METAL INCUBATORS AND BROODERS 



The demand for a practical, simple and inexpensive hatcher and a closer study of the 

 principles underlying the natural process of incubation has enabled us, after twenty years 

 of practical experience in incubating and brooding, to place on the market the Cycle 

 Hatcher, which has been thoroughly tested out during the past five years and which we 

 believe more closely follows natural methods than any other form of incubator heretofore 

 produced. 



All the necessary essentials are provided ; a warm nest, a cover to take the place of the 

 hen and the means of supplying a sufficient quantity of fresh air, at the same time retaining 

 the natural moisture contained in the egg and preventing its escape. The heater being 

 circular in shape, with the lamp directly in the center, insures an even distribution of heated 

 air in all parts of the machine, with no corners for dead air spaces. 



Eggs to hatch well must be newly laid, and where the number produced is small, they 

 will not be as fresh when several hundred or more are placed in one incubator as when set 

 more often in separate machines. We make only one size machine, holding fifty eggs, and 

 for large hatches the required number of machines are used. By having the eggs in smaller 

 units they can be more easily controlled and there is never the danger of having the entire 

 hatch ruined. 



The advantages of a small machine are many, as practical poultry keepers will readily 

 appreciate by a careful consideration of the requirements for sucessful incubation.

THE PHILO SYSTEM 



of progressive poultry keeping is unlike all other ways of raising poultry, and in many re- 

 spects it is just the reverse, accomplishing things that have always been considered impossible 

 and getting results that are hard to believe without seeing. 



This system covers every detail of poultry work from selecting the breeders to marketing 

 the product. It tells how to get eggs that will hatch, how to hatch nearly every egg laid 

 and how to raise nearly all the chicks hatched. It gives complete plans in detail how to 

 make all appliances necessary to run the business at less cost than is required to handle 

 poultry successfully in any other manner. There is nothing complicated about the work and 

 any man or woman who can handle a hammer can construct the apparatus. 



Two-pound broilers are raised in a space less than a square foot to a broiler and the 

 broilers are of the very best quality, usually bringing from three to five cents above the 

 highest market price. Six-months-old pullets lay in a space of two square feet for each bird 

 and breeding pens are allowed three square feet for each fowl. No green cut bone is fed 

 and the food used is inexpensive compared with prepared foods others are using. 



The latest edition of the Philo System Book gives full particulars regarding this method 

 of poultry raising in a simple, easy-to-understand manner with full directions that are right 

 to the point and has fifteen pages of illustrations showing all branches of the work from 

 start to finish.
