SUCCESS WITH POULTRY 



rarified air naturally settles upop* the eggs, whieh forms a 

 moisture ivithout any artificial moisture whatever. 



The old hen does not ask for a pan of water, neither do 

 our machines. Some machines have been operated with mois- 

 ture pans successfully, but they are exceptional cases, and 

 not likely' to happen again, for even the manufacturer using 

 them is not able to tell you just how they should be used. 



EEMABIiE INCXJBATOR AND BEOODER COMBINED. 



ed 103 degrees. IT IS SIMPLE, PRACTICAL AND ECO 

 jS'OMICAL. The heat thus furnished is top heat. The regu- 

 lator bar is inclosed with metal, so the chicks in the brooder 

 cannot interfere with or displace it, and the tubing is so 

 arranged that neither fumes from the lamp nor gases from 

 the hatching chamber can find their way into the brooder. 

 A vent is located in the top of the brooder tank so as to 

 create sufficient draft to cause the heat to pass- up into this 

 reservoir. 



These are, of course, not adapted to operation in a cellar 

 or a sunless room — for that matter such a place is not fit to 

 raise chicks, either with a hen or in a brooder, and if an 

 incubator is to be operate^ in the cellar, or a room where 

 where is not plenty of light, 

 then the plain machine, with- 

 out top brooder, should be 

 used; but if the room in 

 which the incubator is to be 

 run is well lighted, like a 

 south, southeast or southwesti 

 room in a dwelling, or a good 

 poultry house, or stable, then 

 the combined machine is prac- 

 tical and economical. With 

 this machine there is unques- 

 tionably a great saving of 

 time, labor and expense in op- 

 erating. The incuabtor and 

 the ch'ick can be attended to 

 at the same time, and one 

 lamp operates both machines. 

 An essential point in poul- 

 try raising, especially, early in 

 the seaso'n, is to get the young 

 birds well started on the 

 road to health at the time 

 they leave the' shell. With out 



nursery attached to the hatcher the little chicks, during the 

 most delicate and tender period of their lives, are nicely 

 sheltered and made comfortable. By an improved arrange- 

 ment our combined Incubators and Brooders utilize practical- 

 ly all of the heat that is generated by the lamp, wasting none. 

 Heat is supplied to this top brooder directly from the 

 lamp, not from egg chamber. In this combined machine we 

 have simply built a brooder on top of a plain style machine, 

 and by placing a large tube over the escape vent, which tube 

 connects at its upper end with a tank, we have provided a 

 reservoir to receive and hold, for the purpose of warming 

 the brooder, every bit of heat that is thrown off by the regu- 

 lator after the- temperature inside the egg chamber has reach- 



EELIABLE OUTDOOR BROODEEiS. 



Hot Air and Hot Water. (See Illustration.) 

 We cla'im that our Reliable Hot-Water and Hot-Air Out- 

 door Broders combine more good points than any other make 

 of outdoor brooders thus far invented, and we leave the decis- ■ 

 ion to the reader's unbiased. judgment. A practical and dura- 

 ble outdoor brooder has long been needed, and several at- 

 tempts to produce one had resulted in failure, until we intro- 

 diw^ed this style of brooder, which proved a success from the 

 first. We manufacture these brooders in four sizes, a 50- 

 chiek, a lOO-obiek, a 200-oh;ick and a 300-c'hick size. They are 

 manufactured in two styles, one being heated by hot water, 

 the other by hot air. A brief description of these brooders 

 will suffice, we think to recommend them to the judgment of 

 experienced poultrymen. These brooders should be located in 

 the inside of a building or under a, tree, or in an orchard or 

 grove. They have been in use for several yeiars and ihave 

 proved highly satisfactory. 



The Reliable Outdoor Brooders are warmed by top heat 

 exclusively. In the hot water style a copper boiler is lo- 



100, 200 AND 300 CHICK SIZE 



cated near the top of the irooder in the rear end, leaving 

 about four inches of space between the top of the brooder 

 and the top of the copper tank. The heat from the lamp 

 passes through the body of water and heats the water to the 

 desired degree. The heat that escapes from the copper tub- 

 ing, after passing through the tank of water, empties out 

 into the compartment where the lamp is located and is util- 

 ized by passing out through a tubing that is located above 

 the copper tank and is connected with the lamp compartment, 

 and allows no fumes from the lamp to enter the brooding' 

 chamber. It is arranged in such a way that all fumes from 

 the lamp are discharged outside the brooder.
