PASS Oro240owar.eaew FILLING THE STORAGE BATTERY By R. M. Sherrill (Radio . Engineer) Everyone has probably experienced the inconvenience and trouble which •are met with when adding water to 'the storage. battery. The filling well is usually located in the center of the cell, and in such a position that the water must be poured in from a con- :siderabie distance above. Thus some -water is usually spilled on the top of 'the battery, and on account .of- the ;posts and bus -bars, it is difficult to -wipe this water off. And, when it comes to filling the numerous cells of 'the storage B battery, these troubles -are, of course, ,much worse. A very simple way of eliminating most of this inconvenience' is to place the bottle _containing the distilled wa- ter on a shelf, which is a foot or more above the battery. Place one end of a 30 inch rubber tube inside the jar of distilled water at the bot- tom, and let the other -end hang down to the level of the battery. A siphon may be s'tarted by suck- ing on the lower end of the tube un- til the water starts to flow. Once this has been clone, the flow of water may be stopped by kinking the tub- ing and by holding it in that position with a._spring "clothespin or a similar clamping arrangement. • When ready to use, squeeze. shut the end of the tubing. with the finger r.. r 17 21. ill t �I V` n 920 30 :..,.• JW1 • 2.6 27 ill t �I V` 29 30 :..,.• t' ' CROSS WORD PUZZLE NO. x8 Horizontal 7, Frightens. 9.

German Protest Against Use Of Reflex Patents Although the .German Embassy at !Washington has protested against the use that is being made of the Von Bronk Reflex Patents, the Navy De- partment is continuing to issue licen- ses to manufacture under them.

It is rumored that over 15o appli- I cations for permits to manufacture !under these patents have been reeeiv- led by the Navy Department, and that up to the present time, but few Per- mits have been granted.

VENTILATION FRESH AIR Is MORE BSSENTTI TO LIFE THAN VERO. 1'wo Systems of Ventilation.: The King and the Rutherford -- Too Much Aim Space a Mistake „ The Control of Potato Insects. (Contributed by Ontario Department-ot Agriculture, Toronto.) The question of stable ventilation comes up every" year when new sta- bles are being erected. it seems quite Important then; provision may or may not be made to give the animals the required pure air. Many neglect it entirely, saying, "What's the use, the cold air will find a way ln.'' Sometimes it does, and sometimes it does not, and animals may be com- pelled to live in an atmosphere that Is destructive. Fresh air is the cheapest thing we have. Yes, so cheap that it is not appreciated' by many people keeping live stock. Yet these same people will pay out good money fox service rind drugs to correct conditions .that fresh air would have prevented. rwo' Systems of Ventilation. We have two recognized systems of stable ventilation, the King and the Rutherford. In the Rutherford sys- tem fresh air inlets are placed at door and foul air outlets are placed s.t ceiling. 'In the King system the inlets are at the ceiling and the out-' lets one foot above door level. In :he Ontario climate there is very little difference in the results given by these systems. Both work well when Properly operated, and like every- thing else in stable equipment must hale attention from the man in. charge of the stable. Beef cattle, sheep and horses live and thrive best In a stable' where the temperature is kept below 50°. Dairy cattle and swine require a temperature 50° to 60° with a humidity of 75 degrees or less. If the humidity runs over 75 degrees, the walls and ceiling will drip with moisture or coat with frost. A condition not to be desired. Too Much Air Space a Mistake. A common mistake made is too .much air space per animal. The warming of the stable is dependent upon the heat radiated from the animal body, In modern stables and under winter conditions it has been found that 700 or 800 cubic feet of air space, is all the stable space that a 1,000 -pound animal should be ex- pected to warm up, • Wide passage ways and high ceilings while very desirable features for nine months or the year, present a problem in ven- tilation during the three cold winter months. Its only solution is artificial heat. With proper window and door arrangement and careful attention on the part of the stable roan the air can be kept reasonably dry and pure for only' part of the ;-ear. Add a ventilating systemand you can meet the changing atmospheric conditions from hour to hour with 'little labor and much satisfaction, shown . in the thrift of the stock. If you are re- modelling the old stable or building a new one, give ventilation full con- sideration, put in a system, put ir lots of glass, hinge the windows tc open -inward from the top, and don't forget the Dutch doors. -Dept. o: Extensions 0.
