TO FARMERS WHO UNDERSTAND
THE GREAT VALUE
OFGOVERNMENT IRRIGATED LANDS
Watch for the expected announcement this Autumn of the
opening by the Government of its new 12,000 acre Frannie tract
in the Big Horn Basin. 200 reliably irrigated farms. No
agents. No commissions. Direct to you from Uncle Sam,
free homestead land and actual cost of perpetual water-right
20 years’ time, no interest and no payment between the first
and fifth year.
If you want to know the future value of these farms, visit
the adjacent locality of Powell, Wyoming, in the heart of 40,000
acres of irrigated land under this same Government Canal.
The Government has now on file more applications than it has
farms to allot, but we believe it our duty to let you know of
I this chance.
Write me and I will keep your name on file, to
inform you as to the date of this opening.

COLD WEATHER HINTS FOR AL
TOISTS.
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.
