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 condi- 

 tions that caused your losses, and it is to your 

 interest to look into your brooding equipment. 



You will Agree with Us that 



Ifs warm dry floors that cause leg weak- 

 ness; 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 breath- 

 ing warm air, as they do under the old-fash- 

 ioned 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 floor to run on, and there is no hover: 

 the air is not confined; ifs free and contin- 

 ually changing. 



Our Catalog gives an accurate and thorough 



description of the Root Brooders, anl 



will be Sent to you upon request.

Perfect Equipment is THE Secret of Our Success! 



With the experience gained in operating the Largest Poultry Plant in the World, our knowledge 

 -" of the several makes of incubators is greater than the manufacturers'. 



For the sake of economy WE built an incubator 

 giving results never secured hy any other make, and we 

 now offer it to the public. The 



International 



Self-Humidifying 



Incubator 



is responsible for our great success, and will give to the struggling beginner all of 

 profits and none of the losses. Absolutely automatic in every function, unvari 

 temperature, certain moisture from the moment of starting the hatch until 

 nature requires a cessation in order to properly dry the newly-hatched unit of 

 future profit — so thoroughly safe-guarding its entrance into poultrydom as tp 

 guarantee its livability when raised under the very acme of "Foster Mothers,"' 



THE 



INTERNATIONAL 



SANITARY 

 HOVERS 



This Hover makes possible the rearing of the maximum of chicks and the 

 minimum of deaths— 90 to 95% live and thrive and grow. It is the only device 

 that contains the active princwle of the hen, and the ingenuity of man can go 

 no further. 



Our best efforts are centered In the production of Day-Old-Chlcks and Hatching KgRS 

 from matured stock. No pullets' eggs are used except tor table purposes. 



We have just completed our 1911 catalog on incubators and hovers, also our 

 stock catalog on Rancocas Strain BABY CHICKS and HATCHING ECGS. Tou are 

 welcome to either or both of these catalogs.
