Another way to prevent water from freezing is simply to
let it run continuously, as this poultry producer is doing.
For best results with poultry, water shouldn't be too cold
and drain should handle all surplus water without back
ing up. Use of a wire base around waterer is one of the
best ways to keep litter dry and prevent any mess.
Cut operating costs of an automatic heated fountain by
locating it in a sheltered area if possible. When buying,
get the smallest size that will provide ample water at all
times without excessive crowding. Another way to cut
electrical costs is to insulate the waterer and place covers
over any unused outlets of cattle waterers. Adjust the
thermostat or buy a waterer which has a thermostat set
at 45 degrees. In one test, setting the thermostat at 45
degrees saved more than 100 kwh of electricity during
the winter, compared to a setting of 60 degrees.
"On this farm we use
nothing but Firestones!"
Robert Brandt, Carlock, Illinois, says, “I drove raring cars before going
into farming. Used nothing but Firestones then, and it’s the same now. I’ve
got them on both my trucks and on my tractors and passenger cars, too. On
this farm, that means handling every kind of driving. They’re to|M—and
that goes for service from Ilerm Polser, my dealer in Bloomington.
