The Root Inoubator 



is Now Ready for You. 



T^O DOUBT, many poultrymen who have 

 used our brooders and found them so suc- 

 cessful, and others who have noticed our ad- 

 vertisements, have often wondered why we did 

 not offer an incubator. To these and to other 

 poultrymen we wish to make the above an- 

 nouncement. 



Mr. Root, the inventor of the contact- 

 warmth incubators and brooders, realized 

 many years ago that the hot-air conditions 

 under which eggs were hatched and chicks 

 reared were unnatural; and to avoid these un- 

 natural conditions he came to the conclusion 

 that it would be necessary to hatch eggs and 

 rear chicks by warming them by contact with 

 a warm body. 



With this method it is possible to hatch eggs 

 without adding moisture, because the air 

 that gets to the eggs has not been burnt or 



baked in passing through heating-drums, etc. 



The Root Incubator will hatch duck-eggs 

 as well as chicken-eggs under the same condi- 

 tions, without adding moisture or changing the 

 ^entilation. This is proof that it is built on 

 the right principle, because a hen will hatch 

 duck-eggs quite as well as her own. 



We have prepared a pamphlet under the head- 

 ing of "Artificial Incubation and Brood- 

 ing," which every poultryman should read, 

 as it dwells upon some phases of this ait never 

 before dwelt upon. 

 We will send a copy of thisarticlefree toany onesend- 

 ing us his name and address, and men tioningGLEAN IN GS.
