Bob Peart, agricultural engineer at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says that an electric de-icer will i^e very little power to keep a hole open in the tank. ° j Location of the waterer will make some difference in power use, Peart says. In one test, a cattle waterer used 103 kilowatt hours of electricity during a winter of use inside the barn, while the same make of waterer used 469 kilowatt hours of power located outside the barn. Other tests have shown no advantage to heating the water above 44 degrees. Hogs havte gained slightly more when theiydrank colder water. You . c&h save electricity if you just keep the water from freezing. It's important to have an electric tank de-icer properljr grounded for safety reasons.

There are two -ways to protect yourself against such a situation. First, always remember that you Cannot possibly know what is on the other side of a hill. Always adjust your speed beforehand, so that whatever may be there, you ean stop in time to avoid hitting it. Second, U you must stop on the highway--and avoid doing it if you possibly can--stop at a spot where traffic approaching from the rear can see you in time to slow down and etop, and pall your car completely off the pavement whenever humanly possible.

These are just some of the unusual uses for cards that are to be found in this colorful booklet Although it contains instructions for such games as Patience Poker, Wild Bridge, Super-Wild Bridge and Memory Bridge. "It's All in the Cards," as the booklet is titled, is ; not a book of rules. It is designed - to remind you of the fun, the relief from care and worry, and the opportunities for family participation that a deck of cards can provide. In a light yet accurate manner, "It's AH in the Cards" traces the history of playing cards and tells you how the early Persians played their favorite card games with slender circular slices of ivory which they had decorated with symbols of the seasons. You learn that faifibus monarchs of the Middle Ages were the models for the earliest face cards. | Another section in the booklet tells you how to play Concentration, an aptly named card game for both children and adults which, surprisingly enough, children usually win. For the lonely adult there's even an un« usual version of solitaire. "It's All in the Cards" talks also about "Card in the Hat," a game that gives you physical rathier than mental exercise. There are chapters devoted to card tricks that don't involve sleightof- hand, new ways to liven up old favorite card games, and suggestions for using worn-out playing cards as decorative accents. You can get this unique booklet simply by sending the Ace of Spades from an. old deck of cards in an envelope with your name and address to Playing Cards. 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y.

Phone 331 SPECIAL DISCOUNT TO COMMITTORS Citrus fruits are plentiful and a good buy right now. Make use of them. , Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes are not only tasty and refreshing, but also an excellent source of vitamin C. Miss Geraldine Acker, foods specialist at the University of Illinois, says your body can store only small amounts of vitamin C, so include some citrus fruit or other vitamin-C-rich foods in your meals every day. To get the most food value from vitamin-C-rich foods, serve them raw. Vitamin Cis «xtran©« ly water-soluble, and «QBSfderafole amounts of it may lost in the water in which foods ftre cooked. And much of it is destroyed when the food is exposed to air for long periods. If you want to retain as mucb vitamin c as possible Miss Acker says to keep orange juice covered untii you are ready to. serve it, and try to prepare grapefruit and other citrus fruit just before eating iL If this presents a problem in the morning rush, put two prepared halves together, wrap and store in the refrigerator. Refrigeration during storage helps to keep vitamin C losses to a minimum.

This is for sure .. • There's never been anything in your car-driving experience like the feel of Buick's new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* -- because there's never been anything like it in a car before. In a modern plane, yes. For this is the principle of variable pitch propellers used on airplanes. Their propeller blades change "pitch" for quick take-off--then change to another "pitch" for better gas mileage in cruising aloft. Now you can do the same thing oiT the ground--in a 195S Buick. Twenty propeller blades are ingen-1 iously engineered into the Dynaflow1 unit. They pivot--one way for a big boost in gas mileage while cruising-- another way for brilliant new performance. You switch the pitch for instantaneous acceleration just by pressing the pedal way down. Then it happens ... A build-up of momentum smooth as oil -- and quick as a split second. Dazzling new response on getaway-- or a spectacular burst of instant safety'surge power when you need it on a highway• It's pure thrill--and a happy surprise in its far better gas mileage in cruising. Yet Variable Pitch Dynaflow costs not a penny more than earlier versions of this wonder drive• How about you trying it? And look into the sizzling new horsepowers, the fresh new styling, the ever-level ride, the eye-opening low prices -- all of which are making the 1955 Buick the hottest seller in all history.
