E. G. Bennett of Tripoli: says
down in Delaware county last week
we ran against patent devise for
keeping water tanks from freezing.
The basis Of the scheme is to put a
small galvanized tank about eleven
feet underground, with another
small one above the ground with a
wooden shell around the upper tank
and a cover to put on in cold wealth
er. The theory is that as the water
nears freezing in the upper it con-
denses and becomes heavier, settling
into the lower tank, forcing the
water into the upper tank. In
weather &c below zero the farme,
who had bought this outfit said the
water did not even skim over with
ice. The well and windmill are on
higher ground; the water first runs
into big cistern and is piped from
that to the stock tank, float valve
keeping the latter always full.
