The Tariff Has not Been the Cause 1
of the. Western Farmers' Troubles
The improvement in hnsiness con-
ditions in the'West recently Inas
denumetrated the sminditess of the!
LiberanConservative party',
c,utten-1
tion that the tariff has not beent he t
cause of the troubles of the prairie'
-farmer in the past. The trouble lay in
the fact that wheat prices were too
low: that i$ they were out of litre
with the prices of other products
generally..
A change ha; suddenly come over
the situation. \\My? Because the
price of wheat has soared. Evers-
fanner.
everyfanner, knows this. Hy also knows
by this time that the talk about
heavy oppre Bion of ;the tariff ba,
been nonsense. Con€rooted by the
fact that the estimated value of this
year's grain crop is ,672,00(1.000the
second Roost valuable crop in the
history of the country, the western
farmer cannot bot be convinced that
the tariff has been pretty much a.
false alarm:
The tariff lies had no more to do
with this greatly improved condition
of things than the Icing Government
has had to do with the price of wheat,
The change has cone about through
t editions over which neither the
Government of this nor any of any
other- country, has tad the slighteet
control. Providence has given our
farmers 3oo,000,0oo bushels of. wheat

and this aiene, huts made the dif-
ference.

that the Liberal, and Progressives in

that has mote ,,ver the western

Treatment for tattle Lice._
All enimai.e should be given a
good grooming with brush and curry

any vermin that may be off guard,.
then apply the following:

Mix the quantities of soap and coal
oil together first, then add the two
qdarts of boiling water, This will
make an emulsion if thoroughly (nix-
ed, to which a gallon of 'warm water
must be added before applying to the
animate, An ordinary stable brush is
a good instrument with vshloh to ap-
. DIY the emulsion. Care should be
taken to saturate the skin over the
entire body. Repeat the treatment
in teu days; another brood will be uP

are three species of lice attacking
cattle, viz: the long -nosed louse, the
ehort-nosed louee, and the •biting
louse. Herds that are regularly
groomed during the winter staffer but
little from lice.
Treatment for horse Lice.
If the weather 19 warm enough so
that it is safe to \vault a horse, the
kerosene emulsion glveu for cattle is
very effective. If the weather is
cold, the animal can be given a good
grooming, and then either sodium
duorlde or pyrethrum powder should
be well busted on the skin, and the
horse blanketed. Raw linseed ol1
can be brushed into the hair quite
easily and with good effect. A good
brush and oil are death to the mites.
Any treatment given should be re-
peated in ten days, since the powers
of multiplication are wonderful.
There are two kinds of lice infesting
the horse, the biting and the
auctorial.
Treatment for Pig Lice,

neeed oil applied .tvitlt a
brusb to all parts of the body is
very effective. The formulae for
kerosene emulsion can also be used
to advantage. An oil rub, always ac-
ceseiblegor the use of swine, evill do
much to keep the vermin down. The
practice of having a machine oilcan
handy at feeding time and giving
each pig a squirt along the baiek once
a week is a good one. It will make
conditions unhealthy for a pig louse.
The pig louse, "Haematopinus suis,”
1s a big one, almost as long as its
name, and can easily be seen.
Do not let the louse rob you of
Your seasou's moths, and do not let
it annoy Your animals. A little soapy
or reuse .material will stop its
breathing for all time. Why not.get
after the louse to-daye---L. Steven-

Soft Bacon.
Experimental work at the Ontario
Agricultural College has proven that
soft bacon comes from pigs that have
been fed heavily during early life on
fattening feeds while enclosed ,in
pens or yards so small as to prevent
proper exercise for the animals
O. A, O. experiutents bane also proven
that pigs grown to 128 pounds
weight on mixed reeds well balanced
with skim, milk (21/2 pounde milk to
1 pound of meal), or tankage up to
10 per cent. in the reeten may be
furnished oa ROM or barley and still
produce a drip, high quality product.
Dairy by-products tend to offset the
trouble arising from lack of exercise,
but both exerciee and skimmilk are
better than either alone. --Dept, of

The Septic 't'a'nk,
It consists of a large concrete tank
divided into two compartments by a
vertical partition. The size for a
single house is about 4 feet x 3 feet
and 1% feet deep. This tank holds
the sewage long enough for a certain
kind of bacteria to destroy the solid
matter, When the liquid acetliuu-

'Watering the Darden.
Remember that a gond soaking
once a week is more beneficial than
light sprinkling daily. Be ,judicious
in your uee of the hose, Leary vege-
tables do not mind having their tops '
soaked, as well as the roots. But
fruit bearing plants and vines, like
tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, pep-
pers and melons should not have the
lops soaked at all: It washes away'
the pollen .in the blossoms' and is
apt to cause blight and fungous
diseases.
Don't water the garden in the heat
of the day. 'Wait until late in the
afternoon and when it has been given
a good soaking it will have time to
soak into the soil to enable you to
rake up the surface easily nest morn-
ing, preventing the soil baking and
conserving the moisture.. nagular
eoakinge for the ever -bearing etraw
berride and other email fruits, fol-
lowed by mulching, will prolong the
-feint bearing season and im:provo the
quality. Too much watering of grape
vines tends to cause an excess, of
cane growth but a reasonable amount
is desirable.
There miglit be an excuse for us-
ing an inferior sow if you already
have Iter on the place,, but we can
not think of one single excuse for
ever`ueing an interior sire.

RADIO NOTES.
The reason for the beginning of a
radio column in this paper is to pro-
vide a detailed account of the build. -
ng of a radio set, and we are sure
that any person who builds a set as
described in this column will be
more than repaid for his work and
expense.
If auy person wishes to ask any
question about radio, and will send
such questions to The Seaforth
Netts, they will be answered through
this column if possible.
.e set that will work and will work
well fur the inexperienced operator
is of the type commonly called the
single circuit. It is also one of the
cheapest sets to construct, the
total cost being from $30 up, depend-
ing on the cost of the apparatus used.
Later we shall detail the method of
making other types of sets, and of
amplification, so that one may be
able to add a loud speaker to his set.
• The parts required and the ap-
proximate cost of each is as follows:

Por drilling the panel„ the best way
to proceed is to draw out the size
of the pastel on apiece of paper a
little larger than the panel.. After
you have tine positions of the various'
instruments marked on this piece of
paper place it on the front of the
panel and put a little' paste on the
edges of it and fold them tender the
panel, so that there is no paste opt

fine drill start all the holes in the'
panel. Then take the paper off and

about 8' From the aground, and placed to any of the a'bove officers addressed

. When making the antennae place it
as high as posei.bie from any tree,
huuse, or other object, for although
the object be below the antennae, it
nevertheless raises the resistance 'of
the antennae. Insulators should be
of glared porcelain or some other
high-grade material, and the fewer
used the better, unless they aro placed

Not much may he said about panels
except that bakelite, celoron, formica
and hard rubber ate Much better
than fibre Fibre and wood will ab-
sorb moisture and cause losses that

panel.
Per the person who desires to get
the hest results from his radia set,
be must have his antennae and ground
sys cot perfect, as
well as using
the
beet low -loss apparatus in his set.
A good autetitae system Maly he had
by using a single wire of -eeven
strands of No, 22 wire i7-221 100 ft,
long, with a good porcelain insulator
at each end. Each endo of the wire
should be at least 3 feet from the
poles or other supports to which it
is attached, •Good composition in-
sulators may also he used in place of
the porcelain ones. Use only 1 at
each end of the wire, H your antennae
supports are placed Ou the roof. put
the an'tcnnae at least seven feet above
the roof. Put the antennae as high
above the ground as possible,
At the end of the antennae wire
nearcet the set, twist a cleaned end of
the No, 14 Militated .lead-in wire, then
solder and tape to *prevent corrosion'
by the action of the elem-nts, The
lead -int should be ,run to a wall
insulater..,Ali lead-in wires should be
kept at least 1 .ft. from the edge of
the roof, l'he lead-in is then ricin in as
direct a dine as possible to the window
nearest to where the set is located.
A. better antennae system may he
used, which is called the 'cage type.'
This shonldl consist of 4 (vires, each
60-$0 ft, long, fastened around wood-
en hoops (Meavy insulated copper (vire
may be used.) Use 3 or 4 of these
hoops, about 20 ft. apart, They should
he about -1 ft, in diameter. Should
aoy;otne desire a detailedi method of
making this antennae, •it with be
furnished upon application 'to this
paner.•.r

:another cause of loss in a receiver
is a variable condenser with a great
deal of insulation. A condenser
should have no more insulation than
is absolutely necessary anal any in-
sulation that is needed should be of
bakelite, celoron, etc., and not of
fibre, asehis will absorb moisture,
In the line of 'rheostats, the carbon
grain or disc type are practically all
good. The common type of rheostat
is that which is wound with resistance
wire. The frame of this type should
be of hard rubber or bakelite. Soft
'compositions are likely to .break when
machine screws are tightened tip in
the mounting -holes and are therefore
to be avoided. The material" on
which the wire is wound- is usually
fibre, and in this position fibre gives
fairly good results. The wire must
be wound tightly. In the Netter
types, the fibre sector is grooved, so
that the wire is held firmly in posi-
tion. This is importadl, 'because if
the tarns touch each other, they he -
come short-circuited and rause
trouble; 'ellen it must be remembered
that when wire becomes hot, as it
does on a rheostat ,when in use, it
expands. Therefore, if the win i;
not held in some manner, the ttu•na
are bound to touch, more sn becnusc
of the action of the contact fever
that tends to force the wires against
each other. The connection be-
tween the end of the resistance wire
and the 'binding post must he solid,
otherwise the heat of the filament
may vary during reception, with con-
sequent annoying noise. Solder this
connection if the manufacturer did
not do so, There is usually a sliding
contact between the connection strip
and the 'contact arm. This should be
as .firm ,as ,possible to avoid iluchna-
tion of current, If 011e wishes to CIO
SO, One may Make-stireof a good
contact here by soldering one end ell
