GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mar. 1 



The Root Convertible Brooder 



Is used indoors with the sash, and outdoors with the galvanized covered doors. 



HAVE YOU LOST ANY YOUNG CHICKS 



Because of leg weakness ? 



Because of sour crop and bowel trouble ? 



Because the chicks pile up and smother each other ? 



There must have been unnatural conditions that caused your losses, and it is 

 to your interest to look into your brooding equipment. 



YOU WILL AGREE WITH US THAT 



It's warm dry lioors that causes leg weakness; the chicks feet dry up. With 

 the mother hen the chicks would be running on cool, moist earth, and their feet 

 would be cold, but strong and stocky. 



You will also agree that the chicks breathing warm air, as they do under the 

 old-fashioned hovers, is what causes sour crops and bowel trouble. 



These unnatural conditions do not exist in the Root Brooders, as there the chicks 

 have a cool Hoor to run on, and there is no hover; the air is not confined; it's free 

 and continually changing. 



Our 1908 Catalog gives an accurate and thorough description of the Root Brooders, and will be sent 



to you upon request.
