terminal of this combination goes to
he O post of socket 1. Post 8 also goes
to the stationary plates of the only
variable condenser, Cl. Post 4 goes
the rotary plates of this same con
denser, and to the F-f post of socket

Radio Communication
Those who have a longing to know
the code used in radio communication
will flhd the circuit shown in Figures

The system is especially applicable to
radio clubs, school classes, and other
organisations desiring a means for
group practice.

switch, a key and pair of phones per
person, and the necessary batteries.
By arranging the parts as shown in
Figure 2 the circuit may be controlled
by any one of the keys.
Only the keys, buzzer, coll, binding
poets, etc., need be mounted on the
top of the operating table while all
the wiring Is made on the under side.

It 'is possible to maintain intercom

By putting tbe buzzer in a continu

Or Body Interference
It la very annoying to tune In a dis
tant station then find that as soon as
your band leaves the dial, the station
has disappeared. Thl* effect 1* known |
as "body or hand capacity."
We tune In a station by Increasing
or decreasing the capacity of the tun
ing condensers, so lowering or raising
the wave length to which It Is tuned.
The condenser has two sets of plates,
the rotor and stator plates.
j;ou are seated at your set, your body I
Is earthed and ns your hand ap
proaches the condenser dial It has the I
same effect as If you were to add
another plate or two to the condenser.
Hand capacity Is usually bad in re
ceivers of the regenerative type and
not only makes tuning difficult but
also starts the set oscillating very
easily. The best thing to try first
Is to make sure that the rotor plates
are connected to earth. The shaft
which Is attached to the rotor plates
comes through the panel and Is at
the same potential as the hand,
that there Is then no capacity effect
between the hand and the shaft of the
condenser.
How to Solve Problem
When
so
If this does not cure the trouble,
then the condenser must be shielded.
This can be done either with tinfoil
or a sheet of thin copper or brass
placed between the panel and the con
denser. Cut away the shield so that
no part of the stator plates comes In
contact with It, but connect the rotor
plates or ground wire to the shield.
Dust in Seta
Cause
of Loss in Efficiency
Dust in radio seta la often the cause
of a large loss In efficiency. This Is
especially true In wet weather, when
the dust becomes damp, and allows
the feeble radio currents to leak. The
worst places for dust to be allowed to
collect Is about binding posts and
terminal* and between the plates of
rotary variable condensera. It may
be removed from between wires and
around terminals with a small brush,
about two Inches wide. The engineers
In laboratories often use pipe clean
ers, the same as used for cleaning the
stems of ordinary smoking pipes, for
removing dust from between condens
er plates and from other otherwise In
accessible places. It would be good
practice for the set owner to carefully
dust his set In this way, as often as
once a month.

will be held at Butte March 11-13.
At that time Montana farmers will
present their extra select eggs to the
Butte consuming public for compari

other states. The purpose of the
show Is to build up the home markets
for Montana products. At the present
time many of the eggs used In the
larger consuming centers of the state
are Imported. The Montana Extension
Service and the Butte Chamber of
Commerce are sponsoring the show.
Entries must be in by March 4 and ex
hibits must be shipped to arrive in
Butte March 10. To enter an exhibit
It Is simply necessary to write to the
Butte Chamber of Commerce signifying
. the Intention to exhibit, giving name,
address, county and breed of poultry.
A dozen Montana extra select eggs
constitute an exhibit. The county
sending the largest and best exhibit
will be awarded a silver trophy. Big

recently inspected this unique stock
farm. Some of the hair reaches a
length of 39 Indies and this grade,
which Is used as a substitute for
human hair, sells for $32 an ounce.
The goat farm Is situated near the
Big Ox mining projierty. about three
miles northeast of Marys\llle and has
been In operation for several years.
Through cross breeding with prize ani
mals from Australia and Europe he
has developed what Is considered the
greatest Angora strain In the world.
Recently a pair of the animals sold for
$690 and he has refused $1,000 for one
animal. Mr. Mostlda says that the
Western section of Montana Is Ideal
for raising these animals.

The First Annual Lire Stock Day
«rill be held at the Northern Montana

live stock feeding in northern Mon

George Morgan, superintendent of the
station, and Louis Vlnke, live stock In

able at the meeting. The result* qf
other experiments that have been go
ing on for several years,also will be
announced at this time. The-station
has been devoting Its attention to tbe
use of Montana grown feeds for hogs
and cattle. Barley, rye, onta. wheat,
alfalfa, and bine Joint hay In various
combinations have been used In the ex
periments. In the work with rye It
has been found that Montana grown
rye is superior for hog feeding pur
poses to rye grown in other parts of —
the country. Experiments In other
states have shown rye to be an unsat
isfactory feed for hogs except In smalt
quantities and for short periods of
time. In the experiments conducted
In northern Montana rye has been
found to be equal to barley as a hog
feed.

Three carloads of some 750 head of
Iambs were recently shipped out of
Hardin by H. J. Helwich and A. H.
Steele, destined for the Omaha market.
These are the last of about 6.000 head
that were shipped In last fall and di
vided up among a number of Big Horn
valley farmers to be fed during the
winter months. The lambs weighed on
an average of 58 pounds when they
arrived at Hardin October 13. last, and
were charged to the farmers at 11
cents per pound, with the agreement
that when shipped to market the far
mer was to receive 12 cents per pound
for them, f. n. h. Hardin. The lain: «
•hipped by Helwich and Steele made a
very satisfactory gain In weight—a
little better than 22 pounds, which
gives the farmer a good price for the
feed he put Into them.
In the opinion of economists of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture there may be some expansion of
flax acreage this year without danger
of saturating the home market. At th<>
present time the nation requires ap
proximately 40,000,000 bushels of flax
and last year the production in the
United States was approximately 22,
000.000 bushels. It i* pointed out.
however, that Argentina has Just har
vested a bumper flax crop and that
this may affect the world price. It I*
suggested that as long as national pro
duction remains within national re
quirements the domestic producer will
receive the benefit of tariff protection
and when production is greater than
consumption flax will be sold at the
'
world price level.
