"You might be interested in the successful 

 way in which the International Sanitary Hover 

 acted. We had a late hatch in August, of forty- 

 two chicks, and it is with pleasure that I state 

 that today, (Sept. 22) we have the same number 

 living. 



(Signed) J. H. Hallock, 



Pine Top Poultry Farm, Hart wood, N. Y. 



What's the use hatching 

 chicks if you can't raise 'em 



The International Sanitary Hover is essential to successful brooding of chickens. It is 

 indispensable to the farmer with a few chicks or to the poultry man with thousands to 

 raise. Both give testimony to the wonderful results attained with this hover. 

 Don't continue with your old equipment and take any chances this year. 



This nearest to nature hover — the International Sanitary — is built en- 

 tirely of metal, and will last 20 years. The hover heat from above is greatest 

 near hover curtain, CONSEQUENTLY NO CROWDING, and chicks do 

 not pile in the center. Every chick has a chance under this hover. 



Vermin proof, liceproof, dirtproof. Steady hen heat, without drafts and 

 no possibility of foul air, gases or smoke getting to chicks. No expen- 

 sive brooder equipment necessary with these hovers. Can be set in barn, 

 box— anywhere.
