Bulletin 246. 



11. Keep the gasoline supply underground or in a shady location 

 to prevent loss by evaporation. 



12. It is well to keep a few pieces of asbestos wicking for repacking 

 the burner if occasion should demand it. (Fig. 68.) 



13. To avoid delay, it is well to have an extra burner on hand to 

 replace one which may fail to work properly. 



14. While there is less danger from fire with gasoline when used as 

 here recommended, nevertheless, it is well to be prepared for fire by 

 having a fire extinguisher or water supply at hand in case of need. It 

 will be a wise precaution and profitable investment, whatever system of 

 brooding is employed. 



15. When the chickens no longer need heat, empty the supply tank, 

 remove the heater and store in a dry place to avoid rusting.
