If a water-cooled engine is not car fully guarded in cold weather and tl. > water is allowed to freeze in at: part of the system, pipes or radiate: will break or a water jacket will crack, according to the agricultural enginee. ing department of the college of agri culture, Lincoln. When leaving the car for the nigh: or for a Ion* time during the day, the safest plan is to drain the water out of all parts of the system. The en gine may then be allowed to run for a few minutes to make sure that all the water has been removed. If the car is used a great deal in cold weather, it may be advisable to use a non-frei : ing solution. A mixture of denatur <1 alcohol and water has proved good for this purpose. A mixture containing 20 per cent of alcohol will freeze a: 10 degrees above zero; a 30 per cen: solution will freeze at 5 below; a 41 per cent solution at 20 below; and 50 per cent solution at 35 below.
