that they are of first 

 importance, for more 

 hatches are ruined by 

 ill-ventilated incubators 

 than from any other 

 cause. 



The questions of mois- 

 ture and ventilation are 

 so intimately connect- 

 ed, that they are prac- 

 tically one, and by suc- 

 cessfully solving one in 

 the Eeliable, we have 

 solved both. 



An examination of the 

 sectional view on page 

 1,', will show the ample 

 provisions we have 

 made for a rapid circu- 

 lation of pure, fresh air 

 throughout the egg 

 chamber.. The cold air 

 is taken into the incu- 

 bator at L, where it 

 comes into contact with 

 the heat flue M, and

MOISTUBE AND VENTILATION. 



Next in. importance to the proper heating of the egg 

 chamber and the proper regulation of this heat, comes tha 

 question of moisture and ventilation. Indeed, we must sa'y

 Sectional View of Incubator. 



is thoroughly heated before entering the chamber. At 

 different points about the egg chamber, vents are provided, 

 through which the air escapes. This ventilation is neces- 

 sary, because of the constant discharge of carbonic acid 

 gases given ofE by the egg in the process of incubation. 

 This obnoxious, poisonous gas must be removed and replaced 

 by fresh, pure air, with its life-giving oxygen, or the chick 

 is poisoned and suffocated in the shell. 



To a failure to provide for this extremely necessary- 

 circulation of pure air may be attributed the failure of so 

 many of the poorly constructed machines now offered the 

 public. ; 



The Eeliable has accomplished perfect ventilation by 

 providing for a constant circulation of air through the ma- 

 chine (all heated to the proper temperature before entering 

 the egg chamber) ; and to the rapidity of the movement of 

 this air is due largely the success of the hatch, and almost 

 entirely the drying process of the moisture in the egg. By 

 the aid of the most powerful, sensitive and accurate of in- 

 ctruments, and with the assistance of the most expert author- 

 ities in the world, we have found just what is required and 

 just how to secure that requirement positively, practically 

 and simply. 



So perfectljf is all this provided for, that no artificial 

 moisture is required, and the machine will take care of itself 

 in this regard, as' the moisture is provided in the Eeliable in 

 exactly the same manner as it is provided by the hen. The 

 cold air, coming into contact with the heated body, gives off 

 sufficient moisture for almost every hatch. Consequently, 

 you do not require moisture pans with the Eeliable. 



Our moisture is thus supplied. The cold air passes in at 

 N, up around the inner heater M, and is heated. It, then, 

 passes through the tubing marked ' ' Fresh Hot Air Supply, ' ' 

 and is emptied out in and above the hot water tank in the 

 hot water machine, and above the hot air tank in the hot air 

 machine. Then, it must pass down, over on each side of this 

 tank, and pass through D, which is the hanging or perforated 

 wall. The cold air passes up, through JJ, then passes through 

 the double perforated, removable bottom; the warm air from 

 the top and the cold air, coming in contact *ith each other, 

 causes a sweat, and rarifles the air. The moisture from this
