Radio for Every Home 
For many months we read of the won¬ 
derful wireless telephone, and loused to 
hear the many concerts, lectures, read¬ 
ings aud other entertainments, to say 
nothing of the news items, market re¬ 
ports, etc., which are free to all who are 
prepared to "listen in on the universe.’* 
But the vacuum tube outfits are high 
priced, and the cheap little "crystal sets’’ 
were said by the catalogues and space 
wri'ers to be good for only 10 to 20 miles. . . 
As our nearest station is KSl>. St. Louis page 005, 
Posi-Uixpntch at St. Louis, Mo., about 
(JO miles away, we thought it useless to 
try a crystal set. and as we felt unable to 
invest $50 to $80 in a vacuum tube outfit, 
we had no radio—and, what was worse, 
we couldn't see any good prospects of ac¬ 
quiring one in the near future. But 
came a day when a radio fan visiting at 
our house made an offer to build a crystal 
set for $10 ready to hook up to our aerial, 
and guaranteed to bring in St. Louis sat¬ 
isfactorily. lie was a reliable young fel¬ 
low. ami his offer looked like our chance 
for ft radio, so we took him up. 
We have had the outfit for some weeks 
now, and it has certainly "made good.” 
The evening we received it we tuned it 
in and enjoyed a fine concert given by 
the Sunday school orchestra of the M est- 
miuster Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, 
Mo. Being green hands, we were much 
elatedgb.v our success. The next day we 
were*kcu* informed at hourly intervals 
about th» markets, weather, important 
news items, etc. Aud every day since 
this service has been enjoyed. Each even¬ 
ing there is a concert, singing, a short 
lecture, a church service, au organ re¬ 
cital, or something else worth while. 
Saturday, Clemeuceau, the famous 
"Tiger" of France, lectured at the Odeon 
Theater in St. Louis to a packed house. 
KSD sent bis voice to us as we sat by 
the little radio table at home aud "lis¬ 
tened in." If you couldn’t get a thrill 
out of ibat you must have traveled fur¬ 
ther aud seen and heard more than most 
country folks have. But wo didu r get 
much but a thrill out of that lecture. 
The announcer had warned Us not m ex¬ 
pect too much, as the "Tiger" is 81 years 
old. his voice is far from strong, aud. 
worst of all, he seems to have an aver¬ 
sion for the micropunue. and. instead of 
standing directly in front of it. prefers 
proper tension by two supporting jacks 
constructed as shown in larger cut. and 
plaeed under the housings inside the rear 
wheels, housings resting against, offsets in 
jacks, as shown in small rut. The pul¬ 
leys were used not on account of their 
being the correct dimensions, but because 
they were handy and to be had without 
cost. J. n. r.

I have never seen it used on concrete

Pour the bottom last, and spread with a

An airplane was flying over the Eng¬ 
lish countryside, and the pilot, was indulg¬ 
ing in a little stunting. Absent-mindedly 
he looped the loop, quite forgetting that 
he had on board a parcel containing a 
pair of boots. Naturally they dropped 
out and landed just iu front of an old 
woman in a cottage garden. The package 
burst open, and «ut rolled the boots, much 
to her astonishment. Picking them up. 
she hobbled indoors and called out to her 
husband: "'Ere you are, (large! Them 
boots you ordered 'ave come. What a 
wunnerful thing this wireless is! I 
thought I 'card the buzz of ’em coming

A Deer-tight Fence 
Can you help me with some suggestions 
on the following? We have set out about 
(500 peach trees this past Spring, and as 
we are pretty well back in the country, 
wild deer are damaging them badly. Is 
it practical to try to fence them out. and 
if so, how high must fence be, and of 
what kind of material, etc.? After two 
years I rhink the trees would be so large

KAVSO spray collects in drops on smooth sur- cause mottled colormg of the skin, making the fruit 
faces of buds, twigs, branches, leaves and unsightly and producing spray blemishes. Kayso 
fruit, leaving large unprotected spaces be- spreads the spray in an even film—allows the fruit 
tween. Kayso enables you to cover your trees com- to color fully and reduces arsenical burns, 
pletely with a protecting film of spray, leaving no 
unprotected spaces. 
Kayso keeps spray from washing off — Rains wash 
off the poisons and destroy the efficiency of your 
sprays. Kayso will hold the poisons on your trees 
long after the ordmary spray washes off. 
Kayso makes spraying more economical —Because 
of increased spreading and wetting properties a tank 
of spray containing Kayso will cover more trees than 
ordinary spray. Kayso reduces waste of spray by 
preventing it from collecting in drops and rolling 
off the smooth surfaces of fruit, leaves and bark, 
leaving them unprotected or only partially protected. 
Sawing Wood with a Ford 
I note an inquiry as to the method or 
using the power of a Ford for the sawing 
of wood, aud would like to offer a suc¬

FOR DORMANT SPRAY 
The dormant spray kills by contact. The micro- 
scopic spores of Brown Rot, Scab, Curl Leaf and 
San Jose Scale on the uncovered spaces will grow 
and infect the whole tree. 
Kayso makes the drops, of spray run together, 
spreads the poison into the small crevices where the 
pests seek protection in winter and keeps the poison 
from ’ eadily washing off.
