?Tbe wtove dealer, who told you
that the way to prevent explosions
lu time of a freeze was to empty
the hot watep. tank. is yefy much
mistaken. This 1m the most danger
oiih thing to do and should never
he done. K'xploblonn Ocsur in the
water hack, not the tank, and are
due to the freezing of the connect
ing pi pen between the hack and the
tank.
"The only safe way, especially lu
those homes where cold suppers are
eaten; Is to build a fire In the
stove about sun-down, replenishing
it at bed time with a good sized
lump of coal. This is a sure pre
ventive of explosion. Now to pro
tect the pipes and save plumbers
bills at the first approach of cold
weather, draw your bath tub full of
water, from which to flush the clos
ets, using a two gallon bucket, cut
off at stopping waste and drain all
pipes by opening up the house. Do
i c > turn on ag.?i' < uring treen> ?:
weather, from the yard hydrant for
drinking and cooking purposes. If
the cold weather continued Ion
enough to exhaust the supply of wa
ter in the bath tub turn on long
enough to replenish it, then cut off
and drain pipes as before.
"Don't be alarmed if at times you
hot water tank makes a roaring,
rumbling noise and even rocks on
Its stand as this Is only the water
boiling and Is not dangerous, any
steam that might be generated will
escape at the hot water faucets that
are open. A great many people
make the mistake of turning on the
water s7>on In 1KB Tmmring-while the
pipes are cold and freeze very quick*
ly." ? i> ?

These prizes have been awarded
on the basis of the actual cos? of
production add the closeness with
which the DemonBtration ' methods
were followed. That is, whether
the demonstrator made the corn by
business farming or whetfier "he
took advantage of some natural
condition, such as swamp or bot
tom land, thd besit aore on the farm,
etc. Of course the crop has al
ways been produced cheapest when
the ' Demonstration methods have
been followed the closest. Those
who obtained the greatest yields at
the least cosit have been the win
ners.
The object of the work has been
and ? la, ? not to . produce any freak
farming, but to raise the poorer
farmers up to the present average,
and rals6 the average higher.
The following contributed to a
Farmers' Conference held in the
interest of the Demonstration work
in February, 1911: Rev. R. A.
Cottingham, 25c; Rev. J. C. Burch,
26c; Zach Lewis, 26c; Wm. Atkins,

Hart, 25c.
Again thanking those who have
helped forwajfd this movement for
better farming, and hoping for a
continuation of their interest, I
am, Very truly yours,
