Elijah Mantle Passes to Worthy Successors
The saying Elijah’s mantle marks successors. It contrasts Ish the Younger inheriting from his father the earl of Chatham with Richard Cromwell failing to wear Oliver’s mantle. The Biblical tale shows Elijah’s cloak falling, Elisha picking it up, and the waters parting as proof the spirit rests on him.

Newgate Prison Echoes Through London’s Turbulent History
The historic Newgate Prison in London stood by the Holbert viaduct, dating to 1218. It was damaged in the Gordon riot of 1760, burned in 1806, rebuilt, and finally pulled down in 1802 to make way for the Central Criminal Court in the area.

Radio Reception Progress Shifts From Phonographs to Artistry
KNUTE PETERSEN reports on radio's rise in quality from mechanical performers to first rank artists at the microphone. Improvements span transmitting and receiving gear, modulation accuracy, and user friendly tuning. Phonograph competition spurred advance, yet many receivers still distort or lack fidelity, limiting true classical music reproduction.

Constants of Wave Meter Should Not Change in Use
Col. K. K. Edgeworth describes a circuit to keep wave meter constants stable when tubes burn out or vary in capacity. A tickler coil and B battery feed the grid through a partial inductance, keeping tube capacity effectively in shunt with only part of the turns. This arrangement minimizes wavelength shifts and maintains accuracy across the instrument’s range.

Parallel versus series speaker connections described
The text explains parallel series wiring for loudspeakers. In parallel, energy is shared and the full volume can drive all speakers. In series, the output passes from one speaker to the next, chaining tips to set, illustrating how the signal moves through a string of speakers.
Summer dairy losses slowest in heat and feed shortfalls
Dairy extension specialists from Ohio State University warn that summer milk losses are among the year’s heaviest. Cows need more roughage and supplemental feed when pasture alone isn’t enough. Summer silage, grass hay, or controlled grazing help maintain steady production and reduce heat stress costs.

Profitable to Maintain High Fall Milk Production
The article warns against a fall production slump in dairy herds as cows drop milk flow during corn shucking. It recommends sweet clover pasture or silage as fall feeds, or increasing concentrates and roughage if pasture is unavailable. Avoid pasturing high producers on carnatalka and focus on young stock and dry cows for efficient feed use.
Legume Hays Important in Feeding Dairy Cows
Legumes are essential for dairy cow feeding due to protein calcium and vitamins they provide. Most other roughages lack these nutrients. Soybeans may be needed to offset labor shortages. If weather prevents hay, legumes can be silaged with corn to boost silage value. Planning legumes helps lower production costs and profits.
Dairy Notes and Feeding Tips from 1927
Dairy notes emphasize pasture and grain feeding for calves, with two pounds of grain daily for yearlings on pasture. Breeders who improve efficiency benefit the public and themselves, as Omaha reports a 3.2 percent legal butterfat standard, with 35 percent average in Marcel 1927. Proper pre-calving sanitation and clean stalls reduce butterfat losses, and a well-run separator saves money.
